Hi, this is Mel Caneja and this is officially Jabuticaba’s, or JabutiCrew’s as we like to call it, first blog post! We are very excited about film this year and even more excited about our crew. Marc Sheehan and myself are super pumped to direct this year, especially with Tyler Barry as assistant director, Shannon Baker as art director, and Steph Lund as editor. Marc and I expect to have a great film this year especially because of the dedicated, talented crew we have.
In regards to our progress so far, we are well underway with pre-production. We have had our script meeting with Alan, which went great and has allowed us to finalize the script. We’ve also finished the vision, all our shot lists and storyboards, and Shannon has done a great amount of art direction work, especially with the prop lists and mood maps. AND, we’ve decided wardrobe for all major characters, so now we can start searching for the key elements to each outfit.
These past couple days have been awesome for set, too, because we’ve figured out where we are filming all our major scenes, which is HUGE (not that I can reveal anything about them).
This Saturday we are having our first crew hangout (naturally a movie night) where we’ll watch…a movie. However, this won’t only be a movie night. We also intend to digital story board 2 of our scenes; so basically it will be a pretty successful night.
Welp, that’s Jabuticaba for you, we’re pretty much the most efficient crew since we’re essentially DONE with pre-production, so yeah. We’ll update soon. *****SEND OFF IN PROGRESS****
