First Post

So I guess I'm creating the first official post for this blog. Here we go...

This blog should be a fun and interesting way for the creators of this film to chronicle the development and production of our film 'Claire'. 'Claire' is tiny, micro-budget indie film we intend to shoot over this summer starting...

today.

Yeah, crazy. I'm sitting here and it's 11:30am and Austin, our DP, should be arriving in the next hour or so to discuss the last details of our shot design for today's scene. We're shooting a very small scene on a sidewalk in Ventura.

This movie will be an interesting process because we are shooting gradually over the next four months and hopefully wrapping in August. While making the coordination of cast and crew's schedules more difficult, it allows us the unique opportunity to really take our time, even with small scenes like today's. Instead of a 13 hour day, we're shooting for maybe 4 hours, which should keep things fun and loose and relatively low stress. It also helps up keep production cheap, handling smaller scenes on our own time with almost no crew.

Eventually, we will have our 13 hour days, but they will be broken up and managed on a weekend by weekend basis, often separated by weeks of planning.

This is our plan, anyway. We'll see how it goes.

This blog will serve as a window into our production and will host the thoughts and feelings of many of this film's creators. We hope you'll follow us on our crazy journey.
