October 7th: The Rains
A monsoon hits. Last night we filmed a scene where they wait out the rain with what shelter they can find.

October 8th: Various Sunrise
This morning I and George Boyer went out and got as many sunrise shots as we could while the sun was right.

October 10th:
Today I finished building a miniature that will be featured in one scene. I can't say what it is yet.

October 11-15:
I've been editing what we have so far. We need to shoot about 9 more scenes and that should be all thats needed. Its going to be close to the deadline.

Welcome to the fest, man. I like period and war pieces when they can be pulled off on low budget stuff.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Later,
Jason
 
Some of the most horrific stuff that ever happened is war related, I expect this will be no different. How far are you into production?
 
Thanks everyone for the interest! I'll be putting up some updates tommorow and later this weekend...

Movie Stunts...

We havnt shot anything yet. I've been doing some work building miniatures and getting uniforms and weapons together. We'll be shooting all of this weekend and a little bit next week.

Sounds like you're going the extra mile to get the right look. Keep it going, can't wait to see the outcome!

I'm trying to! Hopefully it turns out half as good as I'd like it to.


I've got some raw screengrabs up from this morning on the first page.

Check them out and tell me what you think.
 
Looks sick, cant wait to see it all done. War on a budget is always tough so I hope you pull it off.
 
Hey thanks everyone! I'm glad you think they look cool.

Looking good, I just hope you have enough room to CC.

Yeah I know what you mean. I got a little to excited about putting the master pedestal waaaaay down this morning...cause I just watched those opening scenes from the Godfather. I think it will end up working...but I'm going to start being more careful.

Shooting went well today. One of our actors who was supposed to be there couldnt make it so we shot in-between stuff and travelling scenes. Thats why you'll see the same actor is in most of the shots. Overall it went good. I'm looking forward to filming some more interesting action stuff....which should happen early next week.

But anyway...there are some new CC'd grabs on the first page. I'm going for a variety of looks...kind of a grindhouse style. Hopefully it will mesh well enough. Let me know what you think.
 
Yeah, I don't recommend shooting with the Master Ped way low... it just gives you no room to move around. The color graded grabs look pretty good though :)
