1/10/2012 - Almost done shooting

I have spent many many hours over the last 2.5 weeks animating and I have 9 shots left to shoot. I may re-work the edit a little bit which could add some shots, but the way the edit is today I have 9 shots left to shoot. I also will probably want to do a few reshoots but I'm moving forward with what I have for now.

I hope to finish shooting before January 20th and then I will begin working on the post-production. There is green screen work to do, a few elements to composite, color correction, flickering lighting to adjust. The usual. If reshoots are happening I'm guessing that will be around the end of May or early June, but the post work should be done by then so I'm hoping to get this film completed some time this summer!

Just a

few more

shots!

12/26/2011 - GO!

I finally started shooting again despite the "real world's" best efforts to keep me busy with other things! One thing I neglected to mention before is that I finally bought myself a lighting kit. This is awesome because I don't have to rely (beg) on others for proper lights. The bonus is that I can use them on OTHER films in the future when I finish "Do Not Push".

To the right is a picture of my new setup in the garage. Currently Talia is shooting all of her close-ups. Only one has been shot so far, but you have to start somewhere!

Garage = Studio!

12/19/11 - Last set under construction!

The biggest thing missing from this film is one of the sets. This set is used in about half of the film, so it's kind of a big deal not to have it. With that said, the set is under construction and close to being completed.

It's not much but I don't want to give too much away. To the right is a teaser pic for this location.

12/16/11 - It's been a while!

Life has a funny way of keeping you busy and sooner or later you realize it's been 2 years since you worked on your film! Well, I finally have some time again so I'm getting back to it. The reason for the hiatus was moving, getting married, and a lot of overtime work. All good things, but now it's time to get back to business. I'm getting setup in my garage and should begin shooting again in a matter of days. Stay tuned for more!

12/25 - Almost Half Done!

Talk about slow progress. Even though I haven't updated the site since the beginning of October I was still working on the film. However, I didn't animate anything from 11/14 - 12/23. Luckily I have a few days off of the film I'm currently working on so I'm able to get back to shooting! I have a few shots to do in order to have the second half of the film shot, but I should be able to have half of the film animated before the new year starts as long as nothing big gets in the way.

It's good

to be

back!
