Actually...yes.
Dang! My camera man gets over, we unpack, go through our shot plan, eat some eggs and bacon, and I ask him which pocket has the batteries...
He says the side pocket. I check them both... No batteries.
He revises: "Oh... they're by my phone on my desk at home..."
Crud. Ok- next weekend we're filming! Curse my luck! This is gonna be close...

Had actors & DP up in Riverside today, to get a feel for the place. We are filming in a really neat bar, smack dab in the middle of a Chinese restaurant. The restaurant (and the owner) are totally 
Total brand-new script, as well. I couldn't works some kinks out of the previous one, so I tossed it and wrote a new one Saturday night.
We're all insane, I tell you... insane!

Our movie is done, I just need to render it. Total run time is 4:47. And...after viewing the finished product in black and white, we agreed that it was not right for our movie. So we are going color!
Halfway home peeps. The deadline is in three weeks (Apr. 30). If you haven't started, now would be a good time to start.

Filming in a few hours!!!
Go team!!!
4:00 we start the filming. Should be done by... 10PM... tomorrow I edit all day...
This'll be my first editing all by myself... I hope I don't get TOO drunk... (editing makes you drunk right?)
Questions for all:
Who is using sound equipment, and who is using camera audio?
Who is using an original score?
Oh, and does using a looping machine count as original score???

It won't be eligible for the prize, because a loop technically isn't an original score.

i just got home from central australia for 2 weeks and i've learnt one thing: 24 hours of express bus ride home stopping through 2 capital cities = detatched sense of reality. Oh and my camera keeps dying (e.g. buttons dont work, tape keeps popping out in the middle of a shot)..... i have strong doubts i will make this but i WILL

We use an external mic plugged into a camera to record audio. Audio is finessed with sound processing software before being added to video track (noise reduction, etc). We also have a library of sound effects that are added as needed.
Our movie features three orginal songs (that we also wrote and recorded). I guess that original songs would count as an original score, but that would be up to the judges to decide.
Evening report:
Ok. Filming is done. I had trouble capturing on USB, but finally got around to getting a low-res version of the footage on my PC. Premiere wouldn't capture because of some stupid reason (probably the crappy USB cable) so I had to capture in MOVIEMAKER. Ugh. Not good.
So here's the scoop. I'm editing a rough version to send to my editor and he'll edit it hopefully within the next two weeks.
Where is everyone else at?

Saturday we had our second actors rehearsal. This one has a cast of 4 and a half. (The half being me on a voiceover) It went really well. I'm very happy with all of them.
Sunday night, Flaviu (boardmember DirectorX) and I went out to the location to work on a shot-list and eat lots of Chinese food.
Wednesday night is zero-hour... we start filming at 9pm.
I'll post some stills from the shoot, after we are done.

Might seem rough with a deadline to beat, but don't sweat it.
Everyone in this is hobbled by the limitations of 'net-viewable presentations. Online films never have the perfect viewing conditions, especially with the filesize caps for this... I suspect that a strong story will carry more weight than the odd pixelation problems.
