Hey guys,

just wanted to throw a few things out there that i didn’t cover in the meeting last night…

When filming, get some “transition shots” that we can use to connect all the scenes through spiffy editing.

for example, in the haas scene, do a close up of one guy pushing the elevator button.

for the drug scene, do a close up of a hand turning on the stove and turning a knob. When we edit, we can go between these scenes with a visual flow that will make the entire piece much more visually interesting.

I’ll be assisting Erika’s shoot on Saturday at 3pm in the village, and hannah and nicole’s Haas scene on Sunday at 9:30am. So if you guys have confusion as to what i mean by transition shots, i’ll be there to clarify.

i’ll be filming my scene sometime in the middle of next week…

Those of you filming after Easter break, no worries. Just reply to this message and remind me who those of you are.

peter kleinberger, will you be filming before or after break?

Again, i just want to reiterate that I don’t want you to be afraid of telling me what i’m doing wrong, if any of you see anything that should be done differently. i can’t change anything if i am not aware of what has to be changed. We’re all very busy, and this is not the only extracurricular project i’m working on so i need your help to run this smoothly. I’m glad my absence in the beginning of yesterday’s meeting allowed you to vent and figure out how to deal with some of your concerns.

Lastly i;m going to call coppa and find out about department funding. Until then, keep any receipts for anything you purchase that is shoot related.

talk to Scott Rod about any special effects material you need!!!!
