Talks of Story Boards

I started talking with Dan about storyboarding. He’s gonna read the newest version of the screenplay and we’re gonna probably get together on Sunday to start talking about different visual elements in the film. We wont start storyboarding till march probably. We’re playing around with different options for an artist. I’m terrible and so is he, at least that’s what he says. I have two choices. Drew Mackay who played Afro in LOTD and did all the story boards for that film, or going to the art department and looking for someone who likes to draw. My only hesitation with drew is that his style of drawing is fairly comical and I’d like the story boards to be realistic and not comical in of them selves. I’m also concerned about time commitments in general. It’s going to be hard to schedule the storyboard sessions. Realistically we should meet at least 2 to 3 times a week for a good 2-3 months. But that’s going to be hard to orchestrate.

I’m about 95% done with the breaking down of the current draft and will probably start rearranging the breakdowns into a schedule this afternoon. I’m on page 105 of 111. I love scheduling because it makes the movie look that much easier to make. Although that can be very deceiving. I tried printing a sample sheet at the computer lab where the software is but some error code came up. The lab assistant said she’d try and fix it by Friday. I’ll be sooooooo pissed if I can’t print from this software. The things going to print me about 700-1000 pages in different reports and things. Not to mention I have to make copies of a lot of stuff for cast and crew. Sheesh.

I found out last week that Brandon Hannifin’s agent is telling him not to cut his hair. this frustrates me cause I wont Brandon to play the role but he has to cut his hair. Maybe I can smooth talk him or something.

I still have yet to hear back from a few of the actors I sent scripts too. I’ll email them before I post auditions notices in march.
