Coming to town, October 2006...

[MOVIE STUNTS]

Good luck! Welcome to the show. Is that a knife he's holding or.....?

[VersuS]

LOL MOvieStunts!!! I think's it's a hunter's knife alright...

Welcome apollyon, glad to see you found your way to our threads :)

[Jaime V]

hmmm if it's not, he might hurt the ladies....or maybe this is a prequel to "Urine Trouble" or something :grin:

[Jaime V]

oh, and thank you for the kind welcome. :smile:

So, in case anyone's dying to see where I'm at with this one, (yeah, right)

the answer is: not very far.

After shooting 3 of the main scenes, two of my main actors (read: friends who are not really actors) is pulling out. Not very manly, I know. Now I know why everyone says use real actors, not your buddies. But I couldn't really imagine subjecting real actors to my virgin effort, since I have no clue what I'm doing.

I would either have to recast these two roles, and re-shoot everything done so far (only 3 scenes I know) or scrap this idea.

I'm toying with either the above idea, or doing a different short, which requires less people. I will decide and shoot this weekend either way...time's wasting.

Or you could go out, actually kill them with a knife, shoot it, and write their gruesome deaths into the script. That's what I do to actors who bail out early...

You could probably get Mark Johnson onboard to re-animate them after you kill them to fill in the holes!

Seriousy, good luck apollyon. Keep us updated!

I was just about to say the same thing! :thumbsup:

Good luck buddy. Hope it works out for you.

hmmm, a horror movie about making a horror movie! I can call it...Horror Movie! It practically sells itself!

[TheatreGuy]

It will be sorta like "Living in Oblivion!" except with blood! Lots and lots of blood!

I never saw, it but after googling it I may have to rent it. I like the tagline:

"He only needs three things to get through the day ... an espresso, an aspirin, and a miracle."

[Brandon Rice]

Sucks to hear that :( Delays and issues are never fun... good luck

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

Hey apollyon -- welcome!
You can get past these speed bumps.
Good luck!

Maybe it's only me, but I thought that this film (Living in Oblivion) was brilliant. It is an entertaining nightmare on a movie set. Some very funny stuff.

I'll be checking back on your thread... I wish you luck, man!

[Lingothree]

Are you submitting two films?

Think you're going to get them both done in time?

[Jaime V]

Hey Lingothree...no this project went the way of the dodo. I had to come up with a new idea with fewer actors required > the Devil Inside, which I see you found your way too :-)
