My Thoughts and Experiences on Pre-Production
The key here was that we had a common goal, with the same interest at heart. But that alone does not achieve success.
In this case; for such a short project, there did not seem to be much need to storyboards or a script.
I think we knew that handling a spider was going to be kind of random.
We were also rushed to get to production because of the submission deadline (which I have found out now has been pushed out 6 months).
The biggest problem with rushing this part was that when it came to editing I was forced to make many workarounds to get the story to fit into one minute.
Next time though – I am going to have to force myself to be more strict in planning and previz.
Hey Philip, I would be interested to see how your short develops. If you ever want to share something with a large film community, please let me know. I am looking to promote great talent! Cheers!
