The Day before Tomorrow
So to say i'm not nervous about the shoot is an understatement. I always get like this before some big event.
I think too much and get all nervous and things tend to go to shit. i do admit i got a better grip on myself(gay) than on other shoots.
Just so much planning has gone into this and i hate for things to just fuck up. Murphy's law is a hateful bitch goddess. Pray that i dont have any bad juju. or jewjew. or a jew period.
On the eve of one of the most ambitious things i've ever taken on, i'm calm. Not rushy. Not panicky. Just calm.
I don't know if that necessary scares me or just i got my shit planned out with some air tight precautions.
I'm also really blessed to have my actors and everyone involved be into this project. For some reason, this project is very self-deprecating for me. I criticize it to my actors, to potential producers, to everyone i can get in contact with.
And i dont know why.
To me, it was just a stupid concept that 2 ppl thought was funny. Then when i tell people the concept, the smile on their face is that of instant approval. Whether or not they'll see it... well with a total count of more than 3,000 views spread out across the web (funny or die, break, youtube) thats not half bad.
Like i said before, this project, this webisode, is probably the biggest undertaking of my life so far.
Have i done all this in vain? I hope not. I hope this will be viewed as a bookmark of where i was as a filmmaker in my life. That during this period of time, I made these. That i poured so much time and effort into my craft.
I hope you laugh. I hope you have questions. I hope you'll be moved by it.
In fact, i dont hope for those things. I know you'll laugh. At it or with it. If not, a smile.
What i do want is an emotion. A sense that i've been practicing in my craft.
What i dont want, is pure and utter nothing.
Think what you want about the film(s)... as long as you think something. I've done my job.
