Director at work! Today we held a read-through/blocking session with all but one actor for the upcoming Hieronymus production.... Here we see Paul (in pajamas, as is his directorial wont) with Christopher Sugarman and Don Hardy. They're in our bedroom studio that Paul blogged about a couple days ago. We're starting filming next week.
The process of making a movie is in no small part one of organization. That's what today was about -- getting ourselves organized and ready to go once we start filming next week. Since this installment in the Inspector Hieronymusseries has five characters, it's important that we all know what we're doing, and where we need to move on screen. So, we spent about 4 hours today planning the blocking before we have all those cumbersome lights and cameras and set pieces in place. It was a very useful few hours and should make the actual shoot go much more smoothly.
The cast really clicks well; they bounce ideas off one another and display a great deal of chemistry. It's great to find such a group of talented actors who work well together and seem to have a good time at it, too. I'm really looking forward to getting their performances into the computer and onto the screen.
Now, all that we have to do is finish building the sets, finish designing the shots and storyboarding, build a few more props, and finish costumes. Ah, the non-stop world of making movies!
I love it.
