Just when I thought we had time to relax, I got introduced to the lengthy and complicated post production process.  Currently my partner and I are working on finding an editor, compositor, composer, and someone to work on our post fx. We are going on summer  break next week so right now it’s crunch time. I’m still very excited to have the [...]

We have been working for 4 weeks to get everything prepared for our shoot day. It looks like this is never going to end! Seriously, it has been a big challenge to find the best props/costumes to satisfy the look and feel of our movie and to accomplish all the requirements for our director, Michael Chase.
My experience with the pre-production [...]

What would you think if you were enjoying a nice stroll along the walkway next to the beach and came across two guys vigorously rubbing articles of clothing across the rocks, sand, and water?

It appears the minimal word route seemed to have been a successful method in portraying the excitement of our first day of production. The pictures posted hopefully gave you a good idea not only of how lively June 8th was but also what our little film is going to look like. This time, as I walk you through Production Day [...]

Here is our actor Matt Willems before he was turned into the ” Haggard Man”.
Notice that amazing beard, yes its real!

Spray Tan! We needed Matt to look like he was stranded out in the middle of the ocean for a week, and after a couple layers he looked nice and sun burnt.

Christa Monroe, our make-up artist did an [...]

I’m sure by now you’ve established that I tend to be fairly wordy when I write these blog entries. On numerous occasions I’ve tried to keep the word count to a minimum, but it hasn’t met with much success. Thus, when it came time to talk about June 8th and 9th, the shooting days for The Rats in the Walls, [...]

As any ritual or process to summit either a force, a god or any other upper creature, you need a list of different ingredients and steps to follow. C’Thulhu was no different, but there was an exception, the ritual was in a language no one of my team knew how to pronounce.
After a few days of researching and intense reading [...]

We settled on a half a pound and bought 10 pounds of ground beef… big mistake!
