Work in Progress

Hey Photos & Drawings friends. Just wanted to give you a little update on what's been going on with our little movie. I am still editing and loving where things are headed.

Lately, I've been busy co-producing and doing film titles on a feature film called Phasma Ex Machina which is truly an opportunity of a life time. Writer/Director Matt Osterman has orchestrated an amazing comtemplative, super-natural thriller that will you definitely enjoy. Please check out the Phasma Trailer

Photos & Drawings share stars, Sasha Andreev and Corey Walton, with Phasma Ex Machina and Matt Osterman is one of our producers.

It is going to be one wild and crazy summer! Check back for updates.

Still cutting

Sorry it's been so long since the last post, We're still cutting the picture. Looking great. The timeline slowed a bit as we switched gears to support our Photos & Drawings friend Matt Osterman wrap up his feature Phasma Ex Machina. Jon is doing the title design. Look for it as www.phasmamovie.com

one Rough Cut Done..

So the trip to WI was a success and I finally have a rough cut. Lots LOTS more to do... more editing, sound design, music, titles....

holed up in Wiscony

Sometimes it's better to get away to get 'er done. I've been holed up in Wisconsin this week for some much needed editing and r&r. I can honestly say that the cut is coming along and that so far it's been a beautifully difficult process. It's hard to have to let gorgeous shots/performances go in the hopes of telling a good story. We're giving it our best though and if time permits I might put together a trailer. I would be remiss if I didn't say a few thank yous to k & p for their wonderful hospitality, to good food & cookies and to house pants.

Here's my world 1) my traveling edit suite 2) the view when the shades aren't closed 3) nothing like a good fireplace nearby to stay warm.

A beautiful looking little film

This writer/producer/director/editor thing is tough! The crafting process has begun - I am in full edit mode and loving every minute of it. Steve Speers was a phenomenal Director of Photography as you can see by these frames here. I am very happy that Steve convinced me to shoot on the RED camera.

We finished Shooting

I know it's been a while since the last post but...

THE SHOOT WAS AWESOME! We shot Nov 1, 2, 3. It was Sunny and 70º. The weather could not have been better. [ It sleeted the weekend before and was 30's and snowy the weekend after.]

Writing writing writing

Even though we're coordinating everything for the shoot, we've been rewriting and updating the script still. Ahhhhhhh! Stressful, but now we have a way better version. There will probably be tweaks right up until the actual shoot, but every change makes it better. Woo hoo. We'll just have to stay awake until around November 4th. That shouldn't be too hard to do.
