Movie Guild Meetup #11

April 21st, 2008 by stephenstephen

Movie Guild Meetup #11 rocked, of course. We have Mat Black back from his little fling in Tennessee. He is damaged goods, but recovering steadily.

Also this is the first meetup with the new Movieguild member Jennifer Pan. She was on set rockin the hardcore equipment. We had a slate! Okay, I’ll give you a moment to let that settle in…

*a period of time passes*

Yeah, so we had a slate.

We watched Machined, a low budget horror film. It was not a good movie, but we watched it for a purpose. The purpose being next weeks movie, Machined Reborn (I’d link you to the movie, but its not out yet. And i cant find the website for it). I don’t think everyone understands what I’m trying to do, but I wanted to see the contrasting difference between someones first effort (Machined) and one of their later films (Machined Reborn). I think we will all be pleasantly surprised with the quality differences.

After the movie, we then sat around and tried to write miniature stories to film. It was a lot harder than I’d anticipated. Luckily Mat had this one covered. He wrote up a short series of events, and we used that as our groundwork for the days shoot.

I wont spoil it by saying what happens, but it will most likely confuse you.

I think we all learned the importance of a good catering service on set. Unfortunately we don’t have a budget or anything, so we cant actually provide food for ourselves.

The editing wont happen for a while, thats just how the schedule worked out. Busy week for everyone, or at least, a few of us.

You guys think of anything else we should do differently next time? (comment)

    I think we should have one meeting where its all pre production and practice run throws with my other camcorder. Have everything planned out and then have time to think of any more ideas until the next meeting… which is the real production of shooting the whole thing. Otherwise things become rushed and a lot to take in one day and for someone like me who didn’t consider eating before hand and feeling super tired for not being prepared. :(

    I’m down for that plan.
