redfishieThe 48-Hour film project was this past weekend….
A quick sum up
48 hours to make a movie that’s 4-8 minutes long. Ours clocked in at 7:40. Our genre was sci-fi.
I got very little sleep the whole weekend (some on Friday night at the studio, 2 hours after our mandatory afternoon break on Saturday, and an hour and a half on Sunday morning. Somehedgehog managed to get us a fabulous location, her old high school, to shoot at and we had a plethora of props and other goodies to work with.
I did camerawork (yeah filming plasma balls, yeah filming actors), set dressing, general helping to set up and cart the set, and then some editing on Saturday night (mostly the museum scene footage, both before and after the flashback). At some point I pulled Brett (who did most of the editing) back into that process (he got to sleep for awhile) and then he went off with it while I went off to get my amazing 2 hours o’sleep :).
Sunday for me was more bits o’ helping to film footage and generating sound effects, picking up food from one of our generous sponsors, and some more tiny bits of editing (laying down music and a few special effects) plus giving input on what was left of the filmmaking process. Everyone did so much, and even the smallest bits and contributions were important...I left feeling like I hadn't done enough...because we had so many people doing so many things.
Everyone I worked with was amazing, and the amount of dedication to the project was great. People were full of ideas and we managed to make the great story come together and have it work. The last few minutes of getting the video together weren’t the greatest, since the machine crashed, and we lost our corrected credits…but we did manage to fix them for the most part and get 2 copies of the film to the entry place in time. So this Tuesday night it’s showing at the Brattle Theatre. You should all come. The people involved in this were just amazing.
