Production begins

Day 1 shooting is complete. Everything went as well as could be expected - all shots were completed roughly on schedule. I hope the footage turns out OK. About 100' of film were used, spread over 3 carts. Tomorrow's shooting should take about 150'. That means we're operating on an assumed shooting ratio of about 2:1 - better than I had expected, which means my recent film order of 8 more carts will probably not be needed for this project. Better to have more than you think you'll need, though. I'm also playing around with concepts for my next project, which will be an exploitation horror flick shot either partially on miniDV or all on S8. More later.
