This is where it all begins

On saturday James, Ryan, and I woke up early, and went to Chris Pogues house to pick up his nice powerbook to begin editing "Scarecrow of Nations" (thanks again Chris). We had to recapture all of our stuff, which was a bummer, because we had to sit around for three hours getting no work done. The first thing that we set out to do was make a really good teaser trailer for the movie. It didn't meet my expectations, it surpassed them. James did such an outstanding job it makes me giddy everytime I watch it. As you may have noticed we used the services of Google Video this time instead of You tube. The reason is becuase You tube doesn't format any videos in widescreen and google video does. The only problem is that google video has to verify anything that they put on their site, and that is why it took a couple days for me to post it. So enjoy the trailer, and we'll have a secure date for the premier shortly.

The whole world is depending on us and they dont even know it

The day of redemption has come upon us. We have wrapped filming the second film by Antioch Productions "Scarecrow of Nations". The last days of filming went without any flaws. Sunday we had an issue with scheduling because our talent got called into work, so we had to reschedule it to Tuesday. This didn't make me angry, because we had a shoot Wednesday. I have quickly discovered making this film that when you let things get you angry you prduce work that sucks. Roll with the punches, now if I could just teach that to Ryan we wouldn't waste time throwing equipment across the room. The last day of shooting went by fast. Chris messed up about twenty times but it made for some good outakes, so look for in on the DVD. We did have some down time during the shoot, because we had to wait for it to get dark. So we took some time shooting ourselves with our powerful airsoft gun that gave Ryan and I some nice welts on our hands. But Anthony took the cake when he let us shoot him in the bare butt. We filmed and Im sorry to say that it will also make it on the DVD, but we'll probably hide it. We have captured the footage, but still having some troubles finding an editing computer. It will work itself out though in the end Im sure. Check back soon and find out whats going on in post-production, and more info on the premier.
