[Brandon Rice]

Why are we the only ones with a thread here?

People are slow??

[g0ldenb0y55]

Is it me or is it cold in our office?...

[Brandon Rice]

It's freezing dude... now back to work...

[g0ldenb0y55]

People are slow??

Ahhhhhh...I see...

[gabrielflorit]

Wooohoooooo! The first AdFest thread.

Am I the first non-contestant to post in an AdFest thread? :)

Wish I had a camera. Alaska provides plenty locations to make a commercial.

[jackie_chen]

man, this sounds like a real good project to work on.

[Larry Rutledge]

With me as the writer, how could it not be a good project to work on? :grin:

With Larry as your writer, I bet your spot will download waaaaay faster than the other entries.:evil:

[Brandon Rice]

heehee.. my evil plan :)

UPDATE: Adding the beginning of the cast list.

[Larry Rutledge]

With Larry as your writer, I bet your spot will download waaaaay faster than the other entries.:evil:

No, it'll be the same speed ... but don't complain to me when all the downloaded spots are actually our spot :evil:

[Beat Takeshi]

[Brandon Rice]

JUST FINISHED Draft 1 of the script!

[leogardini]

Hey Brandon, I´ve always wanted to work with you...it´s great to make part of such a team!!!

[Brandon Rice]

Definitely excited about it Leo! I'll be sending off draft 1 of the script to you asap, so you can start getting some ideas!

[tmnt]

Larry, I hope you don't curse this production - I'll cross my fingers now for you ;)

[Jason Ramsey]

With me as the writer, how could it not be a good project to work on? :grin:

uhmm... because you can't write? Why do you think I dropped out of Drama Fest?


Larry, I hope you don't curse this production - I'll cross my fingers now for you ;)

Ah hah... so that's what it is... you are the common thread in all of these failed entries...

:)

[Brandon Rice]

Guarantee this will be finished and in.... Already have a cast, location, time, etc.

[Larry Rutledge]

Yes, but other than giving you my "idea", I haven't written a line of script yet ... so never fear there is plenty of time for the curse to hit

[Brandon Rice]

HA HA! Hopefully after today that will not be the case!

[Brandon Rice]

Former standup comedian, and longtime comic actor, Brad Silverman, has officially signed onto the project. It will be great working with Brad on this adfest spot!

[Tom Marshall]

Good luck Brandon! :beer:

[Brandon Rice]

Thanks Tom!

[Larry Rutledge]

WooHoo! Script's done! :thumbsup:

[Brandon Rice]

UPDATE: Draft 3 of the script is done, and we're locked :)

[Larry Rutledge]

Now you better complete and submit this entry ... I've got to break this curse! :grin:

[Brandon Rice]

Don't worry man... just sent draft 3 to Brad, and we're planning on shooting the 30th.

[davide]

Good luck guys. Are any butterflies going to be hurt in the making of this spec spot?

[Larry Rutledge]

http://2ni2.com/emoticon/animal/mariposas.gif

No butterflies will be harmed in the production of this ad ... unless they drink the water :evil:

[Brandon Rice]

Going to take some darn location pics on Tuesday. Will post them then!

[Brandon Rice]

Oh... I need a sound man with a mic. ASAP! For this coming Saturday in Santa Clarita. Thanks!

[Ki-Ki]

Can't remember If I posted here or not..
But good luck anyway, pretteh poster

[dougspice]

Just from the poster, looks like your product might be similar to mine. Don't worry, though, I'm sure your concept is not even slightly similar!

[Brandon Rice]

HEHE... the poster isn't even a representation of the product :) Just wait :):)

[Brandon Rice]

Can't remember If I posted here or not..
But good luck anyway, pretteh poster

Thanks for the support dude!

[Brandon Rice]

New shoot date! July 14! I also need a crane if anyone has one and could come out for an hour, and we can grab one or two shots with it! Thanks!

[Brandon Rice]

UPDATE: We're rescheduling the shoot date, something has come up.

[Larry Rutledge]

Rescheduling is fine. Canceling, however, is not an option...I've got a bad streak to try and break.

[Norm Sanders]

Uh-oh, hope for Larry's streak he's trying to break that this goes through! :shocked: Since there's been no posts to this thread for 5-6 days, it worries me just a tad ... c'mon guys, only three more weeks left!!!

[Brandon Rice]

I just had a real hard break up Norm, so... :(

[Norm Sanders]

Ugh, sorry to hear that, Brandon. That said, it's probably good for you to fill your time with some creative things to get your mind off of things!

[Shawn Philip Nelson]

Dating sucks, I recommend skipping straight to marriage. Then girls can turn from being a drag into being real helpers.

The year I dated my wife was probably the most unproductive year ever for filmmaking. But now I am getting more done than ever.

[Larry Rutledge]

Come on B-Dawg ... I'm countin' on you :thumbsup:

[Brandon Rice]

I'm working on it... just let me get past this headache.

