I find @kong idea´s of offering a T-Shirt on Kickstarter nice too; we are here to put ideas together and pick out the best (brain storming). Back on tracking, if we make it this way, it has to be made in other way, because it´s not possible to recreate the folds of a cloth, if it stay straight over there will look stupid IMO. I´m sure you all have see some examples in other films, the write (or balloon or whatever) follows the character but outside him.

Sorry guys I'm going on vacation the next two weeks, cya afterwards.

@Vitaliy_Kiselev Ok sir, I will try to make better sentences.

@thepalalias All these are already there in that wiki page i believe. i didn't mentioned anything new yar. Most of our members are elder than me and off course they are experienced hands.

One More Advice, Personal one, but, essential for every dslr Cinematographers.

Photography is the best way to learn professional Cinematography.

Always take a shot with Photographic Golden Rule "The Traingle". Shoot your film after mastering the Triangle of Exposure. use this Triangle formula in every shot.

Following this triangle is the best way to get perfect exposure. Light is everything. If light is not perfect nothing is gonna be.

@atticusd I see, so it's a story about man vs self (or his imaginary friend) that lead to self-discovery?

It's a great idea about the blog. I can make a simple website with accounts logins for those involve with the project can post content to it. I looked up the domain stowawaymovie.com but it's already taken. stowawayfilm.com is available though.

On the other hand, what do you guys think about setting up a decent production blog?

I really hope that it'll be personal view collaboration project.

Not longest ever stall ending in never updated blog.

Here is my suggestion.

• A blog is great, but let us have the people not currently active in the production process focus on it. @AtticusD needs to make himself available to each unit for script questions like those above, so he should not be splitting his focus at the moment on the blog, too.

• @Kong and @Kihlian, if you guys do not think you will be working until we get to post-production on the prologue, then I would love to see you cooperate on the blog. The key would be regularity and finding down time in the schedules of other members to get their comments, but you would have the responsibility for the look and updates or to find someone else to handle that. Would you be interested in that? Also, the URL mentioned sounds good to me.

• By Tuesday everyone that wants to weigh in on the script should have had a chance to and @AtticusD and I will be finishing up our last round of edits. Which means we will need a producer for each unit to oversee the director and make sure they are getting what they need and to communicate that back to the executive producer and the group.

• We need to have someone handling continuity on each team. This will be very important.

• We need to know which mic(s) each team will be using.

• I would like to nominate myself as Executive Producer, because looking back on the project since November, I am realizing that it seems to be fitting some of what I am doing. Does that work for others?

So, my suggestion is: - Tuesday: Finalize what regions will be shooting and nominate members as well as ask them to nominate themselves. - Friday: Finalize team leaders for each group. Get a list of the mics each team plans to use. - Following Monday: Each team should submit a plan of action for shooting (in terms of approach and timeline, in very general terms OR a list of things required. That Weds: Larger group should help to provide assets the team leader requires or submit that some of it cannot be provided at this time. Team leaders or directors beging casting and shooting.

Note: Once regions are finalized, start thinking about casting right away.

So that is my suggested plan for the next week and half. That means we should be shooting in early to mid August and in post by the end of August or early September.

Does that timeline work for everyone?

@Vitiliy_Kiselev Not sure I understand the upset. (EDIT: I get it now.) I think scaling down may make sense. What did you have in mind?

Also, I think we all agreed this should be a Personal-View project. That means that any URLs would have to forward to the appropriate place on this site. The project was inspired by, given birth to and thus far nurtured on this site so I see no reason to get a new host to go along with the additional URL. Just another way for people to get to that part of this site quickly.

VK, if you have time this weekend to add the Stowaway blog to the site, I think it would be great for people to be able to look at that instead of our discussion thread when they want to learn more about the movie. :)

What does everyone think about starting post by the end of August? Do we want a more or less aggressive timeline?

OK. Just boring at home..

@Kihlian

Don't think it is good, really.

@AtticusD Waiting on the blog, for sure - and thanks.

@Kihlian Thanks for sharing it, though! I think that when people see artwork that "does not do it" for them, it helps them to think about why and what would. Brainstorming/playing around like this is helpful at this stage, especially while people are waiting to get started.

@all Logistics question: I have some concerns about how expensive it will be to film in a bookstore here in L.A. While I continue to investigate that with @RSanzadez (we both thought of Vromans off the bat) I would like to know if other people have good bookstore locations available for filming? There is not a lot of reason why that scene has to be in Hollywood, that is just where it was originally concieved. Maybe someone else, like @B3Guy can look for a location near them and we will use the location we can get first to start shooting as soon as possible.

@RRRR Are you interested in filming the Swedish forest scene? Do you have time to do so soon?

@Driftwood I know you have a ton on your plate so I am almost reluctant to ask but, would you be interested in taking the lead on the Holly, Peter/Mark and Randall scenes (apartment and pub)? It would be great to shoot these in the U.K

Anyone else: If you are dying to jump in and shoot some of the scenes for the Prologue, speak up now before they get taken by someone else. :)

@RRRR I know what you mean. Of course I can give you some subtext so you can better motivate the actors, etc. I'll go back to that Swedish forest for a while tomorrow morning and report back.

@RRRR Great, just let us know what you need when you figure out your resources. @AtticusD Can fill in the subtext (and you can shoot more if it helps your actors get in the feel) but the few shots here are all that will appear in the Prologue, and the content of the full feature is VERY subject to change since the script has not been finished yet. :)

Thanks for being willing to take this on if your resources allow. I know it is a lot of work but the people that shoot these first scenes are really blazing a trail that I think will affect the online film community later on, much more than we can see at the moment. Feel free to prove me right. :)
