Hard times in the world of production

After 3 agonizing shoots, Finding Emo's production is finally complete.

The first shoot went incredibly well, in fact a little too well... We managed to shoot the entire piece in one night, Sunday, October 19th. The acting was exceptional, the lighting was good, and the entire production went incredibly smoothly. But unfortunately when we entered the editing lab we soon realized we had a major problem on our hands. The camera we had been using had a dirty head on it, all the footage we had captured that night became completely useless to us because the video quality looked like that of a web camera.

So the following Tuesday we returned to the bar for re-shoots, but once again we ran into a problem. Through scheduling conflicts we were obligated to only shooting the final exterior scene. And once again, when we returned to the editing lab we realized that the moon was not out that night, aiding us with light like it had on the previous shoot. All the footage was just too dark to work with.

So finally on Wednesday, October 29th we returned yet again for a re-shoot. The third time was definitely a charm for us, though a little rocky at the start of the production we managed to shoot the entire piece that night, aided in part by our three experienced crew members.
So now our production is finished and all we have left to do is complete the post-production process, lets keep our fingers crossed.
