COLD CALLS by John Whalen featuring Blanchard Ryan (OpenWater) & Ben Bailey (CashCab)

No worries, I do know the stress of production :)

We are re-working the script ... since we've pushed it out as a standalone product, we are making it a longer piece (15 - 20 minutes) and will try to use it to raise funding to shoot the feature version at a later date. We have a connection for a couple name actors so if we can get them interested that will be a huge benefit to this plan :) I'll still pass it on your way once we get to that stage.

BTW - the poster image you sent me, is that the res you created it at? Or did you make it larger and size down to post? If larger, any chance you can send that as I'd love to have it printed.
 
We are considering re-editing In Extremis for this fest by combining footage from Threading the Needle. It should be awesome.
 
Wow. How did I miss this. 2 days ago, huh? Hm. How brilliant is this? I am PUMPED OUT OF MY MIND. What a great cast and crew as well as a fantastic script. I am REALLY looking forward to this! :)
 
Wow what a poster! haha! -- Would've liked to see the mouth retain the color of the phone.

Haha!

Great looking crew and cast, man. So ready to see this.
 
Thanks everybody - looking forward to it as well/

Kyle, really? I had it that way initially but didn't thing the blue popped enough / didn't provide a nice contrasting color to take into the rest of the design / wasn't as creepy. Thanks for the feedback, if you would though, what do you think in an actual comparison?

inquiring minds wanna know ...
 
Jack, at first glance I thought the all blue one was too uniform but upon further inspection I actually think I like it better. It is more fluid. But, what do I know about poster design?
 
Cool. Thanks.

I wanna hear from Kyle as well since I don't know anything either and he's been studying this stuff.

What if the lips and everything were blue but inside the mouth was normal colored?

I think I would like that better than the full colored version, but I would have to see it to compare to the all blue one. I guess the problem for me is the transition between the mouth and the phone. It looks too stuck on there and I think your proposed edit would change that.

Kyle is definitely a pro, I just thought I would toss in my two cents.

I actually think the image is fine.. could maybe use some color tweaking... but yeah it's a really funny image. The type is what needs an overhaul! I can take a crack at it if you want.... send me the PSD... mike@beginningmiddleend.com.

Don't spend too much time unless you are really enjoying yourself. These images might not be right down the road as I refine the production concept, I just had to get something "grabby" up now rather than later :beer:
