We're Making a Movie
We're Making A Movie: The Production Department
If you’ve ever been on a film set, you know the person quietly keeping everything from falling apart is the First Assistant Director. From building the schedule to bridging communication between departments to keeping the entire shoot on track — the First AD is absolutely invaluable.
On “Turns Out It’s the Apocalypse… We Think,” our First AD was Ryan Cagle, and hot damn were we lucky to have him. Indie filmmaking means rolling with the punches, and Ryan was there every step of the way, making sure we still made our day despite all the curveballs thrown at us.
Ryan Cagle is freshly out of college and is very excited to get the ball rolling in his film career. During his time in college and post-college, Ryan has been on over 40 short film sets, and this production will be his 5th feature film! Ryan was born and raised in Knoxville, TN, before making his way to the University of Alabama. He has a passion for all sides of film. From working as an Assistant Director, shopping for a costume department, and even performing on screen, Ryan wants to be a part of it all!

51. We're Making A Movie: Moving Into Post-Production
49:27||Season 1, Ep. 51We’re officially wrapping up the production chapter of this filmmaking podcast and diving headfirst into post-production research.Now that the movie is “in the can,” what’s next? When will it be ready? What is taking so long??? Well, turns out, getting the green light can take years, filming happens in the blink of an eye, but post-production takes for-ev-er! (Okay, maybe not… but it certainly feels that way.) Your movie has to go to a lot of different departments before it’s ready to be seen by the world. Color-grading, sound mixing, title sequences… just to name a few. There is a long list of people who put their creative mark on the project in these final stages.So let's get in there and learn everything we can about the Post-Production phase of bringing this movie to life!Turns Out It’s the Apocalypes… We Think on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/turnsoutmovie/Turns Out It’s the Apocalypes… We Think on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581798639056We’re Making a Movie is a podcast that follows the behind-the-scenes adventures of two first-time filmmakers, sharing honest insights and lessons learned to inspire others on their filmmaking journey.A Podcast from first-time filmmakers - for first-time filmmakers.WANT TO HELP US MAKE A MOVIE?PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sneakypineappleMerch: https://sneaky-pineapple.myspreadshop.com/BUSINESS TIME!Subscribe to this Channel: https://goo.gl/qjbptEAvailable wherever you get your podcasts!Acast - https://shows.acast.com/were-making-a-movieApple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/were-making-a-movie/id1799476284Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1lKYtG3GiIouwXEcCz9UvK?si=dd999e0f669b4307Amazon/ Audible - https://amzn.to/4koHAX9Pandora - https://www.pandora.com/podcast/were-making-a-movie/PC:1001099016SOCIAL MEDIA REQUIREMENTSTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@natalieandtaraInstagram https://www.instagram.com/natalieandtara/https://www.instagram.com/turnsoutmovie/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NatalieandTaraTwitter: https://twitter.com/NatalieNTaraWanna reach us?

50. We're Making A Movie: The Lighting Department
01:00:16||Season 1, Ep. 50The Gaffer is one of those film jobs most people have heard of, but very few could actually explain. And honestly, even filmmakers can get fuzzy on where the line between G&E, grip, and electric really lives. But after making our first feature, we can tell you this… a great Gaffer changes everything.We’re sitting down with our Gaffer, Shane Hunter, who worked his magic on Turns Out It’s the Apocalypse… We Think. We’re talking about what the job actually is, what working on our movie looked like, and just how much movie magic happens in the lighting. Shane turned day into night, made a powerless house work on screen, and fought off every rogue flare from passing cars.Join us for a full conversation on all things light, electric, and the kind of behind-the-scenes wizardry that makes a movie actually look like a movie.Meet Shane:Shane Hunter is a Gaffer living in Knoxville, TN, working across the southeast and the country. When he's not working, he enjoys cycling, photography, backpacking, and spending time with his wife and two dogs! @horizongrip @askforshaneTurns Out It’s the Apocalypes… We Think on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/turnsoutmovie/Turns Out It’s the Apocalypes… We Think on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581798639056We’re Making a Movie is a podcast that follows the behind-the-scenes adventures of two first-time filmmakers, sharing honest insights and lessons learned to inspire others on their filmmaking journey.A podcast from first-time filmmakers - for first-time filmmakers.WANT TO HELP US MAKE A MOVIE?PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sneakypineappleMerch: https://sneaky-pineapple.myspreadshop.com/BUSINESS TIME!

