Some behind-the-scenes photography:

Photos by some of the cast...

Stage Blood

The actors all HATED it... and I don't blame them! It was messy and sticky and they were all very uncomfortable... especially the female lead who was the bloodiest for the longest period of time. When we wrapped everyone couldn't wait to get to the showers. Oh, and they're all planning their revenge now... they want to cover Tony (the director) in stage blood and make him roll around in the grass! LOL

Coming soon: More behind-the-scenes information and photography...

Idea/Story Outline complete: September 3rd
Storyboard complete: September 18th
Props ordered: September 21st
Movie casting: September 3rd
Movie recasting: October 2nd

Filmed: October 3rd
We had scheduled this date back on September 3rd... however, the night before, on the 2nd, Weather.com was calling for all kinds or rain and thunder storms. We were very stressed about it, as it seemed we couldn't get everyone together on any other day and even started to consider a rewrite. LUCKILY, mother-nature cooperated (for the most part) and we ended up with an overcast day, but only a little rain that was easy enough to work around.

Welcome to the fest

Thanks Rodney!

Hey Welcome! have the Exact sony DVD player and used it extensively on my last SD film. Its a life saver, plus the batteries last a long time and you can watch DVD's on it at the end of the day, also the way it flips around and lays flat makes it easy to hold :-)

Anyway, welcome to the contest and best of luck!

PS, great poster.

T,

That Sony DVD player is great... it was very easy to move around all day, and you're right, the batteries last a a long time. The only complaint I have about it is the reflective surface of the monitor itself... it's really hard to avoid glare.

Our goal for this fest is to take it to the next level, and so far, after reviewing the footage we got, I think we're on our way to accomplishing that. I should have some screen-grabs soon... we're going to start editing tonight!

Thanks!

Cool poster and grabs! Welcome to the fest and best of luck!

EditPhish · 10-05-2009, 09:00 PM

Thanks Zaza and Ramsaur!

We started editing tonight, and so far things are going well. I didn't get a chance to do any screen grabs, but will have some more time tomorrow so either JTyner or I will post some.

I always enjoy seeing all the outtakes... will be fun to put together a little gag reel for after!
