Here is the way major films are made, after an extensive writing as well as production phase, it’s time to film, or “shoot” as my buddy and I call it! First comes location shooting, which is when the actors as well as the whole crew go out to a real site to film scenes, and once that is wrapped, it’s time for studio shooting, but this is just what you feel it is, filming everything else my buddy and I need inside a controlled studio environment.
Once that is done the editor (in this case, me) assembles the film, as well as then comes the “pick-up shots” to fill in any gaps! If you feel making films is easy, you are way off base! We have been shooting this wacky weed comedy in Denver for two weeks already, with no end in sight.
This isn’t a complaint about the city at all, because Denver has been welcoming to our production team. The people of Denver are very chill, as well as most of them seem interested in our project, but some cities don’t like when outsiders come in to make films or TV shows, however Denver can’t get enough of the glitz as well as glamor! The whole reason my buddy and I are shooting in Denver is because the film has been underwritten as well as produced by a consortium of local cannabis dispensaries. They want to highlight the cannabis industry in Denver as well as bring a national focus to it, as well as they thought releasing a film would be a creative way to do that. As much as I am enjoying my time in Denver, I want to wrap production on this film so I can go back home!
