'Its room now'

Some of us still haven't shot a single frame so you're looking sweet with doing a reshoot already! Post some frames when you do so we can compare with your originals posted here!
 
What software are you using for the stop-mo? I've gotten good results with Monkey Jam... I animated ground beef in a pan for the last short I did where this lady loses her grip on reality and a meat-face appears in the pan she's cooking with and starts giving her advice. The effect turned out rather convincing.
 
I appriciate the compliments and consolation guys, For the stop motion? Well right now since I don thave access to final cut pro(until next week) I've been screwing around with windows movie maker. Yeah its not that precise but I get to **** around with some footage and get a better idea how things will look.

Interestingly enough i got an e-mail this orning from the previous actress I was using. Didnt bother to open it, just deleted it.

After 3 calls over the course of about 2 1/2 hours yesterday, which I know is her day off and getting no response, I just said '**** it'. I'm trying to create something here, and I dont you involved. I dont want to hear any excuses or anything from her, so I'm just moving on and trying to remain focused.

I'm gonna pick up today with a friends sister who A: I can trust and B: is great company.

I'll see about posting some shots tonight for you gents.
 
Any poster in the works? I hear ya' about getting good talent on the cheap sometimes you just gotta make due with what you got and gently coax a decent preformance out of them.
 
Ok well I'll have some new stuff to show in a few days. Might need to do a smidge of reshooting here and there.

The stop-mo POV's I've done so fare are look pretty damn good. I need to lengthen a few of these shots some more, they add a nice 'weirder than fu<k touch' to my short.

I'd say I'm roughly 75% completed with production. But I need more suspense mixed in here. Gotta make it nice and creepy.

Mulling over having a trailer on youtube. But I dont want to give anyoene else any ideas for the contest. Sorry boys, :P

Hey man! Don't forget that you're not allowed to plug / advertise your film elsewhere until the fest is over.

:evil: :Drogar-Happy(DBG): :Drogar-Shock(DBG):
 
Duh! Sorry, iI forgot about that,*smacks self in head* Thanks Spooky.

I finished all the filming. Just need to get to work on the animation and other weirdness now. Looks like I'm gonna have arun time of about 4 minutes even, credits included. Will post a few stills tomorrow!
 
and here are some stills, some are from the 'stop mo' shots That I was 'Raimi-ing' around with, th eothers are from the dumpgy digi cam. I got a lot of really nice shots and I'm pretty happy with the rough cut I've got. but I cant wait to be able to do some perfecting this week.

So we'll see hwo things go, heres my actress and a misc shots. shes pretty pale so I opted to 'Goth' her up some.has a nice look on camera I think :)

Your eagerness and enthusiasm is great, don't let problems stop your drive. If you involve yourself in the indie business long enough, you'll certainly deal with actor/actress problems and excuses regularly.

Your stills look very intriguing, you certainly have my attention.

Keep Going!
 
The music I'll be using wont be conventional thats for certain. As a matter of fact the music I'll be using wont be made using any instruments of any kind either. No, I'm not gonna beat on a rock with a twig.

What I intend to use for a soundtrack is...You'll have to wait and see :P Only hint I can give is it starts with an 'E'.
 
I so what I can. My current problem is that I'm kind of 'drained' right now.First week of school has begun and what not. I intended to start editing on campus and fine tweening what I've got but I havent really been able to build up an 'urge'.

I'll most likelly get some work done on friday. I've got so many little things I suddenly want to do right now as well.

But I wont indulge those desires until I finish all this editing and what not.So much to do..so little time to do it.
 
Hang in there, when I get drained from a project I will let it sit awhile and do something else to unwind, then it hit it hard after resting a day or so. Sometimes it helps to just step back and reevaluate your options. You still have a month to finish don't burn out too soon.
 
Hey, man. I finally got a chance to go through your thread. I'm trying to get into the Hallows threads some more now.

Just wanted to say welcome to you, and it looks like you've got some interesting ideas, and what looks to be a potentially unique short. I'm very interested in seeing how you progress.

Please keep it up.
Take care,
Jason
 
Thanks for your support gents. I'm not used to people actually showing much interest in what I do (Cept Mark :cheers:). I intend to post some more stills to at least show off a little more of whats going down.
 
ah, what the hell here are a few more stills.
