We had a production meeting on August 12. It was pretty casual, Herbert, Lance, Clint F. and I met to discuss several production issues, including:
Consturction of the track and dolly camera support gear
Storyboard assignments
Reference picture photo shoot
Script revisions
We even made some good headway on the track and dolly rig. We purchased some building materials, [Thanks Lance and Herb!] and I even got a chance to work on the rollers. By the time of our next meeting we should have an 8 foot length of track ready, the dolly built and some test footage shot using the new rig. I'm pretty excited to try this out. Herb is working on an independent film project, and we plan to use it for some track and dolly test shots very soon.
The script was reviewed with Clint F. and some ideas and sketches have been submitted, and are looking great. I'll wait for Clint to post his well done studies of the RFT trooper and others he is working on. Some discussion was made regarding the direction of the two sequences not yet finished, and overall some good progress was made on the script.
The smoke tint visors were used on some test shots, here is one sneek peek:
I like the more sinister look these new visors give the RFT's.
Considering this was a 'non-filming' production meeting, we had a good time, and even managed to pull a few parts, eat lots of burgers and fries, and had a great time. Maybe next time we can get more of the crew together.
BTW, some RFT pants were donated by Mark Weber, so a special 'Thank you' goes out to him for his help on the project.
Maybe in September, we can start filming some actual scenes. The Lewis Gun is almost ready to make molds, the Clone trooper helmet project is starting to take shape, and the molds for the sandtrooper backpack boxes, are slowly coming together. Thanks Tony for helping me out with these. Also, the Endor commando donut has passed the first prototype stage, and is ready for mold revisions.
Well, thats about all for now, school has started for me, and I'll be pretty busy with two jobs this Fall, I'll try to keep busy working on the project.
