Thank goodness it's almost Fall...

Director and Producer (me) are meeting with a guy that runs everything over at the local park today. We'll be filming there, hopefully, two days in the coming months. That is...if he likes us. Fingers crossed that he will.

In the meantime, Director wrote a script long ago that was meant for stage, but we adapted it into a short film. Since I have a new, amazing, fantastical camera, we're going to test the short film on that and try to impress people with our amazing skills so they will work for us and give us money. Dream big, right? I just threw that last part in there about the money. But I will accept cash if offered.

Bundles of it.

Composer is doing some neat things right now. He gave me a sample of the soundtrack that he came up with pretty much on the spot, and I was so green with envy it made me want to vomit. People, look out...he's the next Hans Zimmer.

If you don't know who that is, google him or youtube him. Then you'll realize how empty and void your life was before Hans.

And finally, I came to a conclusion today. I love Fall. I love everything about it. The temperature, the colors, pumpkins, the temperature, no allergies, the temperature. I'm happy to be filming in the Fall.

I made a promise to myself that I would never, ever, EVER film in the summer. I did for KFW this Summer, and it's just too much of a hassle. What, with the sweat and tears. And misery.

Doin the blog thing...

I've never been a blogger. Personally, I never felt my life was interesting enough to write down the mundane details. But I'm starting a new chapter in life called Proverb Films. After working for Kelly's Filmworks for nearly four years, I'm branching out to start my own little shindig. Some friends have been encouraging me to write down all my thoughts and whatnot during the filming process. So, here we are.

I can hear the crickets right now.

Anyway, I didn't get a lot accomplished today. But my partner in crime (aka the Director) did. She bought some pretty cool filters for editing and whatnot. I played with the camera a bit. Took a nap. Woke up. Took another nap.

This isn't normal behavior, I promise. After working for KFW these past few months, you learn to sleep when you can. Sadly enough, there are only two more days of filming left. I'll miss the cast and crew of course, but man...I really wanna sleep for a year.

But, I digress. Some of my cast and crew are going to Kings Island this Saturday for bonding time. That, and it'll be easy to get what looks like home-video footage for the lead (aka the Star). It'll be Director's anniversary with her hubby, and the day before my birthday. We're gonna rock and roll all night and party every day til then.

Not really.

But yeah.
