Getting Ahead of Myself...

Wow... I have got to slow down. Or just stick to the schedule of things that I want to happen in order for this to succeed.

What I have done is found myself perusing various websites to find out how much a camera, lighting, etc. is going to cost me. And I find myself dreaming of these cameras that are way out of my budget.

But I don't even have the script finished! So what the hell am I doing? I need to get back on track and figure out the camera stuff later. It's not something that's going to help me now.

I even found myself justifying the Canon XL2 and it's hefty price because I could use it to film my sister's wedding in June. HOW RIDICULOUS IS THAT?! Then I realized it was probably a bit more than I would need and found myself falling in love with the Panasonic AG-DVX100B. Which I think is used to shoot the excellent FX tv show: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

But I have to stop the madness!

So I'm determined to put those camera ideas away so that I may stay on the projected course of completing the second draft by November 1st.

But the Canon is just so pretty!

Finishing the script is definitely the first step. But it's nice to dream now and then. Don't lose that ability to think about what's to come (in this case, making your own film). It shows you have a plan.
