Time Traveling...

    I'm pretty sure this is the last planning post I have to do for this insane journey. While I'm sad this fun project is soon ending, good RIDDANCE to planning. As I've said, all we have been focusing on is planning planning planning. So, I'm happy the next step in our production process is soon going to be underway. Since we finished filming everything last week, I'll try to "time travel" and go over our planning process for that day.

    It Twas the night before Chirstm- filming, when all through the group, everything was stirring, especially our time loop. Hopefully you enjoyed my short cheesy rendition of The Night Before Christmas poem. Anyway, we did a LOT. 

Where to?

These were a few example rooms I found from the website.

    I covered in detail our actual filming location last week; however, we had many more plans before we settled down on that location. In the midst of our planning process, we were concerned about where we were going to film the two scenes we had in mind, our main therapy scene and the outdoor scene. For the therapy scene, we came close to settling down on renting out an office building for $30 and hour, which contained a desk and two chairs. Luckily, we didn't settle down on this because I barely have 5 dollars, oops! But our main reason, besides the other hassle of having to pay, was that this restricted us from added more spice and character to our room. We wanted to show off a little bit of Dr. Schultz personality in the room, and a pre-decorated room just wasn't going to cut it. Plus, it ended up taking us 3 whole hours. 90 dollars for a room? Heck no. Then, one of my group members offered her house for filming, and it turned out to be perfect!

When to?

    Our schedules turned out to be a bit conflicting, and with a whole week of production posts ahead of us, we wanted to get filming done as soon as possible. So, we chose the Sunday before the planned production week! This gave us plenty of time to do our blog posts for this week, started our editing process quicker than anticipated, and took the stress of filming off our minds. But, what time of day to film? Our therapy session was set to be in the afternoon, so we scheduled our meet up a few hours in advance to shoot the indoor scenes before heading outdoors, with a good 30 minute to 1 hour leverage period. Sadly, at least for one of my group members, this did mean beginning to get ready at around 12:00, to start shooting at 2:30.
