Breaking news

Until further notice, I won't be posting on this blog anymore.  I have found that I can reach a lot more people through our 304 Facebook page.  So, I invite you to friend me there and check out all of the cool stuff we have going on.

Cerulean reviews...

I'll be posting Cerulean on youtube tomorrow for a select few to review and then post their opinions.  I sent out a few discs already and have been getting some positive feedback.


"A dark film that got darker, it ended too soon," was one short critique.

I will post positive and negative feedback as it comes in.

We had a great shoot tonight...

...I will post footage tomorrow. However, if you have a love of old school horror films and/or Lance Henriksen then please give to this cause.

Cerulean is done!

Cerulean is finished now and we are going into marketing.  I have a select group of buddies who have been quite supportive and we'll be sending you DVDs very soon.  The rest of you will have to wait until August. That is when we are premiering it at Cinema Center.  I will post the actual date next week but it will be a Friday in August.

Not too bad...

So...I burned a copy of Cerulean on DVD and watched it at home.  There are a few audio issues I need to correct and two errors in the end credits, but all in all, I'm rather pleased with the final production.  I'll have the final mix done by the weekend and the start cranking out the DVDs. I will also be offering the movie for digital download.  We're looking into Blu-ray Discs as well.

Finished!

Today I finished the final touches on Cerulean.  I'm going to start burning DVDs this weekend.  Also of note and worthy of celebrating, I finished the 8ft x 12ft mural that I started back in December!

Sigh...no showing this Friday.

All of the sound is mixed and I'm reasonably happy with it.  On our next project, we'll use much better microphones!

Well...all of the sound but one scene...there was a lot of wind that day.  The microphone was cheap and the ADR isn't so hot.  Issac did a great job of gathering the ADR, but seriously it takes professional actors to repeat the emotion and adrenalin that one experiences on location.

Anyway, I have to get that scene done and it may take a little work.  We are so close to finishing this and I don't want to give up this close to the end.

The first three minutes...

It's not official yet...

...but I am going to see if we can show "CERULEAN" May 3rd in room 204 at 7:00 pm.  I will post next week and let everyone know.

More good than bad...

Tonight I presented the movie to my Video and Intermedia class.  Two members of the band Pretender/Contender (the guys who did our soundtrack) were there. They seemed pleased with overall production. The basic feeling was positive though there are plenty of audio problems to correct. I'm happy with the feedback and looking forward to rapping it all up.

FINALLY!

This weekend I am doing the final mix down and then showing Cerulean to my Tuesday evening class for a review and critique.  I will make any changes that we deem necessary and then debut it the following weekend!
