How's everyone doing? | Thread profile

Everyone seems to be busy making films... this is either a good sign or a bad sign, as the challenge gets close to the close. :) Me? I'm going to wait until the absolute last minute before picking up a camera. Nothing like pressure!

I think the UWOL robbed me of my "spirit" for a little while. Not sure I'll have the time to put something together for this one... which is too bad considering I worked up the courage to enter for the first time. Oh well... guess I'll just have to catch it next time around. Best of luck to you, Andrew

An idea my son gave me was good but now the guys lined up to do it are too busy. That’s okay, though – I haven’t had time to even ...

I have not started at all! I did get my UWOL film done, but now it does not appear on the list. I don't know what happened there. Still working on the roof of my motorhome (almost done) and my son's flying in today. I have to teach a class tomorrow night and we have a shoot this Saturday. No sweat, I may get one done yet. ;) Mike

Well, I got the UWOL challenge done well before the deadline and before I could start on this one, a Defensive Handgun Skills class came up and I pretty much need to teach those when the folks need the training. So last week was spent doing that. I did manage to get a couple of folks interested in a story and for the first time I made myself do a storyboard. That helped me write a fair ...

OK...I’ve finally got a story, no script yet, four actors who can only shoot from 8-10:30 on Saturday night, multiple locations to light, weird props to find... Things are looking up! :)

Well, sign me up for the wall of shame now. I've actually shot everything and I've got a rough cut done, but there's a lot of post that needs to happen and as I'm out of town this weekend (for a really cool camera class that I'm very excited about) there's pretty much no way we'll finish on time. Well, we were very off theme anyway so it might be just as well. But we're having tons of fun ...

Things are looking up! :) Well....if your story is really good you might be 80% of the way there.
