FLOWER a flyin' monkey films production

Updates...hmmm...well lets see...Rodeny annoyed me with his grumpiness so I was forced to disembowel, dismember and discard his cranky ass.......hehe
But seriously...we are still awaiting news as to Mr.Director man's passport predicament...should he not be able to come back in time I'll be heading to Brooklyn to film there. So I have bags packed just in case...heh
 
Oh... I see... it's nice of you to give him a break, it's tough being 'Mr. Director Man'. Knowing how the gov't works, I'd plan on taking that trip, so pack extra jello!

Got an update from Rodney. They told him 4 weeks...so it looks like I'm heading to NYC. Good thing my passport isn't due for renewal until 2011! Heheh...

Hey Zaz! You should come down to NY and help out! :2vrolijk_08:

When is the shoot again?

...or maybe you should fly out of Albany and be in MY film too! (I have a second idea that's about two vegan lesbian vampire mummy's)

We're pulling for you guys. Y'all are having such a time. Short films shouldn't ever have to be this hard. Keep doin' the damn thing.
 
Uh huh...okay...so I'm going to NY.
Zaza is crazy, and a little bit of a perv.
I'll do your movie too if ya want...there's not a snowballs chance in hell I'm driving there though....unless you're paying for flight?

Ha... yeah, I think you'll have enough on your hands with THIS film. You guys have a lot to rearrange and I'm sure you'll create a masterpiece! I'm looking forward to it. Next fest maybe...I'd like to see about trying a multi-location flick where we each shoot scenes in our respective cities...could be fun?

Thanks Marlon. Good words to hear. I'll be doing a casting session this weekend and meeting the rest of our players, so I'll know what kind of shape we'll be in.

I actually did a realistic look at what we could pull off given the time and changes of circumstance and as a result I've done a complete overhaul of the project. There's too much going on with the werewolf movie and that's being made. No need to rush that film for monsterfest. So we've pushed back production on the Werewolf movie to October/November. I have some relationship building that I've been doing and need to keep that up with the people I've already contacted, and this isn't something I want to do half-assed.

SO with that in mind, Andrew and myself came up with a concept last night, slept on it and then wrote the script this morning. It's freshly minted and fully formed, with us realistically writing for the location we do have and actors we have access to (including props, and makeup needs). This new project is indeed called "Flower" and the title is a hell of a lot more appropriate since it is so crucial to the plot.

We're going to be playing with some greenscreen shots for our monster and I have some really cool things planned on how we're going to pull off these effects.

The feel I'm going for is a little rougher around the edges, so while there will be some dolly work, for some shots I'm planning on going handheld. I've been beefing up my rig so I kind of wrote around that fact.

We're going to be dealing with some specialized Tattoo-Makeup, so that's going to be interesting. Still trying to nail down the look for the monster but doing some test shooting this weekend. Should be awesome.

Anyway, gotta go put out my casting calls and scour through these headshots.

That could be very fun! Maybe if there's a Christmas type fest...we could do something...?

There's never been a Christmas fest before. It's usually the big three:
Halloween (horror, darker themes), spring (love and drama themes) and Summer (action, blockbuster type fare). But a Christmas fest would be mad fun. Or just pure madness since everyone is busy around that time with family and whatnot.
 
Santa goes on Strike! The Elves have pissed him off for the last time... would be interesting there... We can create our own crop of family movies.

Family Fest!
