Seeing Red Prinipal Photography Begins!




Hey guys, been super busy with the "Seeing Red" shoot and wanted to update the blog here real quick. Obviously that means that we have began production on the film, and so far things have gone very well. We started shooting Wednesday May 11th and Thursday May 12th at a liquor store location here in Tampa. The third and fourth shoots were held Saturday 21st and Sunday the 22nd. I apologize for being so late to update the blog, but I have mostly been utilizing the Dark Harvest Productions Facebook Groups to keep everyone in the loop during the shoot (Be sure to add us!).

With that said, despite the many set backs we have experienced over the past couple months I feel confident that this is my best film yet. I was very nervous about the shoot after our third Director of Photography left, so I ended up picking up the role of Director of Photography as well as makeup duties on top of everything else I was doing. All in all though, despite some moments in which I felt seriously overwhelmed, I think the film will overall benefit as it allowed me to have even more control over the production and the ability to see my creative vision through. I can honestly say that despite my having to quickly learn to shoot, I can't give all the credit to myself because I had an amazing an dedicated crew this time backing me up the whole way.

Right now awe have about 95% of the film in the can, with only a handful of shots left to grab in our last shoot this Wednesday night. This film has very little in the way of post effects unlike my past films, so I expect post-production to be a relatively easy experience. My goal is to have the film edited and screened in an online premiere by the middle of July. For the latest news keep your eyes peeled here at the Dark Harvest Blog, and on our facebook groups. Until then I leave you with a couple of exclusive behind the scenes images from the shoot, to see close to a hundred more behind the scenes photos, join us on facebook!
