Auditions

So... We have our newest and very first video post up. We meant to get it to you guys last night, but final cut decided that rendering was no longer part of its job and adobe premiere allowed us to edit as long as we never had to playback our video. So after the hours of beating the programs into submission we finally finished our video post for you guys. Hope you like it.

Kickstarter update

Holy!!!!! Smokes!!!!! In six hours we were already a quarter of the way to our goal! This is so great. I just wanted to give a big thanks to all of you who are supporting us. When we called out for support we had no idea we would be met with such enthusiasm. So right now we have lots of conversations going on with our supporters on facebook and other mediums, so if you have any questions feel free to post them either on this blog, on facebook, or on our kickstarter page. We would love to hear from you. Also... expect an update on the blog tonight about our audition progress. Tonight is the first night of theater auditions for Hope college and almost every actor in the school will be there... and let me tell you... we have a lot of actors at this school. Thanks again!

Kickstarter Active and Casting

So it has been a while since my last post, but I am happy to say that quite a bit has been done since then. We have finally got our kickstarter up and active. Also we are scheduled to be casting this thursday and friday. After the auditions we should have a cast together by the end of the next week. Also we have put together a rough shooting/ preproduction schedule for the semester (so up until mid-December) and plan to have a 30 min rough cut by then. Of course like i said this is a rough schedule and it will change a bit after casting and when we lock down a crew. Also if you have not yet seen the kickstarter page, be sure to visit, and hey while you're at it maybe you could donate a buck or two. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/odoylerulz/solomon-a-student-film-project  Thanks for your support. 

Moving Forward

So things are moving forward. I have had several meetings with my assistant director and my script writer since my last post and am very happy to say things are moving along splendidly. We have several scenes written and have really made great progress in nialing down just who these characters are. Also I have recently written the script for the kickstarter and plan to have that up with a week or two. This part was a little later than I had hoped, but hopefully we can raise the money before we get to production. This means after casting, schedualing and obviously after we have a finished script. Things are looking up and I am excited to get started. There wasn't much to post this time, but I just wanted to let you guys know that things are moving forward and we are steps closer to making this film a reality.

Rough scenes

So three days ago I had received from my playwright some rough scenes that detailed main characters. Let me just say, I read it and I was amazed. When I asked Ben to write this script for me I knew I would get good work, but this blew my mind. If what I received was only a first draft of those scenes then I dare not dream of how amazing his final work will be. I could go on for a very long time about the many thoughts and feelings I have about this script, but because for now I dont feel like giving too much away, (especially so early in the stroy's production), I will leave it at the fact that the scenes were incredible. Soon I will be having another meeting with my playwright and assistant director to hash out character detail and I will fill you in as we hit those bench marks. Till then just know that things are looking up... way up.
