The Local update #2

This one's turning out to be a little bit bigger than I expected when I first wrote it.  Survival was shot on a Handycam with a shoestring budget and a cast & crew of volunteers, but The Local is shaping up to be up in the lofty realms of micro-budget, and we're looking at hiring just about everything - cast, crew, and equipment.

This week, we've hired a camera to shoot some tests and get to know some higher-end gear.  Next week: MEETINGS, and an educational trip to London.

The end result of all this effort will be a film about half the length of Survival, but that'll look as good as anything else that's out there, and the extra experience we're getting will help a lot with tackling the bigger projects on the horizon.
