The pitch went well in the delivery of the story. And that was pretty much it. I knew what I wanted to use and how I wanted to use it but I had no guarantee I would be using it.
Normally I'm good at presenting stuff to for lack of a better term clients because in order to overcome my nerves I devoted a chunk of my studies to relaxing and conducting myself properly during a talk or presentation. I know how to make and maintain eye contact, how to emphasise key details and how to counter arguments against the pitched entity. But for some reason this just didn't work out here. Maybe it's because I'm good at creating and selling ideas but making them exist is something I've never done before. I guess it's a life lesson at the very least.
But that's a little harder when you're working off what could happen not what is going to happen.
Since then things have looked up. I have an actor Patrick Conway who's been very helpful even offering suggestions for how to advertise my search for actors until I decided he was the guy for the role. I have a producer who has proven herself through and through and I have a cameraman who I have total faith in to be there when needed.
Things are looking up. I'll just say this though. If I can get through this I can get through anything.
These location shots serve well enough for now. But it's better being in the room itself. There's just a sort of atmosphere to it. The minute I walked into it I thought to myself "this is what I want" the grey floor, the dull walls, the empty space and the lack of air all just sort of say "SCP building" to me.
The halls work. My main concern is that colour. Thankfully it's a darkly lit film and I'm sure the cameraman can work around it.
