Hey, I posted before about equipment, I'm just going to go with what I have (sony digital8 cam and radioshack mic) and make my first film. Well, not my first, I have hundreds of other ones that I make up as I do them, but they are just spur of the moment goofy stuff, going to try and make this one half decent.
Anyway on to my question, what is the best way to go about planning it? I have a majority of the story line, jokes, scenes, etc in my head, but I need some sort of base to work off, story boards etc. When starting to make a story board it was frusterating drawing so much, then changing my mind and having to redraw all that crap. Maybe this is a very newbie question, but what are the basic steps taken when doing this sort of thing? They way it looks to me is I should write it out in story form, then write a basic script to go along with it, then story board for shots. Does that sound about right? Or does anyone have any little tips to make it run smoother?
Lunch break over, I'm done rambling :)
