No, but seriously – is it really week nine already?!
It’s the start of the week, and it’s already feeling a little too unorganised with pre-production, but we’re getting there!
Our communication within our group has improved drastically since we completed the pilot for Ghastly Solutions, but still has a lot of room for improvement. Thankfully for our wonderful casting director, we now have a set cast – but our schedule has changed, so we’re having to attempt to reschedule with our talent, which puts both them and us off track a bit. But we shall progress!
This week is going to be full of pre-production work, including:
- storyboarding;
- finalising locations;
- finalising production schedule/shoot times;
- creating a shooting schedule and call sheet;
- organising props and costumes;
- contacting the talent and organising schedules;
- and organising a table read/rehearsals.
We are going to be very busy fitting all of this in within the next week or so, and we are finding it difficult understanding where to start in this list without finalised versions of the first two scripts from the writers.
Personally, I am getting a little nervous for this production, as it is already week 9 and we are yet to start filming episode one. This is probably not that much of an issue as we are only filming the first two episodes rather than all four, but it just does not leave very much time for pre-production, rehearsals, shooting and post-production. From here on out we will be very busy, but I just hope it runs smoothly enough to be able to fit all of this into the cast and crew’s schedules.
All negativity aside, I am confident that my team and I will be able to successfully complete these two episodes within this time frame. We all understand where we stand within the creation of this film, which really helps to make sure every person is getting their job done.
