About a hundred dozen or so phone calls later, we sorted out all our rentals, camera gear, equipment pickup, rental van, and so on. I'm a little terrified about how big our phone bills are going to be this month. I'd rather not think about it.
Our locations are locked, we've got the gear we need, and now the only thing we're missing are a few crew members and we'll be ready to roll. Eight days from now we'll have a shiny eight minute movie in our hands, and I couldn't be happier.
It's interesting to see that we (or anyone, really) can make a quality film in a very short amount of time if they really push for it. We did countless short films back at school, and granted the production values were arguably higher than what we're doing here, but we would spend months on these, not mere days.
It's the people, not the time or the gadgets that make something worth watching. And I have to say, without a doubt, that I'm working with the most talented crew I've ever come across. I can't wait to see what we can all do.
Tomorrow, final preparations, and a camera test with the smoke machine that can fog up a football field in 60 seconds.
Should be fun. *wink*
P.S. Shameless plug, but don't forget to get your tickets for the Crazy 8s screening on April 26th! 15 bucks at Biz Books, 20 online or 25 at the door. Come for the pi, stay for the pie!
P.P.S I have no idea if they actually will have pie there. I think they should, but that's just me.

March 14th (3/14) is National Pi Day, as officially designated by the US congress this year. Traditional festivities are to study the mathematical constant pi in school (which took place yesterday since 3/14 fell on Saturday this year), bake and eat a pie, and sing Pi Day Carols.
