We crossed the starting line at 7:00pm Friday night. We came up with three story lines and quickly narrowed it down to one. We started writing the dialogue and visualizing the scenes. We drew up a shot sheet and finalized the script by midnight. We met Saturday at 9:00am on at the Neal Smith Trail along the Des Moines River. I picked the trail - which worked out perfectly except for getting eaten alive by big ass mosquitoes. Shooting went pretty smoothly. We tweaked the shots and script a bit, but for the most part, we stuck to the plan. We wrapped filming at 4:00pm. Jeremy put in a long night of editing while the rest of us got some decent sleep. We had the film finalized by 3:00pm Sunday - well before the 7:30pm deadline.
