This was a small intimate weekend with Jason our Steve Jasper. We were falling over with laughter every second for the most part, and I think we got some really great stuff. We even got some good impromptu moments that don't quite fit in the film, but they'll be hilarious moments on the DVD. Thanks to Alex and Melissa for taking some of the behind the scenes footage. Enjoy!
Day two was much smaller, but still just as successful. We shot the interview scene with our lovely hippies Paul and Samantha. We really got in a good groove and mood at the BIKO CO-Op. The scene changed a little in its delivery but captured the spirit of it even better. We also shot the PSA on the fly with our actors and some random cleaners on the beach. Albeit a shorter day than the first it was good times all around and now I have a really good idea for a soundtrack to this film. Details coming soon.
Here is another short video about the 2nd day. Enjoy!
Today's shoot went splendidly, fantastically. We shot our one-man-as-two-men debate, and the final scene with ALL of our principal actors and everything went so smoothly. Everyone was at the top of their game today and everyone was so gracious and giving, actors and crew. I think we got one of our hardest shoots out of the way and I am so happy about it.
From now on I'm going to be putting up quick clips of behind the scenes footage from the rest of our shoot. ENJOY!
Tomorrow will be our 5th weekend of production for Chimes of Gaviota or: I've Got The Real Estate Blues. We will be shooting the end scene funnily enough. We will also shoot Tom and John's debate and the hippie's interview on Sunday. I am excited about shooting the end because unlike the rest of the script it is almost of a heightened reality or a play and I think it'll come out really different and interesting.
So after many useless days on myspace, I've decided to move my production company on blogspot where there will be more active updates my creative work as a filmmaker. The production company was Existential Productions, but I feel that the name is too similar and too easily mistaken for my music project. Also, the term "productions" felt too limiting and the term "existential" ended up limiting me(based on viewers perceptions). So here we are with CHAOS, CLOCKS AND WATERMELONS MEDIA. There will be an update soon on the film I wrote and am currently doing cinematography on, Chimes Of Gaviota or: I've Got The Real Estate Blues.
But without further ado I present a video of the new logo (with a cover of the song "The Ballad of Hollis Brown" by The Stooges)!
CHAOS, CLOCKS AND WATERMELON MEDIA is the production company of filmmaker/musician/writer and all around artist Steven Ray Morris. Everything made under this banner will be unique, fun and most importantly thought-provoking, stirring your insides until you feel funny and you can't stop thinking about it.
