hey all, just a note to say that you can follow my fortunes as I endure a two week geurilla shoot over at the Crooked Features website
why should you care?! well, myself and the producer have already been keeping diaries on-line about preproduction, there is a small chance that you might learn something ;)
anyways I hope to keep the diary entries fairly up-to-date, it's going to cover the entire project from preproduction right up to sales and marketing.
if you have any comments (or you are in the area and think you might be able to help out) drop me a line - mike*at*harp28.com
cheers ears
principal photography has wrapped. we have one funny movie to edit!
Thanks for the link Miker. Have found it both interesting and informative.
another quick update to say the milestone of the "first fine cut" has been reached!
the movie as it stands right now is 1hr 28mins
hey, Crooked Features is painfully near completion!
just finalising the music and the all important ident and then it'll be festival submission time!
(and time to arrange a premiere somewhere)
thanks for listening!
The music is taking longer than I thought :-/
Still, we should be at Cannes Market and MIFED next year trying to sell the sucker to anyone who'll listen!
We have a trailer hosted by those gracious folks at archive.org-

(hey, I almost look organised!)
I saw in another thread that CV is ceasing publication, that's sad. Back around 1998 when I was cutting my teeth on my first NLE I remember stumbling across CV and realising I wasn't in an isolated bubble :)
Things have moved on slightly:
We have formulated a presspack:

and got a new full-length trailer out there:

(WARNING: several unbleeped uses of the 'F' word)
Enjoy!
How time flies! Well Crooked Features was broadcast earlier this year on Sky so I finally got some closure on the project!
I still blog a bit, I'm getting back to my roots of location audio with a view to making my next movie's soundtrack absolutely kick ass!!
