Joystick Films Presents.....The Puppeteer

Real Swat team members on board. Of course I can't show their faces. But they have the guns (Not real) the gear and attitude to pull off what I need them to do. They don't have any lines either. All they have to do is go to work. shooting begins january 24th!!
 
Real S.W.A.T. on board. Nice. they'll at least follow proper entry procedure and make your job a lot easier. It should look real enough and that's half the battle.

That is what I am hoping. I am meeting with them tonite to discuss the details. I was hoping to use police officers but S.W.A.T. riot gear looks waaaay better than standard issue uniforms. Now I just have to make a good film. :Drogar-Smoke(DBG):

I like the look of your cast. Sounds like an interesting story, I will be sure to check it out!
 
Hey,

I read the post about everything going wrong...that sucks man! But, I think it happens to everyone at one point or another. I'm glad to see you are pushing forward with it and finishing the film!!! And I think the screen grabs look awesome!

If it makes you feel any better I once shot a short film and due to an error by the cam op none of the footage was usable (way too dark)...really demoralizing but I lived through it. :beer:

Looking forward to the finished product!

Interesting grabs! I would also recommend altering the red channel or do a selective color correct of some of these images in order to darken the blood on the shirt. It draws the viewers eyes to it quickly in the wrong way. Other than that, it seems like you guys have a sturdy production set up. I look forward to seeing the film. :thumbsup:
 
all in all it's looking good, despite your adventures in casting. That's a rough one, but you pulled through and that itself is a success. Great job on that. Can't wait to see this and hear it. From the work Francesco has already submitted for FALLING UP, I know you're going to have an awesome score.
 
Thanks for the comments. I could not get those damn images unsqueezed. The blood on the shirt looks terrible hopefully I can work it out in post. When it was first applied it looked great. Real Dark then it started to dry. LOL. I did not even notice until I started to edit. Oh well, If Wee can't fix it I will prepare myself for the blood bath when viewing opens.:Drogar-Evil(DBG):
 
Dude, you had a hospital to shoot in??????

Read about the disasters in the other thread, but will be curious to see you pull it out.

Jack Stanley, who is kind of the resident legend, has had some rocky shoots, but pulled it together. His New Orleans shoot for SpyFest was tough. So will be curious to see what you do with it.
