self-evident, but surprisingly(or not), I didn't start out making lists, or even storyboards...it took about two years to get on board(yeah-yeah), with that one. I kept things simple, and in turn, made it more complicated. Now I do stick figure storyboards...Shot list, and a wardrobe/prop list. We re-shot the cemetery scene a year later(cast was gracious) (Matthew Hughes as DP), and by that-this point, at least we had a shooting diagram....No storyboard, but an additional loosely composed shot list...we deviated, but that's the point...you keep it loose, because you can.....save your brain for ideas, not remembering....

List for Cemetery Scene
I don't make lists much(if at all) in my every day life, I guess I just don't care if I forget to pick up laundry detergent...But in "film-making", I can't afford(pun intent) to not...this seems

BTW
if you look to the right with cast pics, you can note/notice, that "Leroy"'s, middle name
is Aleister, that's just for you, dear readers, I think actually making THAT reference* in the series,
would be lame(not very subtle in my book), but in HTMLand...why not?...However, I do have every intent on mentioning Jack Parsons
at some point...
* FYI. Aleister Crowley

screenshots@cemetery aka RoseHill can fuckoff...
we got kicked out...which is fine, considering we didn't have permission,COMPLETELY understandable, HOWEVER, the reason given "we have to respect the families and their kin buried here", again COMPLETELY understandable...HOWEVER, if that is the case, then why the fuck did "BackDraft" get to shoot here(amongst other films)...YES, I'm cranky as all hell this Morn...
P.S. it really wasn't a big deal, getting kicked out, I didn't give it any thought until, I started writing this entry...long story short, I had a back up plan, assumed we would get kicked out, I figured we would shoot at a forest preserve.
well, Film God(s) were with us that day, because unbeknownst to me, there was another cemetery(a cooler one, naa!)...right next to the forest preserve....kids have a back up plan, and then pray to the film gods....
Additionally, this was shot by Matthew Hughes of Hyphenated-Pictures. The colour* screenshot is of FX man/sculptor Dan Driscoll (yep, he did make-up on himself)
* I use the british spelling because I'm an asshole.
