It’s been crazy crunch time for Moth to Flame as we rush to the finish line with “Two Roads,” our new short for the Louisiana Film Prize. This year has been a bit more hectic in terms of post-production scheduling, because each team member has continued to take on bigger and better projects and we collectively have more projects to juggle on top of this one. In addition, we have two cuts of our film this year (instead of one, like last year’s A Bird’s Nest)… a 15-minute cut for the actual Louisiana Film Prize itself and also a much longer 20 minute version for other festivals.

After we got through the first 3 days of production, the last 2 days became less stressful. This is the stage that I like to call “Meh.” Basically, after the initial shock factor of dealing with intense work schedules and a variety of temperamental problems, the entire team became so used to (and tired of) solving or accepting these problems that by the last two days any problem ceased to become a big deal. It is going to rain in 2 minutes? Cool. It is pouring outside? Cool. The data dump froze again right before an incredibly emotionally difficult scene to shoot? Okay.

Girl Scout Cookie Promotional Commercial… At Moth to Flame, we love creative challenges. Girl Scout asked us to create a promotional video about their cookie fundraising campaign. We didn’t want to do a typical talking heads and interview style video, but instead wanted to create a funny and clever narrative based commercial. Our special projects team member, Michelle Casanova came up with the idea about a top secret style cookie operation… and this is what we came up with. The shoot took a total of half a day. None of the cast members were actors, but were all girl scout…
