Sorry I haven't updated el blogo in such a long time, but alas I have been on vacation this week. Anyway, last night I would have updated it but I ran into various problems such as the batteries in my "lamp" (aka reading light) running out as I was filming. Talk about frustrating! You could actually see the light go from bright to dim in the frames I was taking. But I bought some new batteries tonight and got a whopping ten seconds of footage done in one night. That's why it's a filming jumpstart, because I hadn't filmed for days and now I got ten seconds done. I guess that kind of makes up for it. Now with this ten seconds done, I've filmed almost all of Scene 3 except for the part where the smoker jail explodes. I can't do that for a while though, since I still have to film the last scene that also uses the same set.
Also, I've been working on even more script revisions, this time dealing with the climax. I'm still fixing some things, but basically I've just freed myself from having to make a sequel. Basically I added in some stuff in this one that will allow it to function properly as a stand-alone film, but I can still make a sequel to sort of fill out the storyline a bit more. That takes a lot of pressure off my shoulders, knowing that after this I might be able to focus on some easier projects. I'm thinking about doing a series of films based off of some ideas I came up with a long time ago, entitled "The Ben and Dorothy Adventures." Most of the stuff was really lame and unrealistic, but it might come across as a good comedy series in brickfilm form. Plus, each "episode" would only have to be 5 minutes or so apiece. So that's that, and tomorrow I'll start filming on Scene 21, the aforementioned other scene that is using the same smoker jail set. Hopefully I can get that done by the time I go on vacation again on July 15.
