LHFH Production Begins

Post by Don

The story, which is inspired by chaotic and ridiculous real life events of our friends, was refined and edited by all three of us in a brain storming session on December, 28 2009.

I think we were all really excited at how easy the brainstorming went. T-Bob spent the time on his laptop editing and changing the script as we all three refined ideas and dialog and in general we laughed and had a good time.

Compelled by the ease of collaboration and collective desire to make this short come to life we set another production meeting for the following monday.

We met as planned at my place on January 4th 2010 around noon. We were all hungry so we made a giant scramble egg dish using left overs from my fridge (spinach, onions, garlic, cheese) and had some toast with assorted jams. Bernard noticed that the blackberry jam we were eating had mold in the top of the lid, so we quit eating that.

After brunch we began sketching storyboards and shot lists and worked till about 7:30 till T-Bob had to leave for his dance rehearsal. The storyboards were really coming together. Bernard was sketching and started to really get a feel for the look of some of the characters. T-bob manned the laptop and guided us with his input on framing camera movement . . . etc.

One thing that I thought was really funny was that I was doing really rough sketches with notes for character and camera movement but Bernard and I were essentially drawing the same angles and framing with out evening discussing it. The only exception being that almost every shot we drew mirrored from the others sketch . . . very interesting.

Got about 80% through the story-boarding and planned to meet again on Wed. The 6th.