49. We're Making A Movie: The Script Supervisor
55:37||Season 1, Ep. 49Our Script Supervisor, Rachael Agnello, is in the hot seat this week, and we are so excited to talk to her about her experience making this feature film.Script Supervisor is one of those jobs that does so much more than people realize. They’re tracking continuity, dialogue, takes, and details for the editor, and basically helping ensure the whole movie can actually cut together when production is over. No pressure.We’re sitting down with Rachael to talk about what that looked like on our first feature film, what she was watching for on set, and what she’s taking away from the experience as a filmmaker herself.Rachael has a passion for continuity and detail in film. She graduated early from the University of Alabama, where she found her love for script supervising. When she’s not working on TV shows, short films, or features, she enjoys working in the photography and editorial space at RenVision Media, a commercial production company in Alabama. @rachaelagnello8Turns Out It’s the Apocalypes… We Think on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/turnsoutmovie/Turns Out It’s the Apocalypes… We Think on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581798639056We’re Making a Movie is a podcast that follows the behind-the-scenes adventures of two first-time filmmakers, sharing honest insights and lessons learned to inspire others on their filmmaking journey.A Podcast from first-time filmmakers - for first-time filmmakers.WANT TO HELP US MAKE A MOVIE?PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sneakypineappleMerch: https://sneaky-pineapple.myspreadshop.com/Investor info available by emailing TurnsOutMovie@gmail.com or allison@eveningsquire.comBUSINESS TIME!

47. We're Making A Movie: The Camera Department
01:02:51||Season 1, Ep. 47Running the camera department for a feature film is a beast of a job. We’re sitting down with our Director of Photography, David Ogle, to break down everything that goes into leading the camera crew. From his prep process and how he approaches visual storytelling, to lens selection, shot design, and what it takes to actually film a movie on location — we’re getting into all of it.Indie filmmakers, aspiring cinematographers, or anyone curious about how a DP builds the look of a film, this conversation will be packed with juicy tidbits.

46. We're Making A Movie: Wardrobe
01:04:57||Season 1, Ep. 46There is so much more to costuming a movie than just picking out cool clothes for your actors to wear. Who are your characters!? What are their tastes? Where are they emotionally in the story and how does that affect the clothes they would pick for themselves in that moment?And after you make all those important decisions, how do you keep it all organized for something as massive as a feature film?! It’s a lot, but luckily, for our movie, Natalie is a pro at making good, grounded choices and keeping it all organized. We’re gonna walk you through her entire process and give you some insights on how we kept our little apocalypse flick moving forward despite how crazy the script was.

45. We're Making A Movie: The Art Department
01:08:37||Season 1, Ep. 45The Art Department- without it, your film would be very dull, very flat, very boring. They are responsible for numerous tasks from research, to set design, to set building, to props - you know - basically all the visual elements of your film. This week, we are diving into our incredible art department team: Production Designer Kevin Rigdon and Art Director Trish Rigdon.We’re going to talk through what it really takes to bring a film to life visually — from breaking down the script in pre-production, planning, sourcing, and designing every detail of the world. Then we’ll get into the craziness that is the final week before filming. Transforming a totally empty house into our movie’s primary location, AND yes, building a bunker out of a basement storage space is no small task.We’re going to have a blast and spill all the secrets of how our team made this set look so darn good!Turns Out It’s the Apocalypes… We Think on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/turnsoutmovie/Turns Out It’s the Apocalypes… We Think on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581798639056We’re Making a Movie is a podcast that follows the behind-the-scenes adventures of two first-time filmmakers, sharing honest insights and lessons learned to inspire others on their filmmaking journey.A Podcast from first-time filmmakers - for first-time filmmakers.WANT TO HELP US MAKE A MOVIE?PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sneakypineappleMerch: https://sneaky-pineapple.myspreadshop.com/BUSINESS TIME!
