Rough Edits = Fun Times

Hello Bloggers

The good news this week is that a rough edit has been completed. The film is currently running at around a 9 min runtime without credits and looks very good, the opening scene is like somebody has plugged a monitor into my head and is projecting my thoughts. The performances in the flick are also mindblowingly good and I cant thanks Clementine and Len enough for alll their hard work. I cant wait to sort out the sound tomorrow in the edit and get the flick sent off to Matt over at MembraneAudio so that his score can finally find it's home on film. As the flick is now in post I've been thinking ahead to marketing, promotion and film fests etc, I think the film really has the potential to be selected and is one of the main reasons I'm powering on with the edit. I'm hoping to enter the flick into the "Stoke Your Fires" Festival which is accepting film for the first time as before it was mainly animation based moving image. I think it would be great to get the film shown in the city it was filmed in and a great chance to get the cast and crew together.  As I said I've been thinking of promotional material and quickly threw together a poster for the film.

As you can see the film has been re-titled. After reviewing the footage the title "Wheels" just wasnt working, I felt it didnt relate to the story and definately didnt express the message of the film and so I went back to the drawing board and spoke to some people and one suggestion was "You've Got a Friend" and I loved it. I feel the new title really does express the film a whole lot better and of course any feedback on the poster would be awesome. Right I'm going to settle down to some season 1 "Heroes" and as always I'll keep you posted on things as they happen.

Enjoy!

We Are Shot! :D

Hello Bloggers

I am pleased to announce that "Wheels" is 98% shot. The last two days have been very very tiring but the footage looks amazing and I am very eager to get it into the edit tomorrow for a rough edit. I have to thank a lot of people for getting the film into production so I'd like to thank: Adam Georgiou (1st AD), Dave Gawne (Cam Operator), Clementine Conlon Spears (Jennifer), Len Dobson (Victor), Ben Spencer (Behind the Scenes), Rachel Wood (Producer), Steven Cooper (D.O.P), Callum Woolhouse (Sound Operator), the entire Wood household for letting us invade, my girlfriend Emma for putting up with me and anybody else I may have missed out. Below are some promo stills.

Right I am shattered and really need some sleep so I'll update in a few days.

Enjoy!
