Location Scouting: the cart is well-before the horse.
Thursday, March 25, 2010 Being a very visual person, I tend to have to sink my teeth into more-tangible things to make sure I'm heading in the right direction. I really think this process of pre-planning and even location-scouting, helped me come-up with the general concepts of the film.
The script hasn't been finished, but tonight I drove-out to map-out potential locations to shoot. It wasn't a difficult trip; it's my home-town.
Sheridan, IN is your typical small Indiana town. We have a few restaurants and several "mom and pop" businesses. Most everything has been untouched for decades. The businesses that sprout-up quickly usually will move-into pole-barn construction, which just has a very temporary feeling. The only "strip mall" in town is this type of construction.
I love our little town, and I can't wait to help put it on the map.
In this video, you'll see Sheridan's Main street, a few parks, the American Legion (bingo hall) and a few other small businesses. As you'll see, it's a very amateur video. I drove around with my iPhone and really didn't pay-attention to what I was saying. :-) Enjoy!
Oh, and that ending? I snuck my iPhone into Dollar General Store and shot totally incognito, only to learn later I was holding it upside down. Instant. Art. Film.
