Final edit................... another version will follow

if i had an extra day i'd dedicate it to final touches in effects and timing - removing the rubbishness of the glow but this time round i used it to hide the rushed pyro-effects.

rough cut VOODOO COWBOY

3 targets

for future film making i should:
-make sure physical representations are given to the actors so they know exactly what i want.
-show actors, etc. my blog featuring imagery + moodboard to convey targeted style across to them..
-double check all continuity via storyboard plan.

production pics

i'm gonna need to feature an after effects trick called "the demon face" in my movie.

this site'll show me how http://library.creativecow.net/articles/kramer_andrew/Demon_Face_Warp.php

today's shoot

today went so smoothly it was great.

- first we got our bluescreen nice n taught across our studio (max's scout hut). was tough but paid off nicely.

-next was costume design! doin the cowboy was great, Angus (the dude playin him) genuinly looked like a voodoo-ized cowboy - a pretty cool look it has to be said. next was the cherokee spirit bandito bad guys who also look great.

-Shooting happened pretty soon after this and all came together. Was genuinly impressed by ease at which tasks were accomplished. (-:

Details

possible actors - will be confirmed soon:

-my friend Angus Crawley

-my friend Max Weaver-Lathers (alternative actor)

-me

(i may take on the acting role and get someone else to film if desperate)

Effects:

I'll be using effects for gunshots+gun flashes (some can be done WHILE filming), glitter style effects, auras+trail effects like glows and ghosting, i'll be using blue/green screen throughout most of the movie so that'll require keying effects.

Soundtrack:

I thought a track similar to the one used in my animatic would do nicely - it had 1970's cop thriller/adventure feel to it but then also some pretty good synths making it seem kinda futuristic. it was a similar blend of styles as the film (sci fi/western).

my friends are pretty musical, i could invoice a couple to replicate or do somethin similar to that track.
