“Tex” Production Diary – Day One

day1

And so it begins.

Today was the first day of shooting on our epic vampire western short film. What to say? Filmmaking is always a compromise. Even the best planning and effort put forth by the crew can be stymied by uncooperative weather. It was just too damn dark under the trees under the clouds. Sure, we were shooting day-for-night, but even so it might come out way underexposed. We’ll find out next week…. ah, film.

Some good stuff:

  • I’m pretty sure the silhouette shots against the sunset are going to look awesome.
  • Rodrigo looks good in his costume.
  • The horse looks good because it’s a horse.

    I love it when horses cooperate and look like horses! :)
