Whose Movie is it Anyway? - Ours apparently

This past weekend Wax Idiotical competed in the New Hampshire 48 Hour Film Project.  After drawing comedy and receiving the required elements, we sat to write, and for the first time in 22 competitions... we were stuck.  We started and stopped five different scripts that just didn't feel right.  So we decided to try something different... something very different.  Throwing caution to the wind, we came up with 3 characters, a few moments... and went to sleep.

Saturday came, and we gathered where we would be filming and set up what proved to be our most elaborate technical set up.  Three different cameras, and two audio recorders to capture Mark, Kyp and Victoria all at the same time.  With no real script it was up to the three actors to make up the flow of the dialogue and hope that something funny would come out of it.  It was definitely a challenging experience but it was something that we had wanted to try for a while now.  While there were moments of sheer terror, we had an incredibly fun time putting it all together.

Also different for this time around was the editing process.  Typically, Kyp takes the footage home, and edits all night, and basically give a big middle finger to sleep; then Sunday morning we have a rough cut that he and Mark then tweak slightly.  This time around was a little different with Mark taking on the rough cut.

 "Waiting" will be part of screening group B (9:30) at the Cinemagic in Hooksett, NH.
