Thanks, that was my first attempt at bringing an entire picture together and even for 7 minutes it was a trying experience!!
I only had a few hours to work with Sheila, she could only come to the house on Labor Day so I had to make sure I planned out all the shots with her right then.
I just had to work in all my shots around her and make it look like we were in the same room at the same time for the ending.
Merlin was entertaining to work with, every time I set up a shot for him he would do a great job in rehearsal and then just get to the critical moment and sit down when the camera was rolling. I burned up an entire MiniDV tape on a couple of scenes with him!
I took Knightly's advice and bought an ATR-55 microphone to record the dialog, but sadly the compression on Chiller made it a little bit noisy at times.
And thanks to Sonnyboo I had just the right music for the dream sequence (properly credited I might add)
The one thing I noticed is how fast the deadline creeps up on you. I thought I could get the movie edited and entered on the first day of posting, but I had to take an extra 3 days just to tweak everything, and even with that I still am finding things I would fix given more time.
