New Quartet Scene & Final Frank shots?
almost 6 years ago

Hey There Everyone!
Lots of great progress over the past two months. Of course, the big news is we screened a roughcut of the film for the cast & crew. It was great finally seeing the film up on the bigscreen.
Since then, we've been tackling lots of inserts shots as well as getting started on the final sound and visual effects.
Lance tweaks the chair mech.
Lance puts the 'fly' in flywheel.
We've also added a whole new scene with the Quartet (of Shine fame). I decided I wanted to bring them in a little earlier in the film to fill the audience in on the story and give us a couple laughs.
The numbers at the bottom are Timecode which we use as a reference when working on the film.
Final Frank Shots?
Finally, in another potential milestone, I peeled off a couple insert shots of Frank. After wrapping I realized that this may be the final shots for our star? Is his four year film career at an end? Bittersweet indeed.
Thanks so much for your patience, I promise it will be worth the wait.

Cast & Crew Screening Next Week and You're Invited!

Hello Again,
We are one short week away from our cast screening. All of you lovely people are invited to attend.
Cast & Crew Roughcut Screening:
April 19th, 7:00
Portland, Oregon.
Tickets are Free to all Kickstarter Backers.
I can't make it to Portland; I live in the Netherlands for F#cks sake! Is it done? When do we get our Blu-Rays?!
You have every right to ask and the short answer is: I don't know...but, we're getting close. I committed to the screening next week in part to help push the film faster. It's worked really well and we have made tremendous progress in the last months.
Still to do is the original score, visual effects, and lots and lots of sound. Everything continues to go really well but really slow. Thank you for being so patient. I'm very excited that those of you that make it next week will get a look at everything we've done.
More good stuff to come!
Jesse

Hey Gang!
A few nights ago, I was hard at work on the Miniatures for Murder Village alongside Jason Ropp and Erin DeBray and I realized that this was an evening I had been looking forward to for four years!
And here's a few more including the beginning of our Krampus Temple!
The Moroi's Castle
We've also added more layers of detail to the Moroi's (formerly Dark Maker) castle including the gargoyle, mountains, and the beginnings of the Feral Wood.
The Castle Miniature Arises!

Hello There Zedites,
Lots of great stuff happening with the movie. As always, it is a struggle to get updates out. However, I wanted to share a quick pic of our first large scale miniature.

and here it is with some paint.
No gargoyles yet!
Frank's charge meter being built
And, lastly, we've gotten our Frank & Zed enamel pins in and they look amazing! I was nervous these would turn our low-res but they look amazing. A fine tribute to our to leads. (Thanks, George for making this happen!)
