Okay so after the debacle that was TOUCH DOWN BAY (last post) I was ready to pack up on a filmmaking career BUT after a while I thought to myself ''Chin up, Ram' Make another film and shoot it on your own without any other voices in the mix and see if you got The Right Stuff!''
So I wrote a super-short mini movie called 'Saturday Night Superhero' - a 90 second Rom/Com .
So I wrote a super-short mini movie called 'Saturday Night Superhero' - a 90 second Rom/Com .
The premise was: A fashion disaster brings two unlikely people together.
So I dreamt up the idea of this guy who goes to a club thinking it's Superhero Club Night but it's not and he gets turned away. At the bus stop he hears a SCREAM for help and he chases a Hoody Theif, hilarity and romance then ensue.
The script was just 2 pages long and I found it not tough at all to make the whole action and dialogue fit under the strict duration time.
The storyboard came easy too. I set it arounf the Covent Garden/Charring Cross area - which I know quite well - and I drew as I remembered it.
I don't think I was thinking too much about arty framing but I was keen on using a super fast succession of shots to keep the viewers gripped visually.
After that was done it was time for finding actors.
I remembered this actress that I was going to use for the first movie but couldn't because of scheduling and decided to email her and ask if she had a guy pal who was also an actor and wouldn't mind being in the film. She had a really cool fellow in mind and he was great in the part with his ideas and took direction wonderfully.
The shoot went great and I was practically skipping home I was so chuffed.
I just hope the shots came out alright because I shot them using my viewfinder instead of using a monitor to frame the shots.
FINGERS CROSSED!!!!!!!!
XOXO
