Spokane Rapture

Wow.

Great weekend. Huge compliments to the organizers of the Rapture, the bands who played Saturday, and everyone who turned out for the events.

From the “Let’s Make a Movie” perspective, it went really, really well from the first location production meeting Friday morning at the Satellite to the last location production meeting Sunday night at the mouth of Josie’s Grandma’s attic. Some of the stuff we planned to try out worked perfectly, some worked imperfectly, and some was a total bust. Stuff we didn’t plan happened and turned out great. Anyone who’s ever plunged into a creative project knows that feeling, I’m sure.

It’s going to be a bit slow for the next couple weeks as a few of us take some planned slack time. Then we’ll be back into it full swing. Off the top of my head, I don’t know how many hours of footage we have, but it’s an enormous amount and we’re going to still be collecting for quite a while. Logging what we’ve got is a huge task that we’ll be starting in on very soon. Without it, editing would be impossible, and getting this story told is going to be all about the editing.

Man. What a weekend. Spokane done good.
