JANUARY 15th 2008 - POSTER'S FINALLY UP. Had 2 to chose from and this one won out. It was close though.

Okay, everybody, I'm back. I had so much fun in the last fest, that I decided to jump back in.

I hope to tell this story in a very different and unique way. This short will be part 2 of a 4 part series. Script is finished and will begin shooting in Jan. Poster and BTS to come soon.

I used some green screen for the shoot, set up in my garage. Like I said, the first time I've used it as a director. I've had a camera crew of 2-3 (including me), but everything looks good so far.


Reserved for extra stuff.

Jan. 12th 2008 - Over the weekend, I got most of the cast together for a photoshoot. I had my best
friend's wife take the pics and she did a GREAT job. She's been trying to do the
photography thing for about a year, although she's always loved to take pics. The
pics were so good that I was able to do 2 posters in 2 days. That ain't never, ever
happened before! LOL. They're both pretty good, but then I always think that
at first and then end up hatin' 'em.

Also, supposed to shoot the first half this weekend. Will keep the updates coming
and will post the poster and pics this week.

February 6th 2008 - Screen grabs/Raw, no cc'd yet. These are pics from all the chapters. Each chapter focuses on a couple.

Is part 1 done already or are you making like George Lucas and filming the stories out of order?

Either way, best of luck with it.
 
Interesting. Part 2 of 4. Are you going to shoot the whole series at the same time or all at different times?

Tim.

Nope, part 1 is not done yet. The stories go in succession to each other, so I could shoot them in any sequence or order (because they all involve different people), but in the end they have to be in order, 1-4. It's kind of like the movie "Crash" in a sense that it involves different characters in different stories that have a connection.

Thanks, Chris. Looking forward to yours.

Tim, I plan to shoot them all at the same time. I do have quite a few locals, but I'm just worried about casting the right actors to pull it off. I've got half already and still on the search for the leading women.

Glad to see you're back in the fray... I really enjoyed 'The Unassumed'
Looking forward to seeing what you do this time around.
:thumbsup:
 
Thanks, Luis. I hope to do even better this time around. I learned a little bit from the last fest. that I think has helped make me a better filmmaker.

BTW - Your pic is hilarious. . .ooops! That's not really you, is it?
 
Luis, if you ever change your Avatar from chewy, I'll ban you.

leenewton,
good luck to you on your entry, man. I like the concept. It's a shame I'll have to wait for however long to be able to watch all four in succession. I'm kinda impatient :)

Best of luck to you in this fest.

later,
Jason
 
Oh, that's Chewy?! I knew that face looked familiar. The hat threw me off.

Jason, if I get to film them all at the same time like I hope, I may have the other parts for exhibition or post them on my site, so everybody can check 'em out. And I know what you mean, I'm impatient too. I haven't even started filming and I already wanna' see it!

OR, you could at least submit parts 1 AND 2 for this fest. Past festivals have had a "max 2 film" entry rule. I've been very tempted to put a 10 minute film together and then submit it as parts 1 and 2 a la Kill Bill style, just to get around the time limit, although I don't think the mods would be too happy about that. :evil:

Thanks, John. I may consider that too. The stories are connected, but then each one can stand on it's own as well, so if I entered 2 it wouldn't seem like they would both absolutely have to both be seen together to understand them individually.

That would be cool! I've considered that myself. Could hurt you in the voting though as it might split up your votes.
 
That's true, huh? I never thought about that. Well, we can't have that. I'm gonna' need all the votes I can get. LOL.


FYI - Got 2 posters done and trying to decide which one's best. Will post in the next day or so.
