Thanks for tuning in. Not much right now.

Daniel sent me the script, I like it. We got 2/3 actors casted so far. It should be good!

[EJ Pennypacker]

I'm very excited to see what Hiro can do with this project. Highly visual piece. With an interesting exploration of horror from a mental POV. And given Hiro now has the Letus35, it's going to be awesome.

Looking forward to it.

Now get cracking on that poster! :)

EJ

[Ralph Oshiro]

Davis Osborne creeps me out ... thank god you put two attractive women after him.

[EJ Pennypacker]

David judged on looks alone, will be perfect for his role.

[EJ Pennypacker]

When I last spoke to Hiro about Steph's role in the movie, he said she's really pumped for this project.

I can't wait to see the end product. Hiro said he'll start shooting come end of August (if work permits).

For this Fest we are going to try something a little different. We are going to allow the hype machine to come out. What does that mean ?

It mean's you can pim p and promote your film. There is a catch

Film's can only be promoted here at dvxuser inside your own unique threads. No external site(s) or link's are permitted (Unless a video or image host) Like the indiviual film discussion's, we will have the same for the Horrorfest films. ...
or else I'd be doing it too :thumbsup:

EDIT: BWahahaha! You've also linked to this thread from an external site (the one above) ... lol, you are like breaking almost every rule there is :grin: ROFL

NO WORRIES though :). No one will scream DQ at this point, especially since it's obviously on accident. But you have to nuke that site. What you can do instead is have all of those links nested in the first post of the thread (or any other post you choose). :laugh: There just can't be an external site where all the links are nested. But you can link to your BTS clips.

[spidey]

yeah.

[Ramon Boutviseth]

oops. lol my bad. let me start over

[Ramon Boutviseth]

Yea i wonder why no one wasn't making a website

[Mark Johnson]

Nice site too. Hope you can move it all here without too much hassle.

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

it was nice work on the ext. site too :(

Hey Ramon ... I made your banner link to your first post so you won't need the link ... just cut and paste it from this post and it should work

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

Hehe. Fun screen test.
but what's up with the no "coarse language" warning ... my sensitive ears were offended. :engel017: :grin:

[EJ Pennypacker]

All looks good Hiro!

Looking forward to it wayyyyyy to much.

:)

EJ

[Brandon Rice]

Looking forward man. You always do good work.

[NSumner]

[Mark Johnson]

[EJ Pennypacker]

lol

EJ

[Brandon Rice]

Cool! :)

EJ

[slim pickens]

nice work Hiro!

[Kholi]

Hiro Hiro Hiro.

The man with the neat-o website. I love the image there, and the little hidden DVX on the right side; nice stuff.

The audition/test video posted most recently is actually cool. It looks like something you'd see on MTV. Which isn't a bad thing at all. How are you doing with your lead actress and actors? Have you locked script yet?

I don't think I've ever seen any of your work, so if you get a chance shoot me a PM with some links. I'm scouring your website as of now to try and see something. =D

[cinealma]

"Screentest with Stefanie Doll."

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's re-tawted! :grin:

[EJ Pennypacker]

Kholi,

Click on Synthetic Love below, it's his Sci-Fi Fest entry at you tube.

Enjoy.

EJ

[Kholi]

I think I missed that in the Sci-Fest line-up. You guys are totally .JP.

Do you have a lot of eastern influenced? Anime? One of my personal directorial influences is Tetsuya Nomura.

I like the short. Kudos.

[EJ Pennypacker]

I think I can speak for both of us when I say we both enjoy Eastern mythos/ things.

Glad you enjoyed the short though!

EJ

Kholi, i had a bunch of crap on the website last year.. but its all hidden now. Most of my old stuff is on myspace. www.myspace.com/studiorbfilms

[Ramon Boutviseth]

I try to have a little bit of eastern/anime influence into everything I do, just a hint of it.. not much though!

[Ramon Boutviseth]

We plan to shoot on SEPT 1, 2, 3.

[EJ Pennypacker]

Coooool.

EJ

[Kholi]

A hint is all good, man. The flavor of the east is prevalent in a lot of directors in our generation-- Tarantino to name one?

I do want to see how you bled it into horror, as well. =DDD

Have fun shooting, dudes!

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

Tons of great people working on this one ... really looking foreward to it.

[EJ Pennypacker]

Any luck with a composer yet Hiro?

EJ

[Slimothy]

Did you get to shoot the days you wanted?

[Ramon Boutviseth]

EJ, Herman is our composer, I don't want to nag him yet until I get the film done lol.

Slimothy, we're shooting this friday, and that depends on everyone's schedule.. so far it looks good.

[EJ Pennypacker]

Sweet.

EJ

Sid too?

[Ramon Boutviseth]

Nah, just herman. but he wants to help out.. feel free!!!

Friday is the big day.. im excited.. haven't made anything since jan.. synthetic love.

[EJ Pennypacker]

Hey Hiro,

Did you keep to those shooting dates, or did that hurriance in the NC screw up your plans?

EJ

[Ramon Boutviseth]

Project is on hold for now. Sorry guys!

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

Crap!
Keep us updated, man.

[Mark Harris]

Whaaa happened? Was it the storm?

[EJ Pennypacker]

The actress was so creeped out by the part, she dropped out. :D

EJ

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

oooh ... i have that concern for a smaller part ... I meeting with my third actress in a couple of hours and hoping she won't get cold feet like the other two ... wish me luck and goodluck getting a replacement and getting up and running again.

[EJ Pennypacker]

I have faith that Hiro will turn something in!

EJ

[Brandon Rice]

Wishing you the best dude. Would love to see you in this fest!

[Lingothree]

are you still in?

[luster]

did you finish in time? i was looking forward to this one.

[Norm Sanders]

Hmmm, just noticed this wasn't on the score sheet ... guess you didn't make it, Ramon?

[WhiteWood]

Is it done yet?

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

Hey yeah, wha happen?
