Some days are more difficult than others. Dealing with electricity issues, missing family and friends, and the huge weight of tasks on my shoulders with no certainty in regards to the outcome or timeline is tough.I spent the day storyboarding scenes for “Risalo”, using photos and mocking up the scenes with the actual puppets and backgrounds. This way, I can actually stage the shots and position elements as they could actually work, rather than trying to figure out those logistical issues for the very first time on set. It is kind of how I go from storyboards to previz in 3D animation.I was able to pick up the pace a bit and accomplish more on this day then the previous ones. I just need to get these photo storyboards in for the whole story, then I can focus on refining it.In the evening, Imran brought by his friend Nomi to take a look at the puppet stage setup and discuss “Risalo” with me. He is a director of photography, a good friend of Imran and Sohail’s as well as someone who both puts together productions and deals in rental of production equipment. Those are the types of skills I need in order to get this production finished.He was interested in partnering up on this film. It would be great to be able to focus on the creative side and get his help on setting up the production, gear and crew.
