Night & Fog

03.11.06
This is my teaser. I'm not entirely sure where it's going right now but, I'm
sure it will come together sooner or later.

08.12.06
It is my pleasure to inform DVXUSER that the immensly talented Herman Witkam
has joined us to score Night & Fog! Very rare individual here and I expect nothing
short amazing of any project he is involved in. Thankyou Mr. Witkam!!!!

13.12.06
Script is almost done. I've done a few location scouts but, nothing entirely
concrete yet. I've updated my teaser and also I'm in the build phase of my
DIY 35mm for this fest. I hope it works.

13.12.06
New banner and poster design.
I decided on a completely different approach to the promotion imagery. The
red and black was a little harsh for my subject matter and did not convey
the emotion I had intended.

08.01.07
Oh god... finally finished the script. I've cut out just
about anything and everything that is not relavant to the story. What a
pain! On to the casting phase which I'm a week behind schedule with. The
holidays have a way of putting a little dark cloud above my head.


14.01.07
Auditions rescheduled for MLK day. More script finetuning...
4 of 6 locations are verified. Costumes? Hmm... most roles are
in civilian clothing except for 8 minor characters. Building an
animatic for Herman to work with. Hopefully I can knock this
out tonight. Time to breakout the pencils ya'll!

[RebeccaD]

[Edgen]

I digg your graphic design styles Inexistence... Looking forward to seeing your film.

/j

[Kyle Stebbins]

always impressed with your work, eric.

[Ted Arabian]

Hey Inexistence, looking forward to your next project!!! The title and graphics are mysterious! I like!

After seeing your last entry, I am sure that we are in for a treat!!!

Ted

[Mark Johnson]

Less talk. More scantily clad women. Preferably in hot tubs.

[JoshuaNitschke]

Digging the poster. I hope this next film is as pretty visually as your last was.

Is it going to be in french or english?

[Darkline]

oooh I like!

[PaulM]

Night and Fog is an important 1955 film about Auschwitz.

http://www.criterionco.com/asp/release.asp?id=197

[Inexistence]

Yes. That is correct. Nacht und Nebel. Hitler's The Night and Fog Decree.

This is not about WWII this time around for me but, more or less how
the name and meaning applies to current events. Argh! I'm giving
away too much information.

[Kyle Stebbins]

eric, i called you last night, did you get the message?
-kyle

[Norm Sanders]

Like the title. The poster screams Edgar Allen Poe to me ... that the style of story/tone you're going with?

[Ladyhazle]

The poster screams Edgar Allen Poe to me ...

That's the first thing that came to my mind. Very intriguing. I love it.

[jeremytuttle]

You graphic design is great. I love the look. The banner has a propaganda feel to it. Good luck man.

[Inexistence]

Thanks everybody! Yes, yes and yes to all questions and statements and

Kyle!!! I did get you message! The Elections are over and now I can concentrate
on working with everyone!

[Kyle Stebbins]

Alright man, sounds good!

[Kyle Stebbins]

Wanted to bump this up... more for Eric I guess than anyone else.

Also, you wrote this in my thread last fest:


I would answer that here but, that could muckup the Developed thread. I might
start a seperate thread about what everyone values when interpreting/reviewing
horrorfest films.

You were mentioning why you didn't like the hollywood polish that "everyone seems so addicted to like crack"
I would love to hear you spill your beans on this one... Because I do agree with you.

-Kyle

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

Cool poster and information so far.

Your banner is the 1st one in the history of banners here that made click on it sheerly out of the design and not "oh, so and so's film thread is up I'll go check it out" but rather "that's a cool looking banner, wtf is it for?"

looking forward to more updates and information.

[235 Studios]

Dig the poster and the banner as well- great work!

This guy is very talented- for those of you who haven't checked out his demo reel check it out at his web site- the link is in his sig. Great stuff all around.

[Inexistence]

Thanks JDS and 235! Updates are coming in a few weeks, the script requires
mounds and mounds upon mounds of fact checking. I'm in over my head on
this one!

BTW I'm updating my site in the next few days so everything is down for the
moment. It needed refreshing.

[Inexistence]

Finally got around to updating my site... same stuff as before slightly diff format.

Kyle, I'll get that anamatic to you by Wed/Thurs nextweek bro! Then we'll
discuss changes! Oh, and the thread on Hollywood polish is coming too.

Updates for Night & Fog:

Script phase still, snore...

[TimurCivan]

[jeremytuttle]

Congrats on snagging Herman, he is one talented individual. How's the fact checking going?

[Inexistence]

Fact checking is now done and the script is coming along quickly now. That reminds
me I gotta send Herman something in the mail tomorrow.

