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
Road's
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!
