So, there’s been so much talk about the movie but what about the iPad application? Well, I haven’t forgotten about it. Wednesday June 23th was the end of the term and we had an presentation where the five teams demonstrated their progress so far. We are excited about the reactions we received from the audience [...]
This was the moment – the day of the “money shot”. Jon Berezen did an incredible and amazing job on the makeup for the character, Eric (played by Paul Toolan). We were all fascinated and in awe of the key reveal of Eric Zann. We also spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to get the music [...]
I’m so excited to see our movie come to life. It has been a long path since the beginning of this project – 6 weeks to be exact! Props, costumes, cast, crew and craft services are in place. Our call time is at 12:15pm. At 1pm we will start shooting “The Music of Erich Zann”.

So Term 3 came and went so fast that I cannot believe that is actually half of my year at VFS. I still have more things and stories to share about the Project Space Squid, but today I’ll just write about the meeting we had.
It was 4.30 p.m, and our Head of Department Jessica (fearless and assertive leader I [...]
We’ve run over our to-do list over and over again. Yet it feels like something is missing.
We spent most of Thursday finalizing that list again and getting all of the odds and ends tied up. First, we started out by subjecting our sheet music to a rigorous “aging process” (endless soaking sessions in tea, coffee, and Coke), then we planned [...]
The days are winding down and so is the money …yet, it feels like there is still so much to do. Our 3D guys are having difficulty with finalizing and committing to the green screen flooring. They have to create a floor, which will be time consuming. We have since decided that throwing a rug down would eliminate the tedious [...]
After we had the “Ritual” (a.k.a Script) in our hands, we had to make a really detailed list of the things need it to call C’Thulhu. We started with the most important ones: The Location and the Servants (that would play Joseph and the Professor roles). We though those ones would be the hardest ones to get. How wrong we [...]
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!
Hello again all,
With the shoot fast approaching, we were gathering all of our props for the shoot, with only a small amount of money left in our budget, we couldn’t afford to rent any more props so we thought we could try and get creative.
We had rented 20 books for the shoot to fill the table, the desk and the [...]
