Here's a snippet:
As you can see, we're trying to walk that fine line of parody and reality, though by the end it does become more obvious. But that doesn't mean that there won't be people who watch it and go, "Wait, what?"
Yvonne Vairma is officially producing the project. She's the amazingness that sat in on our Directing III class the other week and actually gave more feedback than most of our class. She's got a lot on her plate, but is handling it very nicely.
We're still in the process of locking down the apartment complex for our location. Beatriz Gomez, our location manager, had to drop out due to conflicts with other projects. This is definitely turning out to be the most challenging aspect of production. If anyone knows of any ideas, please send them my way. A lot of the issues are, "We'll have to check with our regional manager" type stuff. I'm trying to get someone else to work with locations. Any ideas?
Cris and I just completed our camera tests and decided to make it look really digital when we're recording the narration parts, then slightly more film-like with the reenactments. You see this type of stuff on shows sometimes. I've asked Travis to gaff the project. His work is pretty awesome -- he did Jeanette McNeil's capstone. Allie Kenyon has agreed to work with Cris as 1st AC.
Rebecca Kenyon didn't show up to our production meeting today. She's doing production design. She could be dead. My good friend Kristin Aiello is working with Becca, so things should look great. Tyler Sherrier is doing make-up. He's my ex-roommate, actually, and we had our fair share of roommate conflicts. There's certainly some irony in that. Here's an example of make-up he did on himself for his theatrical make-up techniques class:
I had this idea today at the meeting to have one of those vinyl banners that apartment complex have with some fake phone number and something like, "Sign up today!" I'd put it in all the background shots of the tour portion of the video. You'd clearly be able to tell that it's the same poster being moved around, which is what a real complex would probably do. Not sure about that yet. Also, wondering if I should have the narrator of the video holding an "Apartment Place Landings" travel mug at some point.
Deborah Fishkind is doing casting. She's doing good for her first time. Casting is hard, especially for this project. I'm having another casting session at school tomorrow (Saturday) at 5pm. Feel free to show up and help/steal people.
Cast rehearsals next Wednesday. Final production meeting next Thursday. And we're off.
