loose ends

Things are really coming together nicely at this point. I think we actually have a movie here. This weekend, I am lucky enough to get the chance to bring the core group of actors back together and shoot a revised ending. Something just wasn't right about the ending as it was in the script. On paper it might have been fine, but once I got a chance to see the characters brought to life, something didn't feel right.

So Monday morning, I woke up and banged out 7 new pages. That's what we're going to shoot this weekend. Weather permitting anyway. I'm also going to try to cram in a few shots that will just smooth things out at various places in the movie. Once again, this is a complete luxury that is only made possible by the fact that we are shooting on DV.

Current timeline for finishing... revised cut by the end of february. Digital effects done by the mid-april. Final cut on May 1st. I'm going to try very hard to stick to those dates, but I originally thought we be done shooting by the end of October, so what do I know.
