Set Production Photos

Well, for the most part filming is done, so I wanted to get one last post in for 2015, showing a few behind-the-scenes photos taken during production.  Click each image for higher resolution.

First up, a set of three photos that show a little setup we created outside Charlie's (the main character's) window, which is supposed to be on a second story if you can imagine it.  The story takes place in a very wooded area that is frequently cloudy, so we stuck a few branches around his window as well as a white sheet to look like a solid sky of clouds.

The final appearance as it looks from inside his room...

And below, some more set preparations for a scene that's supposed to take place in a theater.

As well as some indoor lighting.

And finally a day scene, which we actually filmed during the night.  A cool little setup where we simply put a bright light outside the window, which should look pretty convincing in the final film.

Looking forward to posting more in 2016 as we finally dive full force into the post-production side of things.

And perhaps soon we'll finally finish this thing!

Principal Photography is Finally Complete!

Principal filming is finally done!  Woohoo!

Technically, I still have a few scenes left, but all critical scenes where any of the main characters are involved (a stage that I’ve been referring to behind the scenes as “Phase One”) is finally complete!  Took a little over two years… Yikes!  But it's finally done!

All that’s still left of actual production now is “Phase Two”, which is mostly just pick-up shots, inserts, a few other scenes of extra/side characters, etc., and then it’s completely off to the post-production stage!  I’ve actually already edited about half of the current footage, so I already have a major jump on it, but I still have a long way to go.

In the meantime, here's some photos of all the tapes we used to film this thing (yeah, we're still on tapes), as well as the script and even a glimpse at some of my notes during filming:

Here's to finally finishing this thing!  :D
