Filmmaking is planning. A LOT of planning. Before you can roll a camera or bring your first crew member on board, there’s an enormous amount of pre-production work that has to happen. For us, that meant creating loglines, one-sheets, and location breakdowns to get a handle on logistics and scope. It’s a lot to manage, and while we’re lucky to have a four-person filmmaking team tackling it from every angle, not everyone has that kind of support system.

That’s where Alex D. Lugo and his platform FilmPro.ai come in. We’re going to sit down with Alex and talk all things film pre-production, and dig into what steps he sees as most important to getting a movie ready before the director yells action.

Pre-Production organization on a feature film can be overwhelming. Spreadsheets. Calendars. To-do lists. There are so many things to organize and so many people to coordinate that it's easy to see why making a movie is so incredibly difficult. Enter into the picture an up-and-coming production workflow website called Collabrix that aims to help organize all your information and collaborate with the whole team. The site is still in its infancy, but we’ve convinced Collabrix Founder and CEO Thomas DeCarlo to join us to discuss the site in its current state and what its future looks like.

Collabrix Site: https://collabrix.studio/dashboard/

Thomas DeCarlo is a filmmaker-entrepreneur who is currently developing his first animated feature through his studio in southern Indiana. Adapted from his multi-award-winning short film, the feature is pioneering a new class of ultra-small independent animation with Thomas as the film’s writer, director, producer, and primary 3D artist. Thomas is also the Founder and CEO of Collabrix, a virtual collaboration platform that is redefining workflow efficiency for decentralized creative teams. Developed in partnership with his studio, Thomas is leveraging the technology to achieve world-class animation with indie-scale resources.

Fresh off a film festival, we’re back—and production is coming up FAST. We’re slated to begin filming our feature, Turns Out It’s the Apocalypse… We Think, at the end of February, and it’s officially all systems go.

To get ourselves ready (and keep everything from falling through the cracks), our incredible Executive Producer, Allison Moy Hayhurst, put together a pre-production checklist so good we had to share it. From deal memos to creative logistics, we’re pulling back the curtain and giving you a behind-the-scenes look at how we’re preparing to make our very first feature film.
