Post-Production
Update
April 24,
2007
How
time flies. After principal photography there was no time to breathe
between cataloging props, tearing down sets, inventorying equipment,
finalizing paperwork, and getting starting on logging and capturing
footage. Now, almost two weeks after wrapping first unit, the footage is
almost all ready to be viewed, edited, enhanced, given a soundtrack,
added Foley effects to, and all the other post production work that will
turn it into something even that much greater. Stay tuned for festival
and film market news!
Production
Update
March 31,
2007
Well
into our second week of principal photography and things are going well.
Today was another aviation day; our private jet sequences were filmed at
the Aurora Airport, as well as some important store front footage in the
evening. So far, we've been able to stick mostly on schedule, with only
some minor script changes and two wardrobe malfunctions. Weather has
allowed us to keep our scheduled motor-scooter, 4x4 off-road, limousine,
and helicopter sequences. Our explosion, fight and chase sequences have
been wrapped, and footage is looking good. One more week and then post
production!
Pre-Production
Update
January 29,
2007
It
just takes a little time. Persistence pays off. Attitude is altitude.
Those would be some good terms to describe the continued pre-production
work that Road's
End Films plows forward with each and every day. As we are discovering,
making a movie is much like raising a child. It takes a community.
Therefore, we are open to questions, comments, remarks, contacts, and
general communication. Feel free to call or email us anytime. During
business hours of course.
Pre-Production
Update
January 21,
2007

End Films held a table read over the weekend for the From Kilimanjaro
With Love™ cast, which proved a success. As pre-production
continues to move forward elements like scheduling, locations, and crew
are secured and locked into place. Be sure to check back soon with more
updates!
