Ha! Can't hide now, actors!

Our title got its approval from IMDB so it's now up there for your reference pleasure. Various aspects of IMDB entries update at different rates, so if you don't see yourself, be patient. There may be a few entries still to be added and some corrections, but we'll get them all up there as soon as possible. If you do notice that we've made an error with your name spelling or anything like that, please let me know and we'll try to get it resolved.

Hopefully the trailer will go up as well. It's an...interesting...process.

Trailer is Live!


The first official Search for Kennyboy trailer is now available!

Big thanks go out to Mike and Patrick for putting in some serious hours and really developing this preview. Our DP, Nicholas, also made a trailer way back when we were shooting that helped focus our thoughts around this effort. We on the production team are all very excited about this release. Please pass it on to your friends, family, coworkers and whoever you might currently have locked in your basement. Let's get that buzz going!

Trailer

Note that the trailer is available in HD, so be sure to click on that option. You'll much prefer it to the standard version! (Youtube can lag on the HD version showing up, so if you don't see it, try again later)

Happy Viewing!

The Once and Future Actor

Mike came by the studio last night and lent some serious effort to the editing process. He really helped provide some decision-making power on the project of the moment.

Also, we devised the concept for what may be our most important creative work ever - yes, even surpassing Kennyboy.

Highlander vs. Predator.

I'm thinking maybe Daniel Day-Lewis as the new highlander, an aging man who has renounced his martial ways, stirred from his deep emotional disquietude to defend the planet from its greatest threat...

No slight intended towards Adrian Paul, who I actually like quite a bit. Maybe he can take the role in Highlander vs. Zombie Alien.

The Database

I discovered I was in IMDB tonight, although not for what I expected. Seems they've added a video game credit, providing me auspicious billing for Sound Department duties on Project Gotham Racing. Now I just have to figure out how to classify my design work on FSX.

The Patrick Stewart episode of Extras came up in conversation this evening, bringing back fond memories of blogging during shooting. Do people cherish memories of when they were blogging now? Weird. Anyway, the David Bowie episode is pretty cool too, though in a very different way.

Wow

We shot a lot of footage.

T+One

Yesterday marked the one year anniversary of our production start. Some of the production crew stopped by the studio to view the current state of the film. The viewing generated a number of good suggestions. This was the first time others got to see substantial portions of the movie, which was cool.

It's hard to believe an entire year has passed since we started shooting. There is still plenty of work to do, but hopefully we've found some ways to keep moving forward consistently. I want to thank everyone for their patience. Check back later this week as we expect to make an exciting announcement.

Love those mistakes

Great scene, unfortunate equipment malfunction. I think in the end the audio is salvageable. If not some poor actor will have to do some looping.

T minus two...

Editun'

I thought I would breeze through a scene yesterday and a couple more after it. So much for that idea. It decided to be a difficult scene to put together. There was some great work in it, so it was tough to figure out how to reveal all of it. Of course, the usual answer is, you don't and leave it on the floor. Yes, I printed the movie out onto overhead transparencies and am editing with a razor and tape.

Not actually, but I should have.

One of the good things about editing is that you can also leave your worst moments behind. I'm looking at you, stupid indestructible head.

Stuff

So I've made two blog posts since we've wrapped, which suggests I have not been blogging frequently enough. I am still job searching, which continues to make editing difficult. Unfortunately, it must remain priority two 'on account of the economy', to quote Mr. Springsteen. Nevertheless, I have been making some progress, particularly now that the sun is out. Obviously one should avoid its rays whenever possible. Also, Patrick will probably tear my aortas out at some point if I don't finish this thing. It's been nearly a year since we started shooting and he's still mad about waking up early on a Sunday.

Anyway, we've started talking to some people to see about helping to move this thing along, since I know everyone is as anxious as we are to see it finished. We'll probably be scheduling some editpocalypse sessions coming up.

For those of you who might have tried to contact me see above for reasons you might not have heard back. Things have been pretty busy overall but the project is not dead nor have we disappeared.
