The movie I want to shoot has intimacy and nudity. I wanna shoot these ethically.
Fortunately, there’s an excellent book about this called Staging Sex by intimacy coordinator Chelsea Pace. I took notes (and posted them on my filmmaking blog–see link below).
There are three big ideas:
Chelsea says you don’t have to be perfect. Even a little bit is better. Heartening words. In case your curious, my notes are over here.
I just made a 2-minute animatic concept trailer for “Eros & Amara Sol” that I’m hoping to shoot. I wrote a voiceover and put my drawings to it with music.
Credit to filmmaker Diane Bell for the brilliant idea of making a concept trailer to help attract financing for a feature.
(If you’re curious, this was the concept trailer she shot to raise financing for her Sundance movie Obselidia. It inspired this animatic trailer. I wrote more about the process in creating this trailer at my “Eros and Amara Sol” movie blog.)
Next step? Cast it and shoot the bad boy.
By the way, if you do check out this trailer, thank you so much.
