Haven't shot anything new yet, but I've been working on the teaser trailer. Showed a rough cut to a few people and they loved it, so hoping that I'm on the right track. I've spent the past few days working on the VFX for the trailer and now I'm about ready to do the sound. I really wanted to...

Cool concept. I'm not an animator, so take what I say with a grain of salt: The framerate looks a bit jerky and the rendering looks like 2000's scanline rendering. I use Blender, not Maya, so I can't really offer tips to improve, but overall I'd say focus on your materials and rendering...

I really love how moody each one is. They really are like paintings!

Day 15 Yesterday we shot a scene where the father encounters a demon pretending to be his wife. I don't want to spoil any more than that. Filming took four hours and we worked hard with the lighting to create an unsettling atmosphere. McKenna (Liz) was available so she helped me with...

Thanks a lot Nate! I really feel like I've reached the limit of what I can personally do with no crew. On my next big project, I want a scripty, hair/makeup/wardrobe, and two all purpose assistants (helping with sound, lighting, and anything else). I want to talk about the makeup for a quick...

Day 14 I meant to post this yesterday but had too much going going on. Day 14 was our best day yet. We shot all day and got all the scenes we had planned. Had a few minor hiccups with sunlight coming and going, as well as some makeup continuity that I'll have to fix with Nuke, but otherwise...

Day 13 I'm beat. Went to bed around midnight thirty, woke up at 3am for a few hours and couldn't get back to sleep until 5am, then up at 7am for my client shoot. Got home at 11am, and had to turn and burn for filming the movie. It was raining all day, so I gaff taped an umbrella to the...

Day 12 We shot all the cabin scenes today! The day began with a private wedding ceremony, followed by a scene discussing the need to make plans in case of marauders. We then took a break for a few hours to wait for it to get dark. My wife made a picnic dinner for everyone and we enjoyed it...

Day 11 The morning started off early. We had agreed to meet up at 7am to shoot the marriage proposal on the west shore of Flathead Lake. That meant getting up at 5:30 am. Ouch. We got to location and everything was perfect for shooting dawn for dusk. The light in the sky, the performances...

Hello!!!

It's so true. This movie has a lot of dark themes to it, so a little levity is good.

Day 09 We only shot one scene. It's a scene where Blake comes home after the earthquake and his parents are watching the news. The report is that the earthquake was caused by "Jesus" appearing at St. Peter's Square. Blake doesn't believe this and he and his parents get into an argument. We...

One last bit to add - It's hot. Very hot. We have fires going on all around us. Temps are in the high 80's, mid 90's. My camera doesn't like that. I bought a 4x6 diffusion with a stand a little over a month ago in hopes of using it to diffuse the harsh sunlight on my actors, but...

I guess there was one cool thing to note- In one of the scenes we shot, Blake's mother gives him a letter from his university stating that the school is shutting down due to lack of students returning from spring break because of *the second coming of Jesus* (which ends up being false). I...

Day 08 Halfway there! We got a lot of scenes shot today at the house and the shoot went well. Not a lot to update beyond that. After the shoot, my wife met up with us, and the actors who play Blake's parents took us on a boat ride across Flathead Lake where we had dinner and drinks. The...

Day 07 We're almost halfway through production! It already feels like it's been over a month. Yesterday was our first day shooting in the expensive house. It's beautiful in there! We shot a dinner scene where we are introduced to the Owens family and the lighting we did came out looking...

Day 06 Today we started off by hitting up a Laser Therapy place to double as a hospital. It was a single, slow motion shot of a doctor giving the family some bad news. We got it in three takes. Then we had the actors change into funeral clothes and shot at a local cemetery. We filmed the...

Here's a rough mockup at what I'm thinking of doing. Haven't found the right rainbow or glow yet though.
