Sorry guys,
I feel like I've let the movie down this last month. Filming has proven to be considerably more difficult than I originally thought. All the test filming went smoothly but now that the camera is actually rolling I'm learning why the #1 rule to film making is never work with animals or kids.
To be fair to Thomas, I haven't started filming his parts yet. I've basically been focusing on the star of the movie, Max. He is proving to be quite reluctant in front of the camera. He doesn't like wearing his costume and he pretty much lays down the whole time he has it on. That's a little difficult to work with since his character is a self centered, loud mouthed speedster!
So, as of today, I'm starting a new approach. I'm going to start filming Power Dog's shots, then Thomas, then Willow (she doesn't wear a costume so she's pretty easy to work with) and then Max. At this point, I'm hoping the others will be easier to film. If they're not, then I don't know if this movie will ever get made.
So, stay tuned. I'm near my breaking point but I haven't given up! Hopefully, I'll have something to post very soon.
