Finding Philup was the first movie that was ever attempted, even before we had the name A.S.A.P. Films.... It was a thought that came to me long before the computer and camcorder were even around, the computer wasn't even thought about yet. After writing the first couple scenes I never thought that it would be more then a year before we would get to the end of it. Or what we would call the end, in truth it was going to long, so we made it a cliff hanger...
The plot was short and to the point but the actual movie was more indepth, about 1.5 hours to much indepth... Each scene was writen fully during boring clases, MATH.... That might have been the first problem, I went to indepth in the scenes, making them way to long...
For the beggining script, I refrased the beggining to black hawk down, it was the refrases writing with the same song to it... Since we didn't have an editing system we filmed the computers power point presentation... It was impressivly good, considering...
Filming of Finding Philup was not that pretty, I only filmed two, at a max, scenes when people came over. That was a major mistake, doing it that way was what took the longest. Then when we got the computer and editing system I put everything that was already complete through the VCR, on the computer and redid everything... That killed me, and thats why it ended in a cliff hanger.
Finding Philup taught us the absolutes to filming, down to how to film, angles to get, actors to use, length of scenes, better plots, ect... This movie is good because it shows how much progress we made...
