Storyboard & Make Up FX

On Friday, March 9 I helped with the storyboard with Ganesh and Jared. The process is very time consuming. Each shot was drawn out and detailed with angles, lenses and camera movement. The process took 2 days overall, I was only able to help on the last day. On Friday we worked on it from 10am til 9pm when we finished the storyboard. Despite the tediousness of it, I know it will help production run alot smoother since we have an idea what the final product will look like. I know with the camera movement preplanned out, it will help me do lighting set up according to the shot. I know once the shots were listed it made it alot easier to organize a shooting schedule which helps alot on the pre viz.

Since I was out of country, I wasn't able to look at the schedule until Monday night (19th). After going through it, its helping me visualize what equipment we need and how the lights will be set up in the mansion to the shots which should help speed things along. I am meeting up with Ganesh Tuesday morning to book all equipment needed for the whole shoot for the next 2 weeks.

Meanwhile, I've been the liaison between the make up artist and the production. I've worked with her on several creative projects, and know she is very capable of doing what we need for this production. I've been in contact with her by sending the FX list Jared made, and updating her on schedule with the production as well as her schedule to us. She has also gathered a supply list needed for make up FX which was generally accounted for in the budget, but she was able to itemize it specifically. Fortunately make up that we need for FX can be made mostly of household items, so the cost fits right into our budget.

Since I wasn't able to do much over the break due to lack of internet access, it was very challenging to remain in touch with the production. With the few times I was able to log on I got brief updates, and were able to remain in communication with the make up artist to our production. Luckily, everything seems to be going smoothly and we'll be hitting full production starting Tuesday for the next few weeks, which is going to be fun, challenging, and quite a bit of work.
