"Stupendous" a Beyond Reality Picture

Dude, I would love to see a little "Making of" or even a series of still showing the process both of designing your poster and compositing the sky in your screen grab.

Thanks guys. I would love to, but honestly, it's such a tedious and inefficient process (the way I do things), I don't know if I have the patience to go back and take 2 dozen screen grabs of me making it and write explanations. This may sound lazy, I'm really sorry, but since I entered the fest so late (fest announced November, I decide to make something mid January) I'm working round the clock on production. But thank you for the encouragement.
 
you know... I had considered using the tagline from Superman on my movie, but then decided on something funnier. Glad to see your take on it. It really works very nicely.

FRUSTRATION!!! Here it goes, the list of things that suck:
- Okay, so, firstly, organizing people's schedules sucks.
- The fact I have no rehearsal location sucks.
- Tonight I tried setting up some lights to do a green screen test, to discover I have burned out bulbs. Tomorrow I have a gig from 8am to 4pm (no lights needed thank god) but then a gig from like 5:30 to 10, in which I NEED LIGHTS! And the drive from location A to location B is a little over an hour. Also, there's a REALLY good chance that no place in San Diego will have 3 SYLVANIA 500W 3200K bulbs.
- Today I bought a small LCD HDTV from Best Buy to use as an external monitor (I'll be shooting a large chunk in a home, outlets everywhere), only to discover that the one I purchased, discounted a little due to previously being opened, is MISSING A REMOTE AND ALL CABLES AND PAPERWORK!!! IT'S JUST A TV!!!

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!

  • Star Wars was nearly scrapped half-way through production.
  • Poop happens! But it makes ye strong!

I hear ya brother, as a fellow kinda superhero filmmaker I can tell you that:
1. Yes, scheduling does suck.
2. Rehearsals? what's that? (Rod, you better not blow this...no pressure.)
3. The biggest problem I have found when producing something you are also directing is that I spend so much time dealing with the small BS (cuz someone has too) that actually directing can take a back seat, yesterday it seemed like that was about 10% of my day.
Good luck man, hope you are able to overcome all of your obstacles!
 
really nice poster, did you do HDR photographs to achieve that look? also, when do we get a trailer for the movie? :)

Thanks. Nope, just lots of photoshop time. Sadly no trailer will be seen before the premiere. 2 reasons, 1, it's a comedy that's about 5 minutes long, if I make a 30 second trailer I'll probably have to waste all my jokes and it'll kill the viewing experience. I mean shorts are basically full-length-trailer length anyway, right? And 2, I'm not done shooting till the 18th, and then have a video shoot and editing job immediately afterward before I get to edit my own film, so the odds are I'll finish this one RIGHT on time for submission cut off. Sorry.
