For instance, with this real-time playback storyboard I&#8217;ve been creating entering its third week of development I&#8217;ve been getting a little impatient; begun second guessing myself&#8230; But then I remembered that Past-Tyler wouldn&#8217;t set me up to waste my time; that there must be a reason I&#8217;m spending so much pre-production on this storyboard when in all likelyhood I&#8217;ll just be making a lot of it up as I go when it comes down to shooting. Then my brain reminded me what I was up to:<\/p>\n<p>See I&#8217;m illustrating storyboard frames and then lining them up in Final Cut Express to give me a real-time playback of the movie I plan on shooting. The reason I decided I needed a real-time playback version of a storyboard instead of a binder of static images is because of the <em>music<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>See <em>The Great Big Emptiness<\/em> (I am so going to change that title) has a large musical component. Not <em>Sound of Music<\/em> &#8220;musical&#8221; but musical in the sense that music will be playing a more prominent role in the movie than simply being relegated to the score. Music will actually be performed by the performers&#8230; Which raised a lot of questions in my mind about recording, editing and timing. So I decided that a playback storyboard would be helpful in figuring out a lot of that stuff before shooting. Since we (Vidya Lutchman &#8211; musician and the movie&#8217;s lead actress) need to write music that will be specific to scenes before we&#8217;ve actually shot the scenes &#8211; music in fact that will have to be performed before the camera as well as carry over other scenes like a score would &#8211; the more we know about how those scenes are going to flow the better.<\/p>\n<p>Confused?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, my head hurts. But I just have to trust in whaterver moment of clarity Past-Tyler was experiencing when he send me on this errand. It&#8217;s good to have plan. I can&#8217;t stress that enough. A plan is like creating a reflex in your mind; so later when you&#8217;re in the middle of chaos you don&#8217;t have to think, you can just react.<\/p>\n<p>T<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love my brain, we&#8217;ve got a great relationship (purely platonic), because the older I get and the more I develope my production methods, the more Present-Tyler can rely on the fact that Past-Tyler&#8217;s decisions won&#8217;t upset Future-Tyler.
