Recipe for Creative Vision in 48 Hours

8 hours of script writing via email with an hour at eat n' park for dinner where we missed each other (producer and writer). We were each at the wrong eat n' park.

12 hours of shooting at locations

2 dedicated families (feeding the cast and crew)

2 hand-held mini digital cameras (with underwater shots included -- stroke of brilliance on the cinematographers part)

1 mic, no lighting except natural

Throngs of people not in the shot, but making noise enough to be in the shot.

1 composer, writing an entire score in an evening, beautiful and ethereal

15 actors - learning lines in seconds and trying not to crack up during takes

1 cinematographer with a an eye for beauty

4 directors/camera operators, making sure we followed the story -- well pretty close

12 hours of editing, -- with the occasional glitch in the system (save, save, save).

48 hours of little or no sleep, but all seriously fun.
