Get excited!

Binoculars Update #4

Are you stoked yet?

If not, here's a kickass trailer to help remind you why you should be!

The official premiere date is November 24th! (Facebook event soon to come.) I am winding down on the post-production process with some amazing advice from Professor David Gillette and my fellow seniors so thanks all! If you feel like coming by to see it we'll be doing a fun event in the LAES lab with food and a post-premiere movie. If you can't make it down, I'll be making the video available online within a week or two of the event so stay tuned!

Thanks for everyone's support through this long-ish process!

That's a wrap!

Binoculars Update #3

We're officially done shooting! And recording! And I'm so excited to get this movie finished but I'm so sad to no longer have an excuse to make some amazing people hang out with me!

Thanks to the ingenuity of my production team, the helpfulness of my tech team, and the enthusiasm of my cast, I'm so much closer to completing this dream of mine. I hope this isn't really goodbye for most of you, but I want everyone to know how very grateful I am for each and every minute you helped.

Now that the sappy stuff is out of the way, timeline talk! I'm hoping to finish post-production this summer (in between shifts at Disneyland, so don't forget to come visit me) and get the sound/color/vfx all perfect(ish) by September. Then  I'm having a fancy pants premiere with the LAES department in the first couple weeks of Fall quarter. Film festival submission, then, of course, crazy accolades to follow. :P

More updates to come!

Wind, Frats, and Everything Sucky

Binoculars Update #2

Not that it's a secret to any filmmakers out there, but there are a lot of things going wrong during a shoot. Note that I do not say, "things that could go wrong" but things that are at all times going wrong.

Like the wind storm featured above making all the audio from scene 4.... interesting.

So far we've used quite a bit of flexibility and ingenuity to compensate for screaming fraternities and visiting parents to get through 3 days of shooting. 2 scenes to go! (Which is crazy ahead of schedule, knock on wood it stays that way.)

HUGE thanks to all tech and extras that have come out to help! Also to my amazing actors who have dedicated so much time to help me with my dream.

Scene 1 scheduled for next weekend, let's hope we can keep up the productivity!
