Meeting the Production Team

Thursday, May 8, 2008 | 11:10 AM

Well, hello! Steve here with a little post about what's been happening today...

Today we met with Stun Creative for the first time... well, in person anyway. No matter what changes happen with the way films get made I still think that this is a people business and it's always great to put a face to a name.

Everyone we met today was really great and seeing how excited they were about the project ramped me up into a crazy, nearly vibrating out of my chair overdrive. Of course there were a few concerns with what Stu and I thought we might be able to do but this is an indie production and apparently asking for all digital sets and Jar-Jar Binks in every episode was just a little out of our reach. Oh well, maybe next time. ;)

The resources that Mark and Brad from Stun are bringing to the table is a little awe inspiring for someone who is used to having to beg borrow and steal for every production. Plus, they gave us muffins! It's amazing how easy it is to win a place in my heart with baked goods.

The meeting was taped for the behind the scenes video as well, I guess that is something that I am going to have to get used to... so I should just out myself now and let you know that I bite my nails. Not only that, I do it and I'm not ashamed. Much to the horror of my mother. Best I just own up to it now. With all the cameras around me, I keep thinking I'm going to be on a reality show where I have to complete a bunch of physical challenges to make the film. If that happens, the whole production is in trouble because my goal is to be like Orson Welles... not that I think I'm anywhere in the league of Welles as a filmmaker, I mean that I am a very lazy man and I hope to one day be ferried around in a wheelchair on set.

You gotta dream big! ;)
