Ready, set, go!
[ Written before this actually happened, except for the unknown information ]
We just got the call from our Producer, Denise, who went to Ecotrust to turn in our paperwork by the official starting time of 7pm. She also pulled our film’s theme, instead of a genre like you do in the normal 48 Hour Film Project .
We pulled SAVE THE WATER, and our film must have that and environmentalism as its central story.
Everyone was assigned:
Prop: BOWL
Line of dialog: “CAN I HELP YOU?”
Character: G. VERDE – MALE/FEMALE, GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE
Time to do some serious brainstorming, plot creation, and writing so that our amazing team can whip out this film over the next 48 hours.
Hopefully it will be as conceptually brilliant as that business man on the track.
Over and out!
Prop?
As I walked out of my house this morning, this was there on the curb. Potential?
TBD tonight, but it now lives in my studio.
I just remembered…
… that my friend has an extremely large gun collection. Hmmm…
The Actors
Last night we had another meeting, this time to focus on the actors who are up for the challenge. Besides introductions, we had a spur of the moment reading of scenes from “The Big Lebowski” and “Pulp Fiction.” This was a great idea, as it helped us get to know the capabilities and delivery of each person. I’m quite excited about our potential cast, and am looking forward to what kind of roles Sam, John and I will be devising for them tomorrow night.
We also went over more logistics, reviewed the tentative schedule for the weekend, and Sam and Ed gather their toys together. I must say, I’m rather excited about the gallon of fake blood that is sitting near me right now.

A lot of this
Emails have been flying all over the place this past week. I am very thankful for our Producer, Denise Ransome, for all her hard work and organization. A true lifesaver.
Meeting 4 – the team
Last night 12 of us gathered to finish defining our roles and devise our schedule of attack for this quick film adventure. We had fun brainstorming potential locations, props, and costumes.
Meeting 3
The team is shaping up very nicely – we’re up to about 10 people. Sam and I met with Denise Ransome (Producer) of 52 Ltd. and Peach Cheesecake, and Ed Flynn (Technical Director, Camera Operator) of Ugly Mug Advertising to go over some logistics and more planning at Mississippi Pub Pizza.
We then popped over to Second Story to get some inspiration from their viewing of “Moving Targets,” short films from the design world.
One of my favorites was a simple and lovely stop-motion animation called “Hints for Better Living” by Mike Afsa.
