Scott Marshall - Update

Well it has been over a month since I last posted on here, my apologies for the slackness. It's amazing how a bout of flu can derail plans to work.

Luckily in my absence my group has been plowing through and getting things sorted, and it looks like the film is coming together nicely. Its an ambitious piece, but judging from the progress so far it looks like turning out as a good piece.

One of my few concerns about the piece has already been addressed, and that was the length of the script. For my last project we planned a highly ambitious piece and after filming and editing realised we had far far too much footage and story, and we were forced to edit it down to 5 minutes and present an inferior version.

The original script was 18 pages long, but a lot of it has been cut and we now have a more manageable script, although we will still have to be careful about making sure our story fits into the 10 minute parameter. Perhaps a run through of the script in real time may be beneficial.

In a kind of backhanded compliment, I would like to complain that the rest of the group is far too thorough in their posts. Leave something for me to write about!

I joke of course.
