I have now opened up the gates for my casting. YIKES!!!

Locations

Working on securing a couple of locations now. One is for auditions, the other is for filming. Hope to know a few things in the coming days about both!

Teenage Superstar...

So Dom and I met for several hours today and talked and talked about featuring him in a documentary and doing some video work together. Great talk and conversation. Ultimately it was decided that we are going to make a music video to start with for Teenage Superstar. The video will be like the video he made but slightly different because we are going to use a female actress for the "bedroom" and take out the audience crowd, just feature him and his backup rappers. As soon as he sends me the song and lyrics I will start working on the script. We are going to shoot on March 5th.

Roger and Me

Furiously working on breaking down what needs to be in every shot (props, actors, ect.). A lot more complex than I want it to be. Maybe there is a way I can make this a bit easier....

Where I am at

Ok, so first off, hey to the readers and second thank you for reading!

Here is how my progress is going IMO: I think that I am doing fantastic and things are going very well for my little film Roger, which won't be very little once it is completed.

The steps that I have done so far:

Wrote the Script

Rewrote the script

Rewrote it again and again about 3 more times or so.

Next I went through and began breaking the script down with a pen for my shot list. Lots of scribbles all over the script. The shot list is basically what I am going to see in the camera lens while shooting the film. This is very important because without this, my cinematographer will not know what my vision of the film is.

After the scribbles on my script, I started working on my story board, which I made into a video story board. I took the scribbles on the script as the shots I wanted to use for the story board. But I knew that the story board was not going to be the actual final version for the shooting script. You can see the video story board here : youtube.com/jboutinproductions

After making the video story board I began writing the shooting script. Going through each shot for the scenes, numbering them and describing what the camera should be seeing.

Up completion of that my new task is now making a scene break down board.

A scene break down board is what I will use to show what I need in the way of props and actors and other things for each scene and shots.

After this is done I will then begin to work on my shot list board, where I will have a detailed list of the order I want to film my scenes.

This coming week is going to be a fun one. I will be starting to cast out the casting call net, as well as securing a couple of locations for the shoot. One of them will be hopefully at the RVTV studio, the other is yet to be found but I am looking!

Anyway filming will begin in late March, casting will hopefully be done in early March.

Thats all for now.
