In 2015, I embarked on an ambitious journey, crafting seven episodes of a web show. Fast forward to 2022, I revisited and refined the script, bringing on board a skilled casting coordinator to helm the audition process. My dedication to the project saw me meticulously interviewing and selecting Directors of Photography, assembling a dynamic crew of five who were instrumental in breathing life into the show.
I took the helm in creating a detailed production schedule and a comprehensive shot list, alongside developing a compelling pitch deck to attract sponsors. My role expanded to being a diligent location scout, which involved discovering various adult toy stores and production studios, skillfully negotiating terms for time and cost.
Further driving the project’s momentum, I crafted a captivating trailer, successfully launching an IndieGoGo campaign that garnered an impressive $1,000 in support. My technical acumen was put to the test as I adeptly synced audio with video, performed color correction in DaVinci Resolve, and edited the show in Adobe Premiere, while also creating engaging motion graphics in Adobe After Effects.
The three days of filming were not just productive but immensely enjoyable, offering me the opportunity to collaborate with some of the industry’s most talented individuals. While there are elements I’d consider tweaking in hindsight, such as hiring a hair and makeup artist and a script supervisor, the entire process was a remarkable learning experience and a source of immense pride. The hard work and dedication of our team culminated in a project that I hold in high regard.
