Ditch nearing complettion!

2010-05-01T07:33:00.000-07:00

Ditch is in post right now and waiting on score and then the film is complete! I am taking down fierrofilms.com and will be using this blog site as the main hub for Fierro Films I just need to figure out how to make it look better.
I will be operating off roadworkpictures.com now for everything new.
My new feature Delivery Boy is nearing pre-production. The script is complete and we are nearing the point to start calling actor agents for some well knowns. Next is script breakdown for scheduling and budget.

Been working a lot lately. Also trying to get things ready for re-shoots in May. I just sent in the form for the imdb.com page, took me a while but everyone from the film is on it! So those actors that have no page on imdb.com, now you do! Trailer is still at the point where I left it, I'll periodically post about that, I know I sound like a hypocrit on the trailer thing but sometimes you get side tracked :(

Ditch Trailer almost complete

2009-03-11T23:02:00.001-07:00

I just started editing the trailer for Ditch and it is coming out really well. I should have it done and uploaded by the start of next week. it's just hard editing a trailer with a storyline with out all of the footage.

Delivery Boy

Editing on Ditch is almost complete for the rough cut, going to be putting together a full trailer soon so Ian can help me market the shit outta it. Also, if you are reading this, and are an actor in Ditch... once the IMDB page for the movie is created we have to seed it (go on the clerks IMDB and say 'you' stumbled across a movie just like it'). Once this is done, chances are everyone on that board will say you are full of it... but they will still see Ditch just to confirm their suspicions. After all, the key is getting the movie seen by as many people as possible.

As a side note, Fierro Films has announced a new project set to start in the coming year entitled "Delivery Boy." It is being penned by Ian M. (CJ) and myself.

I will eventually give you guys (actors) the schedule for the re-shoots and pick-up shots.

Good News

Pretty good news. I almost have all the scenes edited up for the first rough cut of the film. Another 4 weeks and I think it will be ready to preview. Also we are getting back into things and are starting to plan for the re-shoots and scheduling. For re-shoots we plan on adding a lot of production value to our shots.

New teaser ad for "Ditch"

Also the guy who plays CJ, Ian M., has introduced me to the greatest show on HBO, Entourage! The show kicks serious A$$!

I love editing!

I have been editing more of 'Ditch'. I have about 33 minutes of the movie edited so far for the rough cut. End of March are week end re-shoots and indoor scenes to get out of the way, including all the Mr.LeBarn parts. If you don't know Mr.LeBarn is a character in the movie who is an older Australian millionaire who plays the father to the main characters girl friend. We are doing some shots at the local Y's gymnasium and some more exteriors. Last time we were rushed for time and could not set up the dolly or jib, but I am going to have all of that ready for re-shoots and for scenes not yet shot. As well I am talking with Troy who plays the lead Morris in the film to see what we can do to get some D'BASEMENT shirts for the merchandise page.

Ditch is looking good, I have been editing for a while this week. There are a lot of great parts in the movie and with all the takes we got I know its going to be a great blooper reel. Other than that I am working on two scripts and chillin'.

25% into editing. Everything looks great. The movie has started to take on a very independent feel, it is very smooth and immersing. I just got some of the go ahead money for the music that will be in the film, still cracking down on the editing.

Started editing

Kicked off the week on finishing the transfer of all the raw footage to external drive. Also we are waiting on some licensing for music for the film. I would recommend anyone who needs music for a film to take look at sonicbids.com, they helped me get music for "Ditch" and are a great company to work with to find musicians interested in supplying music. I am also working with Ryan Casey of Favorite media to put together a short advertising campaign online.

More to come.

Ditch and Crushing Pennies

2008-12-19T07:55:00.001-08:00

Ditch has gone from production to post then back to production in spring 09. I still need to finish with transfering all the PC avi footage to mac mov files. It's time consuming since I have to transfer each one individually and add audio individually. Once that get's complete I can start on editing, I have two editors me and my DP who will be working on it together. This film should turn out great, I have a lot of ideas for it and have the producer/director, Ryan Casey from Favorite Media helping me out with branding and promotions.
