I can't think of a good title for this one but guess what: Filming begins Sunday!

I've made the decision that I won't be filming at Becon for the indoor scenes. They have very specific hours that don't fit with the schedules of my friends, plus the indoor scenes, which I hope to maybe do this Saturday or Sunday, will probably be done late into the evening or night, which Becon won't allow. My new plan is that I'll do it at my dad's house. It's got these maroon red walls and looks like it's been frozen in time in the 70s despite being built in the 2000s, which fits the visual aesthetic I'm going for.

As of now it looks like we'll be filming the outdoor scenes (Treetops Park) on Sunday. I'm crossing my fingers that this date stays because I really need to get footage shot. We'll probably be at Treetops all afternoon because I want it all done in one day. They close at 6pm and I think if we start at 2pm or 3pm we should be good to film the 6 pages that encompass those scenes. I'm going to make a shot list so I'm prepared when we get there. I'm going to try to make this film have as little cuts as possible and do as much as I can in long takes simply because it will mean less time filming with having to reposition the camera and also less work in editing.

As we prepare to shoot, I'm making sure that everyone has their costume elements. As of now it looks like everyone does because I made sure that all of these outfits can be made from everyday objects. Here's the list I made: 

Costumes:

Astroknight (color scheme: blue)

  • Blue cape

  • Overall blue color scheme

  • Logo, design, or emblem on the shirt (maybe a medallion)

  • Belt (maybe the logo is on the belt)

  • Gloves

  • Civilian outfit that matches the color scheme


Cryptid Kid (color scheme: green)

  • Denim vest

  • Steampunk type goggles

  • Green shirt

  • Cryptid pins and patches

  • Fingerless gloves

  • Civilian outfit that matches the color scheme


Showstopper (colorful scheme: red)

  • Patterned gloves

  • Red shirt

  • Domino mask and/or headband or crown-like headpiece

  • Black pants (maybe a belt)

  • Civilian outfit that matches the color scheme


Toy Master

  • Suit (maybe with a pattern or colors)

  • Colorful tie or hat


Blackout

  • Black cloak

  • Jewelry

  • Gloves (either black or red)

  • Possibly makeup around the eyes


Agent Siegel

  • Formal Suit


I talked about this list with the cast, and most of the things here we already have. Here are some images:





I'm super excited to begin filming, and I really hope that I can have at least most of the shooting done before Spring break begins in a little over a week.