[Ki-Ki]

I don't think there's any words that can help anyone feel better after a close break-up. They say time's a great healer and such. I think Norm was spot on when he said that. It won't make you completly over the moon, but it helps you feel better for a short run. Planning on films works well i found out because theres just so much to keep you busy with. Though it doesn't work with everyone. All comes back to time. Best of luck. =]

[Brandon Rice]

I am sorry to say, I am out... my lead actor is a little under-the-weather, and there's just no time to shoot, as I've been focusing a lot on my teaser trailer shoot coming up, and the upcoming film festival. Agh, it bothers me that I didn't finish this, the idea was spectacular.

[Larry Rutledge]

In my best newly formed Darth Vader voice:

"NOOOO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O!!!!!!!!!!!"

[Brandon Rice]

I am sorry Larry, but you KNOW I AM doing Checkmate!

[cinealma]

I got the chance to read the script and I thought it was great, especially with Brandon at the helm. Sorry to hear you're out on this one, but always glad to hear when fellow filmmakers are too busy making other films. :thumbsup:


Hang in there, Darth Larry. I'm sure there's still good in you.

[Brandon Rice]

Thanks John! I appreciate the kind words!

Yeah, Larry and I are hard at work on Checkmate, so we're certainly not just kicking back ;0

[Tom Marshall]

Poor Larry...

[Larry Rutledge]

The curse continues :crybaby:



Hey, wait http://forum.frag-mutti.de/html/emoticons/lightbulb.gif ... maybe I should write a script about that!!!

Ok, hey Barry/Jarred, when's the next DramaFest? I've got my story idea!!! http://www.x-pirat.de/images/smiles/4.gif Now, who wants to shoot it?

[blckhawk542]

Hey Brandon..since you're out..and you say you had such a splendid idea...and you know..i mean...its like July now...and I still have nothing..you know...? :)

[Brandon Rice]

The deadline's August 1st man... I doubt you'd have time.... :(

[Norm Sanders]

Brandon, you're kidding, right? We JUST shot our commercial this past Wednesday ... only a few days prep was needed, it's already in locked edit, and we're just waiting on final audio clean up & score.

A person only needs 4-5 days to really get a good one done, IMO. Ours isn't for the fest, but still ...

[Brandon Rice]

Your's isn't for the fest? Well D-boz, hit Larry up, and see if he'll let you take a shot at producing the script :)

[Norm Sanders]

Nope, if it was for the fest, I would have created a thread ... it's for the Heinz Top This TV challenge. We started to plan for that JUST before AdFest was announced. Toyed with the idea of taking the same commercial & tweaking it for Kinetica, but weren't convinced it would work out well, so didn't want to bother butchering it just for the sake of getting something into AdFest.

It'll be the first official fest, since I entered ZombieFest, that I'll have missed, but Ive realized I'm okay with not entering a fest as long as I'm doing something productive & creative.

If the next fest is comedy, I'll probably enter as well as push forward with an October shoot of BERLIN ... otherwise, I'll strictly focus on BERLIN, as well as continue to rebuild the funds for TRINITY RIVER.

[Brandon Rice]

Cool stuff! :) And I agree, as long as you're doing stuff, it's all good to miss :)

[Shawn Philip Nelson]

Sweet! I'm excited to see how you pull off Berlin!

[Larry Rutledge]

Well, I sent the script to D-Boz ... hopefully he'll be interested in producing it http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_29_107v.gif

[Brandon Rice]

NICE! Hey, as long as I get some story credit :)

[Brandon Rice]

Shooting tonight... different product, different script

[cinealma]

Shooting tonight... different product, different script

Glad to see you got something together. Looking forward to it.

[Brandon Rice]

Thanks man, JUST came up with it.

[Zoidoid]

Thanks man, JUST came up with it.

And you're shooting tonight! Now that is an impressive turn-around. Well done! Good luck with your shoot!

[Brandon Rice]

I'm a guy who lives improvisation, so it'll be fun :)

[Brandon Rice]

Need a good VO guy for this one... Jason Fox around? :)

[Brandon Rice]

Onto idea 3... first 2 aren't working... ugh!

[Norm Sanders]

Brandon, you're cracking me up. You tell the other guy that there's not enough time to shoot a commercial now in time for AdFest ... and that was 2+ days ago with a completed idea. Yet here you are ... you go man!

[Brandon Rice]

LOL... yeah, I might be crazy... who knows ;) Thanks for the encouragement.

[Brandon Rice]

Back to idea #1...might need tomorrow night too.

[Brandon Rice]

Idea #1 just won't work... back to the drawing board... hanging it up tonight.

[Brandon Rice]

Screw it... I can't finish something here...

I've got a wedding video that's been sitting in my hard drive for almost two months I need to finish, and a host of other things to do... so I'm going to stop trying to kill myself over this thing... good luck to all!

[cinealma]

Take a couple of deep breaths, Brandon...

[Slimothy]

Brandon,
You should just get drunk, have someone hold the camera on you, then cut it into a commercial.

[Brandon Rice]

I don't get drunk bro... but thanks for the suggestion.

[Nic Aragon]

Brandon,
You should just get drunk, have someone hold the camera on you, then cut it into a commercial.

Thats actually a really good idea if you think about it really hard and actually picture it

lol
