The Seat of our Proverbial Pants

Shooting on The Improv Movie begins in about two hours.  We hired our DP yesterday.  We’re still not sure who our second camera operator* will be.  So far, almost everything about this particular shoot has been done in a spirit of improvisation.  Which is great!  Or perhaps very, very bad.  We’ll know in a few days.

I did go on a prop run yesterday, and had Sumi pick up a few items as well.  10-foot lengths of chain?  Check.  Fuzzy handcuffs?  Check.  Baby monitor?  Check.  And now I’m off to buy the nail file!  I hope you’re now as intrigued to see this movie as I am …

Wish us luck!  Wish us brilliance!  I fear we may need both.

*We need two cameras because the dialogue’s going to be improvised, and if we miss something, it’s gone for good.
