We’ve been working so hard that the days are blurring together, but here are some more screen shots.

Here are a few screen grabs from Day one of shooting on THE SPIDER BABIES. These haven’t been color corrected or anything yet, just compressed for web. Most of the shooting this week consists of interior scenes set in the R.V. It’s an incredibly tight space and it’s almost impossible to actually get what is storyboarded, but we are improvising and it’s coming together pretty well. The camera crew is amazing. Here are some screen shots of Adriene Mishler, Sarah Rodgers and Jesse Ferraro from Day 1. More to come.

Production of THE SPIDER BABIES is now in full-swing. We’ve shot for two days and the whole team is starting to get in sync and pick up speed. The first day was pretty rough. After losing our warehouse last week, we had to completely regroup. We ended up reworking the schedule and starting out with a few days of R.V. interiors. The R.V. ended up in the backyard of Sexy Picnic surrounded by lights and shiny boards. The camera crew and cast crammed into the tiny space and started to roll. Given all the problems of last week, we are making pretty good progress, but we need to go faster… always faster…

My favorite thing about making movies is the collaborative nature of filmmaking. After finally getting all of the cast and crew in one place, my stress level has decreased dramatically. We have put together an amazing cast and crew for this project. I’m particularly excited about the design of the world. From the characters to the costumes to the production design, there is great stuff to look at everywhere in the movie and all the elements add up to create a really interesting world.

In a few hours we start the first of several days of overnight shoots. I am mentally preparing myself for the upcoming nocturnal lifestyle.
