We just finished production day 6, or if you prefer, our 3rd weekend of filming on Trapped. After two weekends worth of delays we finally got a substantial amount of the story completed. Between Friday and Saturday night we completed 14 pages of the screenplay, and aside from some adjustments to scenes and dialog, we have filmed about 90% of what I wanted for those 14 pages. I had to make a modification to one scene because I felt there was a major problem with the dialog... it looked good on paper, and the actors had the ability to sell it to an extent, but when you see it actually taking place and you look at the context of the rest of the film... the scene just had to be changed.
I am not worried about losing that page and a half because I made up for it in a last minute scene addition to the film. It is a dream sequence, and based on what camera angles we came up with the footage looked good via the monitors, now I just have to see how it cuts together. I have to give Kudo's to Spaghetti Industries because I came to them at 7:00am and asked for a last minute gore gag and Scott pulled it off in 45 minutes. What should have taken a week to prep, he did in an instant and the gag sold itself on camera. (I can't give it away because it is a kick ass gag)
I am working to get two of the leads together for one night, this friday, to finish up some stuff they alone are in scene wise. If we get to film it will knock out another 3-4 pages of the screenplay which will leave me with only 12 more to go at the theater, and about 36 pages left to complete the movie. As far as insert shots I will do those in my own spare time and should get most of those knocked out in a weekend or two beginning the first of the year.
You should see the short version of Trapped around the late spring of 2008 and my extended cut around the late fall of 2008. I will keep you all posted on what is happening, and also be on the lookout for the official website which is coming soon.
