Film Progress: A few quick tests, mistakes and rain that wont go away.

Planning the film is complete and production has begun. So to start, I decided to run some microphone tests, white balance tests and focus tests. It's a good thing that I did all of these because they were all things that if I had just started filming could have ended disastrously. 

So after an hour or two of film tests, I was confident the quality of the shots I was getting. But then it started to rain. Now I'm glad I wasn't outside filming today, but it still managed to disrupt my filming schedule by raining just loud enough to where it could be heard on my audio.  

Normally rain is cool. Not today.

  

While I could deal with that later on in post, I want to make sure that my audio has great quality because having a clean sound is just as important as having great shots. With luck, I can get a lot of filming done over these next few days to bring me back on track with my schedule.

I do recognize that I’m producing this work on a fairly short time base (a little more than two weeks) but I am very determined and I plan on working very hard during this time to produce something to the best of my abilities and hopefully everyone who watches it will agree with me!
