[Ryan Jones]

is cool?

[gabrielflorit]

it's way cool. all of us do it, so why can't you? :)

Good luck - nice signature!

[Kyle Stebbins]

Ryan is the man, and his help on my film sets (as well as the one's I've contributed to that weren't "mine") has been responsible for the high quality and out-of-this-world production value they have respectively boasted, time and time again.

He's a film student at my University and the type of person I looked up to when I was a freshman.

Ryan - I'm excited for this entry! Let me know if you need any help!

[Simon Höfer]

A new face around here :) Welcome to the fest! Have fun!

[pauly_the_hitman]

Welcome Ryan. Goals are good as long as you achieve them. So give yourself some credit and just do it and you will succeed.

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

Have a great time and best of luck! Always great to see new faces.

Mike

[Rodney V. Smith]

welcome to the madness dude. hope you keep your sanity intact.

[Ryan Jones]

Thank you for the extremely warm welcome guys! I hope that i can help to make this fest as good as it can be. And kyle man, thank you for those very kind words, they mean a lot coming from such a talented man. I am sure i can find something for you to do when you aren't working on dead week! Which by the way looks to be an awesome project. ?Hopefully i can help give it some production value!!! But from the looks of those locations it wont take much!
Anyways, an update on the script has been done and is neering completion. On draft 3 now. Storyboards for the opening sequence have also been created. I am shopping around at various places today for costumes and props. Looks to be coming along nicely!

[Rodney V. Smith]

Any idea on when you're going into production?

[Ryan Jones]

Well I am currently in Fort Worth for the summer, but on the 2nd of august I will be going up to Lincoln Nebraska for the school year. So hopefully I will get to shoot the 23rd and 24 and if needed the 30thand 31st. Keep in mind that this is tentative though and that I still need to get a crew together + equipment + lock everything in.

In other news the shopping went well. I definitely have a great sense of where things need to go in my props dept. and am working on sketches and etc. based on what I saw today. I will probably see what our school has in terms of all of these things before I purchase any myself... since I am not rich.

That sounds like a great idea. Here's hoping they have some amazing things you need! :beer:

[Alex Jeffery]

Updates added to first page!

[Ryan Jones]

We got the set!!!!!!

[Alex Jeffery]

Yeah, pretty huge news. The hospital location is secured, and Ryan also managed to get amazing costumes from the theatre dept here.

We just made some revisions to the script that, in my opinion, give it a lot more depth.

More news when we have it!

[AmyO]

Okay, you made a cast of a guy's arm. I'm hooked. I want to know what that's all about :) Welcome to the fest!

[Kyle Stebbins]

The location that was secured is at St. Elizabeth's Hospital here in Lincoln.

http://www.saintelizabethonline.com/hr/images/header_inside.jpg

It's not only the place I was born, but also the second largest hospital in the town.
I can't tell you how stunned I was when I learned they had secured this location.

[Ryan Jones]

Kyle, i had no idea you had a natural birth! I thought you were born from the gods through some super natural power and came upon us through a burst of light only capable of zues himself!

PS Updates on the first page

[Alex Jeffery]

We're really pumped to have Lacey Hannan on board as the nurse, she's an incredible actress.

Thats kick ass! How'd you guys manage landing that one?

[Alex Jeffery]

We just called a whole bunch of places, and they were the first ones to say yes, lol. They were really open to it, and very helpful. So we're doing our best to be as prepared as we can and not waste their time.

P.S. Homer, we'd love to have you on board if you're interested.

Awesome! I wouldn't expect a place like that to be so receptive. Anyways I'd totally be up for lending you a hand.

Super Updates posted

[Alex Jeffery]

Yeah Homer! I'm stoked man.

[Jarrod Homer]

Yeah Homer! I'm stoked man.

Hell Yeah! I'm excited to finally get another chance to work with the amazing Mr. Jeffery. Give me a call whenever you need me or when you set shooting dates and what not. My work schedule isn't really a set schedule at the moment but I can do what I can to get out of that if need be. I'll pm you phone number in case you don't have it anymore.

[Alex Jeffery]

I just got home from auditions, I'm gonna call you tomorrow with all of the information!

[Jarrod Homer]

I had a blast at the shoot today fellas! Thanks for letting me help out. Let's do it again sometime.

[Alex Jeffery]

Homer, you were rad man. A huge asset to the team. Thanks so much!

Grabs coming later. I think we got some decent stuff!

[Jarrod Homer]

Thanks! I'm glad I could be put to good use again, finally. If you're working on anything else this year or whatever just give me a holler I'd be glad to help.

I really excited to see the grabs!

Let's not forget about Dead Week, sir! :thumbup:

--

Really got a lot done on the shoot today. It was great being able to approach the production from the OTHER side of the camera with Tourniquet. It helps me to better understand how I need to talk to my actors when directing. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed it... thanks for giving me the opportunity to play a part! :dankk2:

[Jarrod Homer]

Let's not forget about Dead Week, sir! :thumbup:

Touche salesman!

[Alex Jeffery]

Guys, we decided to ditch all our footage an reshoot using a different premise.

We think this film will actually be better.

Haha The seal is classy.

Love the new grabs!

[Alex Jeffery]

Thanks, Homer!

We need a Tourniquet wrap party methinks.

[Jarrod Homer]

Hells yeah!

[Alex Jeffery]

Small update: editing has begun. It's all cutting together really nicely. Can't wait to start really fine tuning it and seeing how sound shapes the piece.

Just a reminder that there are some grabs on the previous page. Scope em out!

Editing, editing, editing.

[Ryan Jones]

Some huge strides were made this last weekend in terms of color correction and editing, More to come soon, Including a poster!!!

[Jarrod Homer]

Awesome!

[Simon Höfer]

Looking forward to the poster :)

[ZazaCast]

Whatzzzuuuppp? Updates? Poster? How's it going?

[Alex Jeffery]

Well, I'm sad to announce that Tourniquet wasn't finished in time for the deadline. It sucks because we were really friggin close. We'll post the film in this thread when it's done, and hopefully you guys will still be willing to give some feedback.

Expect it by the end of the week.

[Kyle Stebbins]

Really a shame. My acting was rather superior. ;)

Can't wait to see this flick when its finished!!

[Jarrod Homer]

Bummer!

I'm really excited to see how this turned out!

[ZazaCast]

OH MAN.... I was looking forward to this making the fest! No worries, I'll be sure to watch & comment. Keep us posted as to it's progress.

[Brian Parker]

Keep going. Everybody'll still check it out. Looks like a cool film. :beer:

[NateCaauwe]

Oh yeah, wasn't I supposed to do an effect shot for this? It just sorta hit me tonight: "what happened with Tourniquet?" Looking forward to seeing it though :)

[ZazaCast]

What's up with this one...any updates?
