I spent about an hour this afternoon strolling through Pensacola's older downtown neighborhoods with a still camera. The film will be shot entirely in Pensacola, but my goal is to not let on that it is. Sure, you'll recognize some well-traveled areas like Government Street, Seville Quarter and Hub Stacey's Sandwich Shop and Bar, but the beauty of film making allows you to re-plot maps and timelines however one wishes, so the Pensacola you will see is going to be very little like the one you know.
The biggest reason I did this today was because I don't like storyboarding. I can sketch fairly well, but it's tedious and slow, and I think much faster than I can draw. I tend to prefer very detailed written notes, or photographs. The photos I took today will be re-organized into the order that they will appear in the film, allowing me to give the cast a better idea of pacing and tone, and it also cuts down on time spent editing.
Here are a couple of snapshots from the locations. I included the street signs in the photos for my own geographic reference.
