Friday, Sept 23 - I've started crewing up and have set October 8th & 9th as production days. Storyboards are now underway along with a few minor script changes. Looking at locations tomorrow and taking lots of photos.

No one has seen this one, but Rodney.

Maybe we'll still see an unstoppable Zaza / Flying Monkey horror monstrosity. I'm sure a few people would like to see that.

 

[Noel Evans]

Good luck Rodney. After watching you go with the web series... let's just say expectations are high.

 

[ZazaCast]

What... no poster yet? :happy:

 

[Matt Harris]

Welcome back Rodney!

 

[Anthony Todaro]

Can't wait to see what you guys are brewing!

 

[Rodney V. Smith]

Good to be back guys. I'm firing up the old marketing machine and getting things running again for this film. We're already fully cast for the Toronto shoot and I'm already working on storyboards so the crew knows what the hell we're looking to shoot and how. There are going to be a good number of slider and dolly shots (as per my current style of shooting) and some very exact camera moves.

Cameras under consideration: AF100, RED EPIC or failing any arrangements: the old standby: Canon Rebel T2i. Still going to rent some lenses in any case and there is a nice set of Zeiss Compact Primes I'll be renting for the weekend of the production, whatever camera we end up using.

Official poster will be shot and assembled over the weekend.

Good to see you guys again!

Good luck Rodney. After watching you go with the web series... let's just say expectations are high.

Damn you Noel! Damn you and your expectations! Now I HAVE to rock it to the best of my abilities...

 

[AJ Brooks]

Bring it Rodney! Woot!

 

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

And he's back. Good luck, Rodney!

 

[Rodney V. Smith]

And he's back. Good luck, Rodney!

Thanks Mike! Taking location pictures today and organizing the script read. It's my first entry with someone else's script so let's see how I go about interpreting the word of Keaton. :grin:

That guy's poo pooing crazy!! Be careful, I sense this ending up like an H.P. Lovecraft film.

:thumbsup:

 

[Rodney V. Smith]

Oh man Lovecraft is ALL OVER this script... that's kinda why I love it. It's insanity custom made for me!

Cast photos have been added.


Location has been locked down. We're filming the weekend of October 8-9.

 

[Rodney V. Smith]

hey look ma: NO GUNS! :grin:

 

[Rodney V. Smith]

Prepping for the shoot tomorrow. Had a few location changes and some curveballs coming my way, but let's see how tomorrow goes. Scheduling pickup shots for next week in anycase. At least then we'll have a completed edit and an idea of if we missed anything critical.

Now to start a war with Keaton... how best can I screw up his script? :happy:
