Our set producer's flying in tonight from LA, and we have a location scout tomorrow -- hopefully the close-to-final scout. We have the basic areas identified; need to specify now. Gotta get that schedule locked down. Just over a month away from principal photography on Dismal.
So we get to spend the day in the swamp. Did I tell you about the last day I spent in the swamp? Couple weekends ago my wife and I took our son for a bike ride there.
And had to stop for a bear.
Not a beer.
A BEAR.
Pretty good sized black bear, about four feet at the shoulder I'd guess, standing in the middle of the path we were on.
That's the kind of thing we need to get on film. (Jeff tells me there's talk of jaguars out there, too.)
When we're out with the full crew, of course, we'll be lucky to see a squirrel. All those people stomping around, the lights, the ATVs -- likely the only wildlife we'll see will be mosquitoes. And ticks. And chiggers. Leeches. But we have a few days of second unit stuff scheduled before principal, so hopefully we'll get out wildlife inserts then.
By the way, the preliminary website is up: www.dismalthemovie.com
It’s just the first of three stages the web people are doing. This one is just the basic placeholder. The next one will have more info, more links, etc. The final one will add the flash animation and sound and music. (We have the website content sketched out, but because it's still fluid, suggestions are welcome. For example, I'm still not a big fan of the main logo and have been talking to an artist about it...)
Little by little, it’s coming together.
Ready Piglet? Let’s go see Pooh.
