KG Update August 19

 I made a production purchase tonight, thanks to a couple of donors. I don't want to say what that purchase is (though the donors know) because I want that particular segment of the film to be a surprise. Presently working my way back to the shot list. Real life got in the way for about ten days but I can start the storyboards this weekend. It's likely that I'll share some of the pre-production art here as I get deeper into it, but nothing that will give too much away, of course. Not much to show right now.

Kaleidoscope Grimoire Update

 So here we go.

It's almost midnight. I've been chatting with the musician whom I want to do the score and we're sculpting out how to make it happen. I'm sharing examples of what I'm looking for, he's going through his catalogue and sending me samples. We have plenty of time because I won't need the music until Spring '22.

Tomorrow I'll run to the office supply store and get a couple packages of index cards so I can begin the storyboarding. It's looking like October, tentatively, for shooting 'studio' principal with my actors. If I can do location stuff in the same month, great. But that can be more easily scheduled and accomplished than the studio stuff because my studio is my home and I'll be commandeering one entire living area for multiple scenes on multiple sets. That takes coordination because I want to not have a set standing during the holidays. Anyway, these are the kinds of things I want to deal with because it means I'm making a movie.

Look for production glimpses starting in October as I construct sets and pull costumes together and do makeup tests with the actors, of which I need to cast four more. I already have three.
