Cottonmouth Creek is in Production!
I'm a chillin' by the bayou...
Well I made it! I'm finally here in Shreveport, Louisiana for the duration of the film CottonMouth Creek. It feels like I've been preparing for this film for a long time now, I'm just glad that I am here and that production is in full swing. Tomorrow we will pick up our moving truck that we will use to move our equipment from location to location. One of my responsibilities, other that being the camera operator, is now driving the truck everywhere. I left my car at home (which was pretty smashed up after a wreck I was in Saturday evening, not my fault) and was planning to bum a ride around town. Now I'm definitely going to be super busy, because I have to stick around everyday until the production is over and then I have to be the first one awake and at the set every morning. This really isn't a bad thing, it just means I will be working very long hours. Needless to say I'm not going to be going out much, if at all. 2 weeks of 12 hour days is going to make Patrick a tired boy. After the truck is loaded up with our equipment and organized we are going to spend some time shooting some material to get comfortable using the equipment and so everyone understands how things are going to work.
In the mean time keep checking back here, I'll keep posting video on here as it becomes available. I am going to be a busy bee, but I'll let you know how it goes. Check out this video below that I put together from our location scouting a few weeks back. It has our creature in costume, some script runthroughs, the locations that we are shooting at and a few of the people that make up our crew...
As for right now, I'm probably gonna get some shut eye. I stayed up really late last night shooting video for a quick little promo I was going to try and edit tonight. But thanks to my hectic squedule, I accidently left that work at home. I'm kicking myself right now, literaly and figuratively. Figures, the one thing I worked on until 4 in the morning shooting and editing gets left on my bed. Basically I saw an article online referencing an amazing job. So I gave it a look and thought what the hey. I'll make a quick video. So I shot it and left it at home. Oh well!
