I finished another fifteen storyboard frames yesterday. I know about the importance of having a storyboard. But to me, that's the most annoying part of preproduction. I've got lots of beautiful pictures in my head how my film could and should be, how the different sets could look like. Then I take a pencil and a sheet of paper and find out that it won't work. This is soo annoying.... But ok: it isn't the worst case to find out early what I have to do in another way. I think that is one reason for storyboarding: getting disappointed as early as possible. Like all things in life it has two sides: I found out what won't work and I had to make decisions how to go on. And these decisions really made the difference to all this frustrating thoughts about "that looks boring... this was made by others earlier..." I had some nice ideas about set design and all that stuff and technical procedures. By drawing the storyboard I made decisions about the storyline, shortened the script a bit and made it more focussed. I went to the art and craft shop today and tomorrow I will try out the new ideas... Fifteen planned frames left to be drawn. I think I'll get up early tomorrow and see if I would have a good start at it...

Today I added some music websites to the link page. The first is soundsnap.com and the other one is mobygratis.com. Soundsnap.com is free database with thousands of free sound effects, loops and samples. Not everything is perfect there but if you do some research you can find very good things there. Moby, the american musician, DJ and producer, offers free music on his website. You're allowed to use for non-commercial projects. It is worth a glance.
