I had to make the Dr older because she was too pretty as a youngster.
I decided to give the Red Cut Out stuff a try but it didn't work well in Moviestorm and there's no way to adjust what you want cut out. Tried it in my video editor as well and that had different but no better results. Will check out more post production software to see if any of it can do the cut out, otherwise we are just going b&w.
So did a test of the b&w. It's a rough cut of the intro and first scene of Issues. I have it password protected on vimeo and the password is : thedark
Good work Michael. The one crash of thunder overwhelmed the dialogue at that point. I couldn't hear what was said. Other then that. Good production so far.
Really good. What I would suggest is probably fix the lady since she looked like a guy to me.
Just Murdered by Sean Elwood (Zombie Sean) and Gabriel Moronta (Mr. Ripley) - (Dark Comedy, Horror) All is fair in love and war. A hopeless romantic gay man resorts to bloodshed to win the coveted position of Bridesmaid. 99 pages. https://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b-comedy/m-1624410571/
Wow, good stuff, Michael! It looks fantastic as is. The b/w works well with the storm effects.
Yeah, nice voiceover Pia! And the guy has a cool voice too.
The whole concept looks as good as any video game cut scene.
If you need any more voice for anything, Michael, let me know. I might be able to do a passable UK accent. I could even try a New Jersey one, as i have talked like that before when driving around the States - our RV had Jersey plates so we used to pretend we were from there! 'Hey, you from New Joisey? Gimme a dollar'...
Here's some screenshots with a new sleeker look and red cut out. This is likely the final look.
On the music front the Death Metal people are difficult to deal with. I have a prospect that's interested in doing music for the soundtrack but we'll have to see how it goes. Ask around if you know people in metal bands.
Nearly through with the production part of Issues. Then it will go into post. Issues has all of it's assets so I should be able to piece it together rather quickly once the time comes to do so. (I would have finished it today if I didn't have to edit the Lloyd interview - which took five hours. Not that I'm complaining it was a good show and Pia did a great job)
Next up for production will be The Environmentalist, which has a couple of interesting challenges. I did however get permission to use the Dark Metal Carol of the Bells as part of the soundtrack and some leads to other Dark Metal Christmas carols. So at the very least it should have excellent voice work and a great soundtrack.
Pretty much finished up production on issues. Just a little more fiddling about with the emotions of the puppets and it will be ready to render then finally in post-production.
The funny thing I'm learning is it takes much longer to produce a drama using Moviestorm than it does to produce a comedy. The reason, I think, is that the puppets need to act a lot more for a drama (which means many more gestures and actions need to be added) where in a comedy the most important thing is the timing of the lines.
I started on The Environmentalist. Here's the cast. I'm using Moviestorm 1.4., the new version, so I have a bunch of new looking characters. Onto cutting up voices.
Looks great Michael. Almost want to rewrite the script a little based on that scene. You will be the first, and probably the only, to produce one of my scripts.
