Hey, it has been a crazy time making this film.
The team has consisted of myself and Sarah Sellar, we have shot it, written it, directed it, edited it and even stepped in front of the camera at various points. The camera we used is a basic Panasonic NVGS250 with a cheap stereo mike plugged in to it, not the ideal tech but all we had access to.
We were blessed with a cast member who was not only the king of improv but also able to hook us up with the rest of our cast.
We kept it simple, glad of the genre of spoof, as it allowed us to make it very silly and use the cheapness of it all as the theme. Think old 50s sci fi, Earth Vs Flying Saucers, old Dr Who for your cues and you will have an idea of the style.
Shooting started on the 8th and went well as we wrapped early or on time each day. The only major issue is that we shot in 4:3 and had to convert to 16:9, but this would not stop us as the story is the thing.
Post has gone OK, Sarah has been an absolute star, Colour Grading and adding VFX to several hundred shots in a little over a week.
The only point of contention has been music and sound, this will not be perfect as we have had trouble getting what we need musically, but the film is looking nice and is quite funny, in a bizarre and weird way.
We will also have to hand deliver the film as there is no way of getting it there postwise and still take advantage of our alotted making time, needless to say we will have something for you on Sunday, though it won't be perfect.
Let me know the exact location for delivery so we can hand it directly to you.
Regards
Keith
