Finally finished one of the most intimidating scenes in the film after not getting to film in over a month. Intimidating on paper only though. Everything I’ve filmed has actually been easier than I thought it would be. Anyways, all the rest will be easy compared to this scene. I filmed the first half of the scene […]
Filmmaking
Finally finished another scene. Of all the scenes I had to film twice it was the one in my own backyard. I paid the actors because they had to show up twice. Filming during magic hour, and especially blue hour is a race against the clock. All for the best as we discovered new […]
I’m now filming at least once a week. I want to get to 2x a week. I’ve filmed a large portion of the movie. Feels so great to look at my Adobe premiere project and see it so full. I now even send clips of the movie to friends to get their honest feedback, to […]

And what I’ve learned from self doubt is it’s never served me well. “Low self–esteem is like driving through life with your hand-brake on.” – Maxwell Maltz Best quote I’ve ever read. I also started using positive affirmations […]
Biggest scene I’ve shot so far. The same guy that lent me his camera to use, volunteered to do audio, and did a great job. The audio levels are great, he helped with the mono mixing I completely messed up on. The actors did great and loved being a part of it. Alex drove up […]
I’ve come a long way with learning how to use a camera. Getting a camera was step 1 actually. I knew nothing before, but when you have to be your own cinematographer, you learn quickly. Just like everything else, there’s only so much you actually need to know. Just go with the 80/20 rule. […]