I've got a new toy for Drama-fest. I was growing sick and tired of the DVX lens so I
made one of these!

[Inexistence]

Another pic of my 35mm adapter 95% comlete. I have a few electrical
connections to be made in a few days or so.

Update... finally getting around to the pesky wiring diagram.

[majormorgan]

Your banner caught my eye. Very nice work. When are you shooting? Will you be using your adaptor?

Cool work

Majormorgan

[Inexistence]

Thanks! I'll be shooting after the New Year when all the decorations are down
and yes I developed my adapter for this fest. After the last fest I quickly realized
I needed selective focus. Now that I have it I can't live without it!

It needs a nice powder coating!!!

[Kyle Stebbins]

oh man, eric... i want to see this adapter!

[Inexistence]

updated to a new poster design and banner. I wanted something
a little more refined for this project.

[DJ Lewis]

Sweet! Love the new look...

[Jason Ramsey]

I like the new look, man.

The poster photo is amazing!! I'm really liking the new slick and refined look.

[jontuttle]

The new look is bitchin'. If the film can convey the same feeling that picture does you are in good shape.

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

yeah very slick and evocative

[hjanssen]

Lovin' it like McDonalds.

[Herman Witkam]

Great poster Eric! Looking forward to the collaboration.

[Inexistence]

Thank you again for all the comps guys! The next few weeks are going to put a
few grey hairs on my head...


Small update today. Script is done... atleast for me. Casting is full speed ahead.
Locations 1 out of 6 found.

Someone shoot me.

[Mark Harris]

yeah, we've got a massive three weeks ahead of us as well...but hey, what the heck, right?

[Inexistence]

Update...
Auditions this sunday with just a few people. many script revisions again...

Is anyone using exploretalent.com for their casting this time around?

[jeremytuttle]

Is anyone using exploretalent.com for their casting this time around?

Yeah, I got a few hits off of exploretalent. I also used nowcasting.com and I seemed to get more hits there.

Good luck with the auditions.

[Inexistence]

that's a new one for me... I've got the casting blues.

checking out nowcasting right now

Thank ya!

WHAT?!?!? You are just now holding auditions? Wow!

I haven't been able to follow up on dvxuser much lately. How is it going?

[Inexistence]

aw Ted that taint nuthin'

from what I experience at my day job, I consider this tons of time:)

*twiddles fingers and glances left & right nervously*

[Blaine]

Love that poster. It's a drama in itself. :beer:

[Inexistence]

Thanks Blaine! Although I think I might have to pull the plug on this one...
Locations keep dissapearing as well as a whole host of other problems. I'll know
by tomorrow afternoon. If so, I'll be shooting a lower profile short just to have
something to enter.

[Inexistence]

I'm out for this film. I'll finish this project toward the end of the summer.

[Edgen]

ahh bummer! I was looking forward to seeing your flick. Anxious to check it out over the summer then. Keep us in the loop!

/j

[Ted Arabian]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Say it aint so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bummer man. I am so sorry to hear this. I loved your horrorfest entry and was so looking forward to this.

:crybaby:

[Jason Ramsey]

Dang it. Another one out. Sorry to hear the news, man. Hopefuly things will change.

Jason

[Kyle Stebbins]

ah damn, eric. dude. i was really looking forward to this. -- ah well, onward, my friend! there is money to be made! ;) only joking.

also, the latest on your adapter??
-kyle

[Inexistence]

Thanks guys! I'm going to keep pluggin' away at this one so all of
the hard work put into it won't go to waste. After viewing the script,
locations not up to par and the time constraint, I decided it was a good
time to stop and take a long step back. I'm considering putting scenes
back into the script that were sacrificed for time. Actually this might be
good thing because of the possible injustice to the victims by NOT covering
ALL the events.

Anyways, stay tuned for my backup Drama-fest entry which hits smack
dab in the middle of the genre. Please watch it... please?

Kyle, I'm gonna put this adapter through the wringer for this fest entry:)

Work adapter! Work!

[Raw and Vital]

Crap! I was really looking forward to your entry...

[jeremytuttle]

Wow, just saw that you won't be able to make this one. I hope you get to make it eventually. Good luck with the back up idea (I want to see that adapter at work)

[Ted Arabian]

backup Drama-fest entry?

Intriguing!

Also, I didn't realize that you were working on an adapter. Are you seriously shooting a "backup" entry and using your adapter? Curious to know!

[Inexistence]

Yes, Ted Arabian! It's most likely going to be a little improv, nice camera angles and
wee bit of CC to finish it off. One day shoot and a couple of days to edit. I almost
have the poster done here and I'm anxious to get the thread up and running!
