Hi everyone, we've just begun our kickstarter.com launch for our feature-film in production: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD or: HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE APOCALYPSE

We're about 60% done with principal and I just wanted to thank this forum for teaching me so much over the last 2 years and inspiring us to make this film, we're not looking to raise very much, just enough to help pay the talent for the rest of the shoot and a few odd lens rentals and a location fee.

Thanks everyone!
 
I assume the explosion sound is missing?

EDIT: Duh, just had to look down.

I think a trailer would work better than a dialogue scene. Shouldn't you have enough material to put something like that together yet?

EDIT: I do like the actual use of anamorphic. Looks far better than crops, IMHO. I hate it that more websites with video simply have to have their video-sized box and to hell with you if your video doesn't fit the proportions.
 
Thanks Gary - we have shot about 100 pgs so we have a lot, I've strayed from doing a straight up trailer because our story has two interweaving storylines and we've shot 90% of the first one but only a little bit of the 2nd storyline (that's what we're raising funds to finish shooting), so I was worried that it might not be fully representative, however if you think it might work better I'd be fully willing to cut a trailer that focuses on just the first part of the story - what do you think?
 
I would make a trailer. It looks good, and I love the technical aspect with the anamorphic shooting, but I don't think the technical impressiveness will necessarily fly with as many people as you need to help complete your film. The dialogue scene just doesn't do it for me story-wise, as it doesn't tell me what I need to know. That said, your trailer doesn't have to include every aspect for a 100% representation of the story (just think of all the professional trailers that don't really paint an accurate picture of the film...Inglorious Basterds anyone?) You can always cut a new trailer later on when you have more footage. Just make that best "whiz-bang" trailer you can with the elements you have and get people excited for your project.
 
Will do Gary - looks like I have a new weekend project - I will post here a preliminary one and get some feedback before reposting it to Kickstarter. Thanks so much for your input and for following us. The anamorphic has been an heck of a thing to learn how to execute, but I do love shooting that way (well, I like the result, it's a pain in production!)
 
Yeah, I bet focusing is a nightmare...but hey, there has to be something to separate the men from the boys, right? :grin:

Absolutely! Go hard or go home! You just can't pass up an opportunity to shoot true anamorphic on a big sensor at this price point, it's tough but man when you nail a nice anamorphic shot the results make it all worthwhile.
