Casting and Scouting Locations

4.23.09
Been narrowing down locations. Might have found the one. Going to go check it out this weekend.

4.27.09
If it does not rain tomorrow I am going scouting!

4.28.09
No Rain, went location scouting and was great! Check out the 3rd page for pictures.

5.14.09
Well the Mount Driskill location might get knocked out of the way. Going to be impossible to find the owner of the place.
Don't want to get us in trouble, but the good news is there is a few location similar to that location I just thought of.
And they are less distance away so we get to save some money. -- Also Casting should be starting VERY SOON!!!

5.15.09
Shooting in a Park. All locations will be in the park. Makes us cast and crew much easier to get around so all locations locked down and crewing and casting should begin tomorrow!!

5.16.09
Crewing has begun! Hoping to start casting by next week.
Have a shot of shooting on the RED ONE!
Shooting May 31 and June 1!

5.18.09
Casting has begun and so far so good!

5.20.09
Crewing began yesterday and is following up today looking great!

5.29.09
Crew, Cast, Locations, and just about everything else is complete!
We're shooting this sunday and monday! Wish us luck!
EDIT: ahh crew fail! Contacting crew to get crewed back up. Going to be hard with a short notice.

5.30.09
WOW! Talk about staying up all night trying to get your crew replaced. But hey it happened.
Was hard because it's a no pay film but got them all back! Except lighting. So it's just me and the DP for now.

5.31.09
No lighting guy. Thank goodness someone on the crew does, so it's me and the DP lighting.
Today and tomorrow (June 1) we are shooting! Wish us luck!!

6.01.09
Wrapped this morning! Everything turned out great!
Check BTS still below. Grabs coming soon!

6.04.09
Grabs are here! Check 3rd post.

6.10.09
Check out More Grabs on 3rd post! These are the last of the grabs I will show!
Also, looks like we're going to need to do one reshoot. One scene is just too dark and we lost our light.
Will shoot that next week and do some ADR this friday! It's all coming together very nicely!

7.02.09
Took a break from the touch ups of editing back on the 10th of June and pulled a 2nd entry / musical together.
Now I'm done editing. Uploaded. Awaiting Approval.​

Very intrigued by the story line

Very intrigued by the story line

This is not the usual fare. I think this has the potential to be a very unique and compelling hero story. Would love to hear more. Let me know if you want music.

Regards and bon voyage,
Stephen

Hey mate,
Best of luck on the project.
The credit crunch ate my broadband, so at the library right now.
Hope thing's shape up well for you!
