• The Drama of Film Making…

      1 comment

    What an exhausting first week on the set of the feature film: “At the Top of the Pyramid”. Learning a lot about the business of making a feature film. So many departments, each with a specific function. The Video Village function is truly the nerve center for critical viewing of each composition, framing and lighting of what is going on the set.  Where scene to scene decisions are made.  Makes for interesting quality time with the executive staff… ;-)

    Who says drama has to only be IN the film… “You have to be there to know what the heck am talking about…”

    The old adage applies here as well: The sum is greater than its individual parts.

    With problems to solve everyday, I am glad the team is trying its best to stay focused and deliver the goods… The imagery is beautiful and I hope to be invited to see the final result. ;-)

    PS: We’ve got three members of the DCFCPUG on crew… If you got the skills, bring it…


    Here’s to another good week of film making!
    We will overcome and succeed! Team Pyramid rocks!
