After a long hiatus I’ve finally decided to come out with a blog post. Here is what I’ve been working on all this time:
- KillerFilm – We’ve been really working hard to try and get Killer Film up and running properly. Most of my work has been on the programming (so yes IE7 users who see a messed up gob of junk can blame me for that). We will probably also be covering the next upcoming Texas Frightmare. We covered the last one and it was a blast, and this time we hope to have a bit more video equipment at our disposal so we can do live video updates.
- Trance – Written and staring John Fallon, and directed by Donny Broussard is a feature film about ravers who take a drug which turns them into crazed zombie-like monsters. Donny, John, myself, and others have been working on this for most of the summer, but it looks like a local studio wants to buy the script. So, in the end we may not actually end up producing it. For the sake of potential future business relationships, I’m being a bit vague, but lets just say some of us may have gotten burned on this one…so we are all just trying to get out of it. I may be wrong, and things will fall in place…but right now it looks like I may have made some bad decisions, and vouched for people who couldn’t deliver what they said they could deliver
- The Red Hours – Another John Fallon script, which this time Fallon will direct. Probably Donny and I will coproduce along with Canadian filmmaker, Christian Viel. I’m really excited to be working on this one as it will involve working with Christian, a very experienced producer, as well as being a fun action script. I tend to like action movies because they present the most unique chances for creative filmmaking for effects and stunts.
- The way to You - Donny Broussard is considering creating a full length version of a short he made in college called, “The way to you”…sans rotoscoping. The script is pretty funny, and with the right cast this one could be a pretty good flick. It’s one that is a little scarier for me though, since is a festival type flick. If you know anything about selling movies, then you know its way easy to sell even bad action and horror movies, than it is to sell a good comedy. Donny has a bit of experience on the festival circuit, but I don’t. Fortunately, though its almost entirely a dialogue based film, so we can keep the budget pretty low.
- This website – I’m hoping to get back into writing for this website much more regularly. I have so many more articles that brewing. Unfortunately, some of the really good articles are going to take me days to write and require me to actually go out and film and edit some video tutorials…and these days I’m having trouble finding the time to do that. So for now I’m going to focus on articles that can be covered without me having to break out the cameras. Immediately following this article I’m going to post an article about sound design for fight scenes.
And on that note, if you have any question regarding film production…or hell just about anything feel free to Contact me. Just know that if your question is good enough I’ll want to post my answer online (and I’ll link back to you if you have a website).
