Thursday, I visited Dan Ackerman at his studio, Stage 13. We discussed each shot in my storyboards including the lighting set-up, greenscreen blocking and overall layout and equipment needs. Of course, this is only a preliminary breakdown and review… but it was nice to troubleshoot a few issues and concerns I had. Dan is an amazing resource and we discussed many shots in-depth.Read more
