FAT MONSTER FILMS presents "O2" ... Every. Breath. Counts.

Uncharacteristically for us, we've pretty much kept our mouths shut for this project. However, now that we are less than two weeks from shooting and just over a month from the finish line it seems appropriate to start sharing a little more.

Blaine, Tim, Bullis and I were able to work out some preliminary camera positions and blocked out some shots at the sound stages where we're going to be filming. Here's a quick snap Bullis shot of us on one of the sets:

I heard about this, but you are still leaving out one important detail.

Damn, now I really want to go out. Hmmm, my options are, miss my GF'S birthday and be single when I get back, or get single before I go...

Edit: Well I'm not being entirely fair to her. She told me she would not mind if I missed her B-Day, if it would be good for me to go. But when I looked, plane tix are kind of out of my range at the moment. Dang.

We'll give you floor space and feed you, Mark. You just have to get the plane tix and pay for booze if (when) we go through what's in the house. Come on out man!
 
Set looks great! Hope everything works out. But actually I've got no doubts. Your threads are truly inspiring.

This fest I am also gonna finish my entry :) Shot it on saturday. Of course I am no competition at all for you :D Last fest you raised the bar really high already. Looking forward to this one!
 
Simon, I have no doubt that your entry will kick butt. That's great that you wrapped your shooting.

We are still trying to get out of the harbor.

Thanks Mark! Right now continuity is really annoying me. Man, why didn't someone tell me in the first place that filming is so hard ? :D

Good luck for your navigation!
 
Crew Listing

Crew Listing

We have our crew in place and believe we have all the necessary bases covered. We are particularly gratified to have several DVXUSERs flying in for the shoot. Friday May 23rd will be a pre-light session with Levie Isaacks ASC and we will be shooting all day Saturday and Sunday (24th-25th) at Laurel Canyon Stages in North Hollywood.

We are delighted to have a team experienced with shooting on the RED ONE (Geoff Reisner, Matt Garrett and Kholi Hicks). We're hoping to have a truly good looking short as we will be shooting 4k and will be using the very nice ZEISS cinema primes (16mm, 24mm, 40mm, 50mm and 85mm) that Matty G. rode to victory with in the last fest. Many many thanks to Sam Druckerman at Red4kLA.com for assisting us.

The script has been tightened up considerably in revision 11 and I particularly want to thank Jack Daniel Stanley and Barry Green for their notes and guidance.

We are trying hard to learn from the many mistakes that we have made in the past and continue progressing as film makers and as a production company.

One pledge we will make is that Fat Monster will ALWAYS have its doors open to DVXUSERs and we welcome any of you to join us on our shoots here in Los Angeles at any time. Accommodations are spartan but the camaraderie is always good with egos properly deflated. Our casa is your casa (and if things get too crowded we'll spill over to Luis' place).
