Scouting and Pre-Production
- Dez Vylenz
Haven’t updated the weblog for a while, have been loaded with work in London, then on the move for the last 3 weeks, scouting locations in Suriname at the moment, both jungle and urban, while organizing logistics, security etc. for the next feature film project. Only occasionally access to an internet work station and little time to sit down and write, except business emails.
Been writing a great number of ideas down since 2003, but had to put them in the freezer while the business structures and mercenary jobs took up most of my time. Now everything is much more chrystalized and the overall style and vision are crisp clear, so the script is evolving rapidly.
Am putting together a really great crew, brilliant music composers and so on. Very inspiring to work with people who are top in their field.
Several meetings as well with local companies for corporate films and commercials and another documentary project. But I’m hungry as hell now to shoot the planned fiction feature (part 2 of the Shamanautical Series).
Will write more about it when things have materialized a bit more. Only one week to go before I’m back in Europe, so am making the most of my time here in wild open tropical space. Gotta go.
