Backers...
As we've sent you a few days' worth of video blogs that show you HOW we make movies, we thought we'd let you in on WHO's making the movies...
We present to you: DAY 4- the awkwardness and comfort zones breached within we, the crew, as we worked together 14+ hours a day for 5 days.

PS: Day 5's behind-the-scenes video to be posted early next week...
Backers,
Last night we wrapped BUTTONS in Turlock, CA! We traveled up on THUR 11/18 and shot for 5 days straight from FRI 11/19 - TUE 11/23. It was an amazing and challenging time for all of us which provided for a lot of learning, laughs - it was all good.
We have BTS DAY 4 and DAY 5 coming soon! We'll send those to you as soon as possible.
We will still be shooting our coral reef sequence back in Culver City on SAT 12/4, and then we are a complete wrap on our production.
We have already begun the post-production process. We had our Editor, Ben, and Assistant Editor, Nate, up in Turlock spending their entire days syncing the audio with the video of each take and assembling all the footage in order so that our Editing process moves swiftly. We also had a Post-Production Supervisor, KT, shooting on location with us so that she could advise us of anything that would really mess up our Post process. Her advice for inserts and establishment shots and recording audio "wild" lines really helped give us some good stuff to work with the next couple of months.
We'll post our BTS videos as soon as we can - and we'll let you know about the CORAL REEF shoot when that's gone down.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you -
- the BUTTONS team!
Backers,
Another awesome day... the mid-point, if you will.
It's sad we're almost through production...

Backers,
A quick glimpse into our DAY 2 of shooting (from yesterday, SAT 11/20)... a beautiful sky, an amazing and intense backdrop to our scenes!
All is going VERY well...

Backers...
We made it through day 1! With just sprinkles of rain, 2 company moves, three locations and... oh yeah, our first set up being a 24' jib mounted onto a dolly shot... ...no bigs.
Out of our continued love and appreciation for you, and to honor your rewards, here's a sneak peek at the DAY 1 VIDEO BLOG!
The local Turlock backers (and a few Los Angeles folks... and even Hank & Lana from Montana!) have all come out and shown us physical support by making meals, providing the most amazing craft service any of us have seen... providing genius "pick me up" snacks when we're getting through the day... it's been amazing.
So we present to you... BUTTONS - SHOOT DAY 1!
