I got a call from a friend not long ago and suddenly the world zips by and here I am arranging things for next weekend.
That’s right, after many months of idling we’re finally getting something done. I’m planning it to be a short action scene with explosions, gunfire, body hits and all the usual things you’d expect. Won’t go over a minute.
I hope.
I spoke with Jimmy Low today while on a shoot and we’ve pretty much got the stunt side settled. He’s awesome in that way, helping me out with last-minute requests. Starting tomorrow, I’ll be sourcing a couple of people for crew (I’ll be handling the camera along with my friend, Jayden) and two guys as actors.
Attire is settled and we’ll be using the old Army uniforms with helmet and all. I’m, not sure if there are any restrictions on this, but, hey, I’ve seen so many local productions shooting people in Army uniform without the ministry’s approval and these things actually go on air or get screened.
What I’m worried about now is location. There’s a confusion now. We have an idea or two on locations but they’re what you call a ‘jungle’. We’re writing permits to shoot, but have no idea WHO to write to! National Parks, or Land Authority?
Sadly, this is kind of a problem, and the internet couldn’t help us. Well, challenges are fun.
Crunch time has started!
