Screenshots from first day of shooting... now we have to wait a month to film the other 3/4 of the film, should be an interesting couple of weeks before deadline.

Non-cc screenshots from 2/28 reshoots, I wish everything in-between looked this good.

ps. welcome
 
Added a cast member, most likely to star, used Tony in our 48 Hour Film Entry this year and he was amazing and thought it would be fun to use in something that wasn't quite as rushed.
 
I'm not normally into satisfying dudes needs but I will make an exception for you Rod, you know you're in. I am going to put some ideas down and send them to you.
 
OK, it is coming together, a first draft script has been done, I figure we will let that sit for a couple days before we take another stab at it.
 
First, Chris...let me just tell you that your title fails. I don't like it. Think of something more fluffy and less racially offensive.

Two...I fear your team is destined for failure.

So having said that, I'm stoked to be a part of this film!!
 
Hey Chris, a funny thing happened on the way to the lossfest. We're making rather similar projects, lol. My short is conceptually the same thing, a superhero who has lost his powers. I'm taking it in a comedic direction though, is yours a drama, or also a comedy?

(by the way, REALLY looking forward to seeing it, I wonder if the makers of "VOLCANO" and "Dante's Peak" felt the same way?) :)
 
Not Speaking for Chris, but we're taking the dramatic route. I almost **** when I saw your thread. So I guess we're the Deep Impact to your Armageddon. :)

Looking forward to seeing the different takes though. :beer:
 
It is entirely possibly that you are taking the "actually a good movie" route as opposed to what we end up with, time will tell!
 
:D I am actually excited as well to see two different takes on the same starting concept! I think it will be cool to see how each of you tackles it!

Good luck with Blackout (yeah...I'm offended by that title too)! :grin:
