Crescendo

I know it's hard to get a project done when people are donating things for free (whether it's themselves, property, food, etc.), but with all of the changes that had to be made to the schedule since day 1, we have now reached an interesting point. I'm calling it the crescendo of the song called 'Principal Photography of The Retelling'.

This part might sound like a math problem you'd see on a standardized test- We're returning the equipment on August 4th, so that leaves four days left to finish production. There are 117 scenes in the movie, and we've shot roughly 100 of them so far. Due to more scheduling conflicts, we are shooting 14 of the remaining scenes on Thursday. That means we will need to travel to 3 different locations, and one is out of town.

I really don't want to drag out the production thinking it would make things easier. We really can't afford to rent out the equipment again, and it may already be rented for that time. In addition, school starts mid-August. It just feels like putting it off, and we're so close...

So while it may be tough, I think we can do it. Just have to get through this one day, then we'll be solid.
