I'm So Tired - Pre-Production Complete!

After many stressed filled days (and sleepless nights), the process of pr-production was ended. Peter gave us the green light (or little red communist star as it appears on the board!) so on Monday the terror/joy of shooting commences.
We've set up sets, organised catering and are in the midst of finalising our props. All actors are signed off and prepped (although there was a minor fiasco yesterday when our hitman pulled out and was swiftly replaced.) Tomorrow is our first rehearsal with the leads, essential considering the ridiculous amount of dialogue that runs throughout the film. The cast is an interesting one and features a stand-up comedian, an ex-cop and a German transvestite dancer.
Wow, it actually looks like the film will get made.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to collapse...

UPDATED: Today is one of the greatest days of my life. Not only am I getting a film made but BOB DYLAN has just announced his Australian tour - with Adelaide ON THE LIST OF SHOWS!! Now I'll never get to sleep! Too excited!!

Another Brick In The Wall

With Tuesday and the beginning of production fast approaching, the advanced crew discover a barrier between themselves and the completion of their projects....

"Heroes" - MAPS Award Winners And Other News

Attended the YAP awards last night. Was a fun night, I got a balloon! Congratulations to the MAPS winners - Daniel for "Squeaky Clean" and Sarah for her "Festering Turd." Peter was there too, but I don't think he's talking to me for some reason...

In more relevant news, we have no problems using the alleyway from the previous post. On Monday I'm going to go see if I can get the location signed off after I've completed Dave's storyboards for "90 Mile Desert." This is my fourth storyboard gig after my own, Danny Steel's and Phil's (of which I am particularly proud of!)
On top of this we also held auditions this week. We have two actors definitely on board, one of which is something of a local hero in the MAPS gang. Comedians have also been contacted for the lead role of 'Lincoln' the wise-cracking hobo (aren't they all?)
For more info on the film, check out Jen's blog where you can find a more 'detailed' account of the production.
No drawings this time, sorry (Peter breaths a sigh of relief). I'll try to lift my game for the next post.

I Manned Up Hard!

It's The End Of The World As We Know It - According To Peter

Peter went on a big tirade yesterday that went something like this...Same ol' stuff really.

In other news, this past Saturday whilst out enjoying the wonders of "Free Comic Book Day," I happened across a nice little alley way that I'm pretty keen on using in the film. Here is a glimpse of the sweet little slum.

As well as locations, we are also organizing auditions, catering and make-up effects. Storyboards are complete and tonight we're "auditioning" a local celebrity at the Boho.

Ja Mata!
