[antomic]

john, that's sweet! i gotta get in on that undead action...link the info here. i dont remember where i read that.

is there a san diego/LA logistical problem? i'm all fired up...more info...more info...yay!

[J.R. Hudson]

Asking me if I did anything in post is like asking ILM if they have a computer. I shoot TRUE in camera and then destroy it in post.

[Super Trooper]

lol :D

[Cheesesailor77]

well then tell me what u did, it looks great!

[Kirk Gillock]

Those are daily's. Awesome! Looks like it's going to be a great looking flick.

When will the trailer be up? :D

The gun grab looks a little grainy.

[antomic]

hudson left me hangin'

what up? i thought we was tight, yo?

[J.R. Hudson]

These are not final images. *Just grabs from dailies and mussed up in post. * The first and fourth one are very close to what I had in mind though. * The gun one is grainy; ouch. *I'll make sure the final image isn't that jacked up.

I'll try and get something up tomorrow. *This is a kind of 'short/test/concept' shoot. *Not final; not official; but some fun. *We have some B and insert still to do and some other shots but might have to wait a 3 weeks (might not though; still working that out; someones travel itenerary) sp?

It was fun; great group to work with (musicians no less); hard working; fun. *Zombie (Skip) rips on guitar and is a band in L.A. *I'll run down typical post pattern tomorrow; I'm tired; going to bed. *Rained ALLLL DAAAYYYYY on us. *Hampered our shots and schedule.

antOmic - Check the Cafe for an Undead Thread! *You have to jump on!

[antomic]

excellent...cafe.

ah, so many threads...such little time!

[antomic]

dag yo! that thread took off in a week! 10 friggin pages! cant wait to see the footage! there's a lot of buzz surrounding this. i would love to create a small corner of this world here in LA. i'm diggin the whole 2nd vampy type comin out of this too. maybe that could be my contribution. but riddle me this...what if we can only contribute one episode? will there be fan backlash? will characters make appearances in other peoples stories? should i be posting this in the cafe? should i shut up now? should i hit "post" or "reset"?

[BLUESPIDER]

I like this one...not the guy but the frame grab. :)

John,
we're all partying, playing music and discussing the days shoot--everyone wanted to make sure to tell you how much fun they had filming; you can't possibly imagine what a hit these grabs are with everyone! I Can't wait for the next shoot!

[lincolnlog]

lots of hype jon! Im gonna cut a backflip when you put up a trailer

[HorseFilms]

These are awesome! :o Now that I see what you have in mind, I'm gonna start the ball rolling here.

[Arcburn]

Very Very Cool John. The wheels are in motion.

[dakotapod]

Looks Great John! Very exciting.

.... Clips... Clips... Clips... Soon Please.

[J.R. Hudson]

I'll try and get something up today; thanks for the input guys. The scope is going to get bigger; nothing vooler than the undead; cept maybe the indy 500 (name that film that line is from and and get a cookie)

AntOmic

Vamp creature is cool; must keep them feral like animals and not the 'classic' dracula kind. One or 20 episodes is cool

[Rhombis_Walker]

platoon! I'll be over to collect my cookie.

[monte]

Godamnit, beat me to it walker

[David Jimerson]

Wow -- looks like you're off to a good start, John! Can't wait to see some moving pictures.

[J.R. Hudson]

:D

This is the writer/collaborator/production coordinator/assistant director/set designer/prop man....

;D

[antomic]

how cool would it be for members producing these in certain regions (like the few of us in LA for example) to cross-over actors and storylines. so the styles would be different, and the writers and directors would be different, but the characters can continue through the series even if the filmmakers need to bow out due to schedules.

like if arcburn invented a character, and then that actor would make an appearance in my episode.

[J.R. Hudson]

I like that; I like the idea of a world the audience can relate and identify with; we should shoot to get this on the Horror Channel I think

[antomic]

and who knows...if this really takes off, and gets a huge following, get that LA (or wherever) character to make appearances in Canadian or NY episodes. Like the hero character trompin around to lend a hand in postponing the end of the world as long as he can. dunno...just brain spillin'

[J.R. Hudson]

Spill them baby! I'm all about collaboration! :)

[antomic]

like all "Love Boat" special guest style! ;D

Do you mean use the same actors or different actors for the same characters in different episodes?

[antomic]

well, i guess you could use different actors as the same character. that could be fun, like michael keaton/val kilmer as batman. but more specifically, i was saying, if this thing takes off, we actually get some of the more popular character's actual actor's flying to different areas to make special appearances when the occasion arises. not every episode naturally. only when time and (budget?) allows.

you know, like "This week, on a very special Undead Nation..."

[Slimothy]

Okay. Yea, I think that would be better. To have the same actor to play the same character. That way it will be more true to the audience.

[NickMilo]

Wow!! look awesome John!!
...This is such a great idea, The tides are in motion!
God, I can feel that this thing is gonna be big! ...just real glad to be apart of it. *Cant wait to see the finished product. *After viewing the grabs I wrote a bunch more pages to my script,*talk about motivation....

[greeches]

motivating indeed. I've had something written for a few months now, but now i wanna go shoot it!!

[STORYTELLER32]

Stuff looks great John. First grab is my favorite. I like the composition. Can't wait to see some footage! Keep up the inspiring work! Did you put that Dolly of yours to good use on this? ;)
