Ok, so here goes my first stab at the poster.

It may be the case with Xmas in the way, that I dont have time to get this ready for Dramafest, but I'll do my best.

So far I have the structure worked out, but no actors, locations or anyone on board. So there's a lot of work to do yet :-)

I'll keep this updated as I get nearer or futher away from the goal!
 
Good luck, old chum.

I'll try to get my film ready to 'take you on' this time.

No postings until January for me though.
 
Welcome to the festival. Best of luck to you, man. I like the poster, by the way. It works for me. You have a synopsis coming soon?

Aye Carrummmmmba, I hate mosquitos. Are you going to have that late night buzzing in your ear through out the movie?
 
there's definitely something calming about the picture and you hit the title, and kablamo... Something unnerving.

I dig your poster :)

Cheers!

Hey Yeen, I fully expect you to make something good, if not, our friendship is over. However, if you make something better than mine then our friendship is also over. If you sleep with my nan again then our friendship is over.

Ramjet, thanks for the welcome. I entered Horrorfest with a week to go and I promised next time I would give myself a lot more time (it actually worked out being under pressure, but I dont want to go thru the 18 hour days again....). I really hope I can get what I want done for this one. If not I'll be entering 6 minutes of bars and tone to compensate.....

Stinkpot - I wish this was my DVX. This is from my Canon 350D, but I dont think there's a rule that the poster has to be shot on the DVX - I hope not or im disqualified already!

Aram, you're way ahead of me. There is buzzing at some points in this movie, but dont let the title fool you...

Edgen, cheers guy, you know I love your posters!!! so thanks a lot. Are you not joining us for Dramafest?

Now I've put the poster up it's odd but I feel a sense of urgency! Before this I was like... yeh yeh Dramafest, I'll get round to it. And now I'm thinking 'Oh God, I really have to do this now'.....

I don't know the rules but the picture itself is a nice composition, I really like it and the poster design.

:thumbup::thumbup:
 
whats in the bag? Well Im not entirely sure myself yet......

Im happy with the structure, but there are a few problems I need to iron out before I even put the dialogue in..... and then theres a lot of work involved.

Thanks for the suport everyone! This is going to be a totally different feel and style to Halfway, but hopefully it'll still be interesting for some.

My current plan is to have it scripted and cast for xmas with all the locations sorted out. Film early Janurary and then edit to the wire before the deadline. It'll be close methinks.

I really would like to work with some orchestral composer for this one, but it's going to be a hard push as I doubt I'll have anything to score to until mid-jan..... hmmmmm
 
Darkline, I really like your poster and banner and use of colors in the title. I do think the Last feels a little "week", but it makes the Mosquito pop out more, which is probably a good thing.

Sounds like you are going to have a hectic schedule man. I really liked Halfway, so I can't what to see this one. Good luck.
 
Karl! So glad to see you in the fest. So, what's the plot? A mosquito shoots out
of a burlap sack? An albino mosquito nicknamed, "Eric" corners someone in the
room? Am I close?
 
Thanks to one and all.

Charli, Im afraid I might have to can this idea now as you're far to close to my idea. I have only one, it involves a sack, Well, that wasnt my idea as I nicked it... :-)

Actually I really like the idea so far but I dont want to give anything away right now. I mean, come on it's only 6 minutes :-) I think you'll just have to wait and see

all i will say is it might not be set in summer and there may or may not be any mosquitos in it, or 'of's'

im rambling cos I have nothing to post right now, which means I really should be working on this.........

Jeremey and Herman - thanks. I will try my best to get this in shape for Jan :-)
 
Hey Karl, Great to see you in. I CANNOT wait to see what you bring to follow-up Halfway.

And I am so delighted that you are giving yourself so much more leeway this time around.... give you plenty of time to screw it up so you don't kick my a$$ again in filmmaking!!! :grin:

Seriously, Great to see you back on the boards... gonna be another fun fest!

And your poster is lovely. Such a nice balance and calm to it. Did you colorize some of those leave or did you find a tree with green AND brown leaves on it???

-Ted
 
Oh God, I really have to make something now.... Thanks Ted and Paul :-). But dont expect too much!! You know, in those dark hours where you'd rather play your xbox 360 than get up off your ass and work, this REALLY helps. Everyone is very encouraging and I do appreicate it...

The last time I came across such a supportive community was in Crack rehab.

Thanks all...I'm on it!!!
