Just to clarify on the purpose of doing a trailer before completing the film.
1) It gives us something to show potential investors what we are capable of and what we are trying to do. (I know it's very old-school, but check out #2)
2) Trailers usually contain the most dynamic and visually interesting parts of the feature. The best plan for filming is to get the complicated stuff out of the way first. So, we'll be figuring out what is needed for the trailer and shooting the actual scenes, as well.
Now if, as we proceed, we find we have a better grasp of the whole process of filming and creating, we can go back and re-do any scenes we wish.
This is a way of focusing us on what we can get started with and begin all of our learning processes.
I don't have much more experience than any of you guys. I've made a few shorts. Worked on a local indie for one day. And been an actor-person in a locally shot film. I've taken filmmaking classes and that's it.
This is a learning process for all of us. And it's gonna be fun.
*Nix kicks a nearby cat for absolutely no reason at all.*
Oh, and the disc I burned of Spawn's trailer track won't play on my walkman or whatever the hell they call them nowadays. So, I'll have to get back to it when I get back from Texas. Sorry.
Nix says: 3 guys one bed, one couch and an inflatable mattress. This will be fun.
