Hi Guys,
Here's the secret formula to creating a successful video:
THE MORE TIME YOU SPEND PLANNING BEFORE YOU SHOOT, THE BETTER THE VIDEO WILL BE!!!
Example: The more time you put into your script, the more awesome it will be.
Another thing is "BE PREPARED TO SOLVE A HUNDRED PROBLEMS!" You have to get into that mindset, a hundred things are going to go wrong. Knowing that, when a problem arises your ready to act and solve it. Here's a few things that have gone wrong in the last week for preproduction on SPELLFURY (A lord of the Ringish/Harry potterish type show): The lead actor who plays TAREK the THIEF in Episode One of the show had to drop out, he couldn't get off work. When that happens, DON'T GET UPSET...ACT!! I e-mailed a pile of actors I knew and got someone else. I then find out today that THAT actor had to cancel on the shoot.
The natural reaction is to freak out (The shoot is less than a week away), but the best thing is to use those feelings to SOLVE THE PROBLEM, so I've spent the day racking my brain and e-mailing actors I know trying to find someone. Worse case scenario I'll bloody well play the character, the SHOW MUST GO ON!!!
Well, that's it for now,
Peace,
Travis
