Movie Making Manual/Currently Untitled Studio (Pre-production)

For clarification, Currently Untitled Studio means just that, not that CUS is the name of the studio. The name will be changed as work progresses. In either case, this is a case study/log of events concerning production of a series of shorts undertaken by DorianGray (director) and a group of volunteers.

Note: The first few weeks of work are not dated, or have only been dated by the accuracy of memory. Specific items such as previous ideas, names, and storylines/scripts will not be mentioned or changed for privacy, liability and copyright reasons. These will possibly be changed as work progresses/finishes.
