NEXT THREE FANFARE PASSION PROJECTS

[shmity72]

ESO ...all 34 music boxes.
ESO housing walk of guild members 'scary' houses.
ESO housing walk of the chapel in the movie divine wedding and making of.

the music boxes are furnishings within the game that play unique music. they loop every 2 or 3 minutes. i plan to exhibit them and use them in my movies.
housing walks are exhibitions of peoples houses purchased in eso that they've decorated uniquely

I figure the music museum will take about 70x3 hours to produce.
scary movie houses may be a little less.

right now I'm in the middle of preproduction storyboarding the music museum.

ideas translated to shots of the movie. When it comes time to shooting the last thing you want to say to your crew is...what should we shoot next?
happy accidents will happen in making movies.
'hopefully'
but a director wants every shot scripted to the best of his/her ability in preproduction before the shooting/production phase.

My wife does the 'why' i.e. story and message.
I do the 'how' translate it into audio and visual flow.
She's also a hell of a set decorator.

an entirely ugly and crude story board. These are the shots to film though.

 

[shmity72]

hopefully i can cut out one or two of the 'cutaways' shots like the trophies...if i can get the camera to move just right. mouse curvature is a bit unsteady for now

 

[shmity72]

so...my wife has had the last two weeks off for vacation and we've just hung out.
I've only opened adobe once or twice in that time so back at it soon.

 

[shmity72]

One of the three finally 'caught fire'. We have lift off of the next movie.
It's neither of the two above. We revisited the chapel walk. It just took off tonight.

 

[shmity72]

Preproduction went particularly smoothly as it was just me and my wife doing it without 'volunteers'

there's a bit of storyboarding left but I have bones of a movie to begin the production phase.

I begin filming tonight.

The best part of creativity:

Literally dreaming up possibilities to manifest, in my case movie flow/story.

 

[shmity72]

When you take several weeks for preproduction on a movie project...you can 'shoot it' in 5 days.

Movie flow and shooting days

Day 1 structure with riba present

Day 2 crafting house. Riba present?no

Day 3 tiki house. Riba present?

here are the first three.
