It! Has! Begun!

.. filming, that is. We just completed our first evening of filming. It was a little short due to wardrobe issues (Stephanie is having trouble finding a "crazy person" dress), but we were able to knock out a few integral parts. Originally, it was supposed to be an all-weekend filming thing, but Steph needs to go home this weekend, so we'll resume filming on Monday evening, and plow a lot of it out next weekend and then start piecing it all together!

Now that filming has begun my biggest concern is getting the shots right. One of the things that was stressed when we first met was that these films have to be above average. How do I know if what I'm shooting will turn out "above average"? The only thing I'm trying to do is get great framing, lighting, and acting, and from there we'll hash a lot of it out in editing. That's also one of the reasons why I want to get done filming as early as possible- that way if something doesn't fit well or looks bad when we're editing, we have plenty of time to go back and re-shoot without feeling rushed.

Oh, and I was pretty bummed that we don't get audio teams until next week. Oh wells. [PS- If you can get the subject reference, you get a high five.]
