OUT OF STATE LAST DAY

Friday December 23rd.

Last day of shooting with humans.. it went well.. as usual... everyone was wonderful.. as usual. Though I am happy that the whole madness of shooting schedules and dealing with humans (however wonderful you all were) is over.. it is pretty sad that it is. You get so used to a group of people working towards a specific goal.. and when something amazing comes of it.. anyway.. I am a nostalgic sentimental freak, and I shouldn't be allowed to leave my house. Now the really hard part begins.. I have already been editing a lot, and I have about 25 minutes of the film done. But I have to start building things... I have some blueprints drawn up, and a lot of ideas about how I am going to do it. I foresee a lot of long nights in my basement breathing in saw dust and paint fumes... On top of the models I have to make a dead beaver that I can use for several stop motion animation sequences.. and I am also creating a frog man character, and this time is will not be my friend Hussein, I plan on him being a real frogman... half frog, half man... When I have something interesting to show, I will continue this page with more pictures, so keep checking back... anyway, here are some behind the scene shots from the last day of shooting.

OUT OF STATE

Tuesday December 20th

We had to reschedule most of the final day's shots for friday, but I did shoot a few things with Marisa. And holy god am I ever sick. I shouldn't be making movies so much as I should probably be in a hospital.

OUT OF STATE

Sunday December 18th

Day 2 of wild green screen fun... went too fast.. only one day left of shooting with actors... it is starting to feel sad.

OUT OF STATE

Saturday December 17th

Day one of green screen madness... well as usual we were done way sooner than expected... I can only hope tomorrow goes as well.. the green screen seems to be working okay, I have already tested some of the footage we shot to see if I can effectively replace the green with whatever I want, and it all seems alright.. I don't have any of the backgrounds shot yet, so all there is to show is some pictures taken on set... oh.. and Craig was a very convincing drunk guy.

OUT OF STATE

Thursday December 15th

OUT OF STATE

Sunday December 11th

Was a long day of shooting, and it went well... seems things with this movie couldn't go any smoother... like really.. we had a messy morning, but me and Marisa cleaned it all up... and the afternoon went so fast i wasn't sure if I got everything or not.. but I did... and yet again Farrah stole the show.

OUT OF STATE

Saturday November 19th

Out in the middle of nowhere. The generator kept dieing, and the sound equipment broke down too. Also, we were surrounded by gangs of wild coyotes. But at the end of the day, everything turned out perfectly.

OUT OF STATE

Sunday November 13th

First day of shooting went fairly well, slightly cold outside.

November 7 2005

So my new movie "Out of State" begins shooting on November 13th, it's all pretty exciting and it should hopefully all go well, considering the ridiculous amount of work I have already put in to this project. I will soon be putting together a mini site for "out of state" with some production stills, as soon as they start coming in.

The movie is starring Barry May, Quynh-Mi Nguyen, and Isaac Malik, as well as some old SC favorites like Amanda Kolodychuk, Terry Ramsay, and myself...
It is about some desperate people who are lost and trying to find a way back home. And a bunch of other things.
