The only reason I attempted to do this was my co-director Kasi Brown (pronounced \u201cCasey\u201d) and I knew that we had each other to pick up the slack. We\u2019d shot a bunch of sketches and had both worked on films for many years. We knew a feature length film would be vastly different, but we felt brave enough to try. We\u2019ve always shared a creative shorthand with one another, where one of us thinks something, we lock eyes and the other says \u201cthat\u2019s perfect! Let\u2019s do it!\u201d\u00a0 So we set forth with making Gone Doggy Gone, and we weren\u2019t going to let anyone tell us we couldn\u2019t do it. Here are a few examples to help future writer\/actor\/directors avoid mistakes we made.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_890\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gonedoggygone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DAY-2-KENTS-APT-CANON-SC-31116330-04-web.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-890\" class=\"size-full wp-image-890\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gonedoggygone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DAY-2-KENTS-APT-CANON-SC-31116330-04-web.jpg\" alt=\"Behind the Monitor\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gonedoggygone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DAY-2-KENTS-APT-CANON-SC-31116330-04-web.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.gonedoggygone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DAY-2-KENTS-APT-CANON-SC-31116330-04-web-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-890\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kasi Brown, Brandon Walter and our DP Garret O&#8217;Brien<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\"><br \/>\nUSING THE CREW WHEN YOU CAN\u2019T BE BEHIND THE MONITOR<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you think the camera crew or DP can be your eyes as a director think again. They\u2019re doing <i>their<\/i> job. How are they supposed to do your job as well? Were this a short film or sketch, then <i>maybe<\/i> it could happen, but not on a feature so it\u2019s best to just let this idea go.<\/p>\n<p>When we weren\u2019t in scenes, we were behind the monitors making sure the shot was ever so right. First we\u2019d check the frame, then run over and act. So many times something would come up with lighting, or a lens change would happen at the last minute and the shot would be slightly re-framed. Since we had our acting hats on, we neglected to run back and check frame. Stupid us. The shot, which had a joke in the frame, didn&#8217;t register anymore. \u00a0It was our fault because we didn\u2019t switch hats and double check. This kind of thing happens all the time when you\u2019re overextending yourself on set.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_891\" style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gonedoggygone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DAY-4-HARMON-HOME-CANON-RAW-SC-10-04-web.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-891\" class=\"size-full wp-image-891 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.gonedoggygone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DAY-4-HARMON-HOME-CANON-RAW-SC-10-04-web.jpg\" alt=\"THE HARMONS\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gonedoggygone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DAY-4-HARMON-HOME-CANON-RAW-SC-10-04-web.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.gonedoggygone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DAY-4-HARMON-HOME-CANON-RAW-SC-10-04-web-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-891\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kasi as Abby Harmon, Laila the Yorkie in the middle, and Brandon as Eliott Harmon<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">THE ACTING ROLES YOU PLAY<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Kasi and I played husband and wife and were in nearly every scene together. Stupid us, again. If we\u2019d played different roles then one of us could have been directing while the other acted. This would have made things much smoother. But if you have to do this and can\u2019t be told otherwise, make sure your directing partner is an awesome actor. I was very fortunate to work with Kasi who is \u201call balls\u201d. She doesn\u2019t know the meaning of half-measures. Her acting brought everyone else\u2019s up a notch. Thank God for her years of acting experience and helping me out when the proverbial celluloid sh*t hit the fan. She was the calm in the center of the hurricane.<\/p>\n<p>THREE TAKE SCENES IF WE WERE LUCKY<\/p>\n<p>Many times we\u2019d set up a shot and only have 3 takes from one angle if we were lucky. When we&#8217;d look back at the footage and see there was only 1 take of something, we were horrified. \u201cAre you kidding me? That\u2019s all we got? Oh, yeah\u2026 we had an 8 page day with 50 setups, stunts and dogs!\u201d Don\u2019t do this to yourself! You\u2019ve really got to break down the shots of every scene before hand so much that you\u2019ve either got them storyboarded or written out extensively so they can easily be communicated. Although, we did this we could have done it in even greater detail. Plan your shots out like its D-Day. Eisenhower took a full year to prepare that invasion. He took his time, and planned, and planned, and planned some more, and made plans for failed plans, and planned for different plans. That&#8217;s the kind of attention to detail you need when you make a movie for $100 or a million dollars.<\/p>\n<p>I hope I\u2019ve conveyed to you why you shouldn\u2019t write\/direct\/act in your own film or at least some pitfalls to avoid. We were a bit foolish in some aspects, but I\u2019m glad to be a fool and have a finished feature film, than having a script I\u2019m trying to get made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Writing, acting, and directing your own film is something I would only advise a masochist to take on.
