This is going to be the shortest filmmaking class ever created. People spend years learning this stuff. (I did.) I'm going to move a lot faster. (I'm using the word "film" but you know I'm talking about video, right?)
To make a film, you only have to do three things: plan it, shoot it and edit it. Easy. (You already have a script.)
I'm going to start with editing, because that's actually the most important part. It's where everything has to come together to make a story. In planning and shooting, you'll be getting all the pieces you need for the edit. So yes, it starts with Part 3 and ends with Part 1.
Comments? Questions? Both are welcome!

It turned out well enough for me to post here. So this is dedicated to Aasiyah and acknowledging some of the great people I've worked with and read to learn about this.
