With the permission of Mike I'm going to film his short film "Mr. Gloom." I'm going to try and keep you all updated like Topher has with "Frozen."

I'm starting to storyboard/3D pre-viz everything and I should begin casting in early May. I'm going to be shooting with two shoulder mount miniDV cameras with a boom mic, a steadycam tripod, dolly, and a camera crane.

I'm going to edit it on Adobe Premiere and color grade with another software that I forgot the title of.

After all of that, I'm going to be sending it to every festival I can and then put it on the internet to buy on DVD.

The offcial website should be up with in the next few days, so keep a look out for that. It'll only be a teaser site until we get a cast together and some footage shot.

Heres a calendar of events for the film:

PRE-PRODUCTION:
April - Storyboarding/Pre-viz

May/June - Casting, location scouting.

June - Script practice

PRODUCTION

June/August - Shoot Film

August - Shoot pick-ups

POST-PRODUCTION

September -  Editing

October - Sound FX/Music

November/December - Color grade

January/December - Festival run

March - Online DVD Release
---------------------

I'll post more updates as things happen. Keep the film in your prayers/thoughts!

Awesome, on the note of "Frozen" it's been pushed back due to delays and work obligations.

I was wondering why there were no updates. Well, I hope everything works out with it. Will there be any way for us to see it?

Ah yes, after I finish shooting "Good Try We Don't Like It" we might shoot "Frozen" on the side.

Here's a teaser poster:

Do you have of your work posted online?

No, I don't.

This will be my first directing job. I'm producing, editing, and doing visual effects for an up coming film that my friend is directing. And I've been DP for three other films.

So I can't really say I have any work to post online. This'll be my first, and if it makes any money with festivals, I hope to put it toward producing a few more simply script short films and maybe a feature one day.

Good luck! It's nice to see scripts on this site make it to the medium they're written for.
How do you have access to all that nice equipment?

I saved up or sometimes only got one or two things for Christmas. Ha-Ha.

My true passion was/is to become a director. Then I figured I'd try this writing thing. Now I love it. So I want to do both. Write and Direct. So thats why I bought the equipment. Not because I'm an idiot. he he.

Thanks!

PS: I'm going to be contacting a few people over the next few weeks about their scripts if I think I can film it. Of course, I can't start making one while I'm making this, but its always good to start planning the film before you start anything.

I don't like always being the doom and gloom but this is for screenplay works in progress and not film. Just thought you should know that, good luck though.

No one said that about Frozen. But thanks!

"Doom and GLOOM" pun? he he

Oh, I am so jealous. Dolly and camera crane? How'd you afford that? How old are you? I can barely afford the paper to print the scripts on.

Because I don't remember that, I thought it was an update on the screenplay.

I can just move it to getting to know you where heretic put his and so did AmericanSyCo, just as reference to others who posted a similar thing.

Nothing against you, support the brotherhood of writers turned directors but we have to be fair to everybody else.

Quoted from Impulse Oh, I am so jealous. Dolly and camera crane? How'd you afford that? How old are you? I can barely afford the paper to print the scripts on.

I'm 14 (almost 15) years old.

Like I said, I just saved up or only got one or two things for Christmas for the past three years. ha-ha.

And I use what I win from festivals to put into my next film.

The teaser website has been approved by the host, so its already up! Check that out here:
