Could use a tutorial on how to post stills as I'd love to share

Load the still onto your website, in the resolution you want. Then post a link via the "Advanced Reply" There is a little yellow picture right under the "undo" button. Use that to "insert image" but it will want the link from your website.

I think the concept is that if your website is hosting the image, it's less bandwith and storage space for the message board. All my images from my thread are actually on redcollarstudios.com .

Thought I was going away? HA!

Got some footage on the that features two of our stars at a real Beat Battle...Dres Tha Beatnik and HeadRoc.

Got 2 days left but we're on a little hiatus as we've been in negotiations for a college campus and I think we've got one! I'll update y'all but very nice campus and full access to it.

So that will be one full long day as it requires some travel away from ATL but then after that we've got a short last day and we'll be a wrap!

Of course, still some 2nd Unit photography planned but the scripted scenes will all be completed.

I'll probably start re-filling earlier posts with lots of technical specs as soon as we wrap for those interested in gear and systems, etc.

Stay tuned...

Thanks. Got more stuff to roll out before then, like Poster, teaser, mixtape, official trailer, etc. So stay with me on it. Hopefully some press in the meantime as well. And along the way, I'll learn how to host photos so I can have them online here rather than relying on y'all having to go to the blog :)

What's the latest on your feature?

the cast and the atmosphere in the stills look formidable
i think you might be making a very entertaining movie
wishing you great success

We're done with the main movie. I need to send out an email today because were pushing the Atlanta Premiere back. Now we do still need a trailer and I need to finish the press kit, but that's it. Everything else is done. I'm trying to get started on a new feature. I was going to email you about it, because the movie has some hip hop in it, but then I remembered you were working with Battle and I didn't want to take your mind off of your project. I'm definately looking forward to seeing Battle, when do you think you guys will have it done - April-June timeframe?

Shoot me some info if you like. I keep my eye on the Battle ball but am still doing several other things as well. Wouldn't mind hearing about it at least and like I tell people, if I think I can help...I'll do it.

Good to hear you've completed it. I've got to get moving on the press kit too. So many angles I want to include and so many stories within the story of the movie...so hopefully I'll be able to do all the elements justice without it being just overwhelming and overblown with it.

Well, I hope we are able to get it mostly together by Jan. with some test screenings, etc. by then. I hope we're able to submit to a few fests in particular but we've got a few distribs who want to look at it too so we hope to strike before the iron gets cold...but certainly we do hope to have a final cut by Spring.

That said, shoot me an email about your new project. Like I said, if I'm able to help in some way, I'm willing to do it. My life is a juggle but when it comes to the film side (and especially Hip-Hop)...the more the merrier :)

Thanks so much for the kind words. Good luck to you on Red Queen as well.

You know I'm looking forward to hearing all about the AFM from you since I'm not able to attend this year.
