Interesting title and poster combination. Welcome to the festival. Best wishes for you ahead. Looking forward to your details.

Hey Steen! What are you looking for in the female lead? May have a suggestion or two for you, not sure.

I know you'll be using your HVX, but will you be shooting stock or using 35mm adapters?

Look forward to hearing more about your entry! :thumbsup:
 
I really like the photo on the poster. Really creepy. But I'd lose this font you've got there. Ruins the whole thing. The photo, is it yours??
 
Sorry you don't like the font VersuS. Did I tell you this was a drama about the improper use of a font? hehe, sorry. Thanks, the creative criticism really is appreciated. I'll consider a change.

Thanks, Norm - I am auditioning a couple of gals this weekend. Unfortunately, we are shooting in Idaho the day after Thanksgiving (yes, I do love a challenge [when i'm prepared for it.]). The girls I'm auditioning have great potential and are within a few hours of our locations.

We will be shooting this stock. Lenses just aren't in the budget, which, other than the cost of flying my special actor in, is pretty much non-existant. I'm just so fortunate that Jerry and I have so many resources already in the kit to draw from.

I am glad you took it as creative criticism, though I would not call it criticism after all, just a remark. It's just that the font struck me from the moment i laid my eyes on it, it screams 'digital matrix sci-fi' that stuff....and the photo on the other hand is more 'noir-ish'.

Maybe if you added some shadows to the title font to blend it better....just my 2 cents on this
 
Good luck, I too like the tagline and poster, makes me interested to find out what or who gives who or what a reason to survive.
 
Thanks for the great comments on the poster. Unfortunately, we've just had a set back. We lost an actor due to scheduling conflicts. The poster will be redone as soon he can be replaced.

With two weeks until we shoot, we're gonna need a lot of good fortune... whew!:shocked:

I hope it wasn't your lead, Ladyhazle! I am extremely interested in this film and was really impressed by Jeff Himes.

Thanks Mark! No, not my lead. Jeff is an exciting actor who has never let me down. I'll be sure to give Jeff your good words.

I have confidence that we will find a replacement for our secondary lead soon!

Whew! So glad to hear. Now I'm stoked all over again. Yes, please do pass on my enthusiasm and see if you can get him to join DVXUSER. It would be nice if more actors would be available to discuss their craft here and Jeff really is impressive. Thanks for those links on your main page to his work.
 
I'm trying to consider myself lucky right now that ALL, i repeat, ALL of the video auditions i have been going through have been awesome... however, only one can play the part... cripes, what a decision.

I think I'll ponder the possibilities over another Widmer Brother's Snow Plow Milk Stout. Heck, it IS Friday night...:beer:

On a more informative note: The new cast of "Improper Use" will be in place on Monday night. I have full confindence in this statement!!! :thumbup:

Poor little c-stand... it didn't have a chance against the big light and the poor film student that set it! haha. Glad it wasn't my grip equipment or my shoot.:huh:
 
Let the editing begin! Principal photography turned out AWESOME! I love it when things come together.

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! :beer:
