Let The Challenges Begin

Hey guys, so bad news. I was suppose to begin filming today with my actor, Daniel, and my mom, Luisa. However, a forgotten family event led my actor to the first day of shooting. It's a bummer and puts me behind a full day unfortunately. On the bright side, I was able to confirm (and I made him pinky promise) that tomorrow he will be at my shooting location an hour before sunset. I sent him some of his lines and actions he has do but I'm not to worried about him learning the,. An hour, prior to shooting will get him shape.

Additionally and given the circumstances, I went ahead and started walking her through some of her lines and the thoughts I had on the camera movement and so on. She provided several tips on a couple of subject that I thought were interesting but we'll have to see how they unfold tomorrow. We had our fun and laughs, some  For now enjoy the pictures!!

 Also, I picked up a new prop (as if I didn't have enough). All jokes aside though, I think the map is perfect as its big enough to be seen and give off the adventurous vibe, without standing out too much and dragging attention away from our beloved character.

 In regards to the character's name, I came down to the decision that I want his name to be Salvador. The name is unique and will be become somewhat of a trademark for our little fellow. However, his last name is still in the works.

Also, I want to play with the lighting tomorrow as I do not want Salvador's face revealed until the very end of his "adventure" downstairs. Some lowkey lighting and planned camera movements can easily make that dream come true.

Tomorrow I will be posting a couples of videos/articles relating to lighting techniques and camera movements to create the shots I want. So stay tuned and be ready for the first official SHOOTING DAY!!!!See you guys.
