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 [...]

Well well well, the day has finally come! We are shooting the Call of C’Thulhu!
The morning of the shoot, I woke up with a bounce in my step and a smile on my face, I went and cranked up the volume on my Glee soundtrack as I danced away the last hour of prep time before shooting.

As I find myself preparing to make the “Call”, a lot of things have happened today. I thought that the day before shooting it would be busy, but not as busy as it has been. Still, I’m very optimistic about our [...]

Hey everyone and welcome back,
On day one of Project Space Squid, we decided we should build the staircase needed for our film, instead of trying to source one.  However, in retrospect… it may have been easier to do find one!
We started by calling around and finding out the prices for lumber and other supplies, and what the costs of labour [...]

Here we are, one week before shooting and I’m starting to feel all the rush and emotion prior to it. The energy running through my veins, the excitement of producing this project, the happiness of collaborating with very talented and eager team members… If at this point you’re not sure what I’m talking about, allow me to give you the short [...]

Hello again,
I am happy to report that yesterday afternoon, our team had a very successful meeting in which we were able to better define our interactive concept for the project!
