Some stuff

I just finished a scene last night. It came out pretty good in my opinion. This was one of those extra scenes added on after shooting began. There have been a few of these additions made to the movie, as I felt we needed more explanation, story progression and character development.

The initial script I literally threw together in under a week. While it is full of jokes and funny scenarios, it was missing some things. I didn't have time for a rewrite because we wanted to jump right into shooting, therefore some things could be improved on. So, as we've gone along I've come up with additions and changes to make things more complete, and I think some of the newer stuff is even better than what's in the original script.

So a word of advice from the experiences I've had so far. DO NOT rush into shooting your movie. As excited, motivated, and as ready as we were to start and finish in two months, quality is taken away when you rush, and unless you have a legitimate budget and cast and a shooting schedule, be prepared to be dissapointed when the movie winds up taking much longer to finish than your initial timeframe.

For the fun of it, here's another screen cap from the movie, so you can see a few lab workers hard at work making batches of white heat.
