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.
