Just a couple of things to chat through so you know where my head is at when it comes to decisions that affect the more nitty-gritty production elements:
- My intention with the 5-shot approach is to give you maximum flexibility and time when it comes to character designs in post. With this in mind, we’re only using one shot (Shot 3) for the hero 15 and all of the cutdowns — just arranging the characters differently in each version to hit the specific lines needed, without having to re-track or matte Joel for every new shot.
- I want to be in constant dialogue with our post team to make sure we’re always in sync with their needs, reducing any annoying technical hurdles so they can spend all their time making these characters shine.
- I love that casting is already sorted — it gives me more time to focus on finding the perfect location and working with you all to punch up the physical comedy of our three characters. Know that I’m ready to get to work jamming on all that stuff right away.
‘cause after all...
