Director's Notes

Preparation is everything.
Scheduling will drive you nuts.
Being the director is cool. Get business cards which show how really important you are.
The Canon GL 1 seriously needs a boom mic.  You can literally hear a truck passing by along the 10 freeway in LA from my den.
Remember to feed everybody that helps.

More Notes on the concept and dialogue of the film

 The set was concept was a "perfect" restaurant to go with the idea of finding the perfect one.  In order to have a very controlled environment, it was shot in my den and the backdrop and linen clothes were borrowed ( to keep budget low) 6 hours of setting up and breaking down the set.  This is where friends are needed.   But be wary!  People tend to pick up small objects and look at them and go "oh cool" and move them changing the consistancy of the look e.g. my lighter for the candles.

Consistancy is a major faux pas.  Is the hairdo the same?  Is Sergei's tie on even though it was a blistering 90 degrees in the room?  Have my candles burned down requiring a new set?
