It's over.... Let it begin!

Well, the project that George and I were working on fell through. He got busy at his day job, and I got busy working on my own stuff. We still want to finish the project, but for now, it's been placed on the back burner.

I do however, have a new short film that I'm working on, and it will contain some VFX elements. It's a horror based short, so there should be some cool stuff in it. Hopefully, this new short will be finished in time for the Horror Fest that I want to enter it into on October 11th. I'm planning on keeping this site updated a little more often now. I guess we'll see! :)

Back to the Beginning...

Ok, so this "test" is shaping up a little more. Everytime I think I'm going to get a chance to work on this, something always comes up, and I get taken away. I know the same has been happening to George. But we are still committed to this project, and I'm now slowly getting back on track.

I'm starting over on the story, and George is still working on the design of the creature.

Look for more updates soon.

Contrary to popular rumours on the net...

...we are not dead, and neither is this project!! What with Sundance happening here in Utah right now, I've been a little busy. George has been busy at work too. He was able to take a small break this past weekend (right George?). I've been attending some of the screenings at the Sundance Film Festival as well as some of the "tag along" fests that happen at the same time. One fest that didn't tag along that I tried to attend and get involved in was the LDS Film Festival. Ever since first finding this festival almost 2 years ago, I've been wanting to submit something to it. I would have been able too this year, if I had heard about their 24 Hour Film Contest more than 3 days in advance. Anyways, that's all water under the bridge. If you're gonna be attending TromaDance 2006 (one of the tag alongs) on Saturday, January 28, I'll be there to check out some of the action going one. Check out Troma's website for more information.

As for the project, more of it has been nailed down. We are now looking at shooting a 5 minute long short to show off some visual effects that we can do. This 5 minute short may end up being a precursor to something further down the road, but nothing is set in stone just yet. Work continues on the design phase of the creature that will be showcased in the short. Here is an early sketch of the creature. Be watching for the first draft of the script to pop online soon.

Holidays can sometimes suck...

Okay, now that the holidays are over with, we should be able to get back to working on stuff. I'll be posting some stuff in the next couple of days (hopefully) and things should start to progress.

Welcome...
