Storyboarding. ABOUT TIME

Just starting on my overly ambitious storyboard, should be fun. Been putting it off because I want the script to be fairly final. But enough is enough, since the first shoot day is next week.

A bit off topic, but I just listened to a brilliant podcast will the the unbelievably great Willy Pfister, In my opinion the best D.O.P. out there, period. Some great insights to him and Mr Nolan's shooting/visual philosophy, and that there should be little grading because the negatives, or in my case, rushes should look like the release print, or in this case the final edit, colour-wise , at least. He made a lot fo great points about how the digital intermediates allows for too much falling back on post for grading. Obviously I don't have the luxury of putting up a million and one lights, or a 20k light with a color temperature filter, but it is probably the better philosophy to have. But until I have multi million pound/dollar budgets to deal with, I'm going to stick to filming fairly neutral and colouring to death.
