Production Rant

Hey Everyone!

First, I would like to once again thank everyone for their participation in the projects we have shot in the last year or so. I would like to send a special thank you to Peg London and everyone else who was apart of Project: PATROL.

PATROL UPDATE

As we grow closer to the holiday it seems to become harder and harder to complete the post-production phases of the projects we have shot. The last scene from PATROL has almost become so annoying that I would rather re-shoot it again than have to deal with having a visual effects artist spend so much time on something so small. Still, we are tentatively scheduled to be done with all of PATROL by January 1st (but at this pace I wouldn't hold my breath).. Ya, I know as a producer it is my job to be optimistic and energetic about everything, but I would much rather just call it like I see it. I know the job will get done, but it is just a matter of when.

As far as distribution goes, we have reviewed the film over-and-over for the last couple of months and have decided that it would better suit a television media over a theatrical.


Shila's Music Video

We are scheduled to shoot a music video this weekend, so I am very eager to get this project out of the way because negotiations between the artist's management and my company went on a bit too long.

Hopefully, it will all pay off. We have decided to go with shooting on the Panasonic HVX and a couple of Redrock Micro products. *shrugs* Let the games begin!

Tenative Schedule for 2008

Hey Everyone!

It has a been a crazy year for me and the rest of the production company. Originally, PATROL was scheduled to debut in Spring 07 but was delayed due to the production of "Life With Solomon" then we later ran into issues in post-production. I have been trying to divide resources between our latest projects and PATROL and so far things have been moving at a gradual pace.

The tentative schedule for early 2008 is

January
  • Complete the "White Tee" music video by Shila.
  • Complete the "Back of the Line" music video by Ms. Toi.
  • Begin Pre-Production of Urban Jungle.
  • Have the debut screening of PATROL.
So far tying up loose ends has become a number one priority for both the actors and the good of future projects. We are still in the process of deciding what film festival we would like to debut the film, but I should definitely have an answer by January of 2008.

PATROL Update

PATROL Update - The post production issues we've been having regarding visual effects are all but resolved at this point. I appreciate the patience and understanding everyone has had during the editing process.

In the meantime, here is a "Sneak Peek" of the finished product of PATROL.
