Postproduction – Editing (Chapter 2)

Roughly 2 months ago, we wrapped production on Other Versions of You (for those of you keeping score at home). And now here we are, about to round the board again and hit a new year. What does 2017 look like for Other Versions of You? Great question. I have no idea. Well, I have …

Postproduction – Editing (Chapter 1)

Around 4 weeks ago, we finished production of Other Versions of You. I feel like so much time has passed since that late Friday evening when we rolled our last shot of the film, which wasn't actually the last shot of the film, but I digress. As of right now, we have approximately 10 scenes …

After Production

Almost a week has passed since we wrapped production on Other Versions of You. I feel like so much and yet nothing has happened since then. Both are true in odd ways. On Sunday, October 30, Halloween Eve, we had a wrap party. That was a lot of fun. We drank beverages. We ate snacks. …

Production Day 18 – Final Day

On Day 18, we found ourselves at the last day of shooting the film Other Versions of You. There we were, staring at the end, wondering what was next. The day started with a lunch meeting with the producers. We spoke of so many things: How production has gone up to this final day of …

Production Day 17

The second to last day of production is complete. We stayed ahead of schedule most of the day, cut something we were planning on shooting (which was a good move), and even wrapped a bit early. With only one day left, I write this with a somewhat heavy heart. This has been an unforgettable experience …

Production Day 16

For these last 3 days of shooting Other Versions of You, we've hunkered down (that's a phrase, right?) in a lovely house deep in the heart of East Nashville. It's a quiet street (yes!). There's plenty of free parking. It's a nice way to wrap up the production, especially after some of the madness we've encountered …

Production Day 15

The first day of the last week of production of Other Versions of You is officially in the books. I'm not sure who owns these books or where I can find them, but I'm sure they're a titillating read filled with twists and turns and adventure. Day 15 was a day of several firsts and …

Production Day 14

Any large, longterm project can often have what I like to call the "family effect," which, in the most simple terms, means everyone involved becomes part of your extended family. Those you don't work with directly all day are like distant cousins, and those you spend all your time with become brothers and sisters. In some …

Production Day 13

Making a movie has an infinite number of challenges. Here's a list just off the top of my head: Time - You never have enough time. We do our best to give our crew and actors enough time to get everything done in the best possible way, but (in my experience) you never have enough …

Production Day 12

Day 12 was filled with unicorns and werewolf kisses and the sweet smell of bacon as it lingers in your home after a particularly special breakfast. We're really moving now. We're knocking out scene after scene, and I'm trying to soak in every moment. Savor each take and set up. Day 12 introduced a new …
