pre-production

jasonWe are hard at work this week in pre-production for the next major fxphd film: Moving Day. We had planned this to have been shot at the end of Sept, but casting children is … hard. The film will be directed by the award winning Jason Wingrove. We will be shooting this at the very start of the new October term and posting it during the term. It should be a fun project: the story is Rambo meets Peter Pan at the end of the Secret Garden. This week we have been walking the location and working out the gear, lenses and crew to bring this funny and wild film to the screen. It is amazing how one can rush pre-production and yet anything solved now is 1/100 th the cost of fixing it later in post. Pre-production time is the single biggest gift you can give any film, and I love seeing the project improve as the creative team get to explore an idea instead of rushing to just meet a deadline. If you can max out your pre-production time -do – it is gold.
