Yes! We have been mighty busy around here at Quandary. There’s lots to report, and not much time to do it because I have to get back to working on the set. Here goes!
Production Journal II has launched. It focuses on our trip down to LA where we visited camera houses, equipment rentals, Mole Richardson, the ASC clubhouse, and Denny’s (for breakfast because we were in a hurry). Check back soon for the part III where we talk about why we’re shooting on film not digital, and get to see our interview with ASC cinematographer Isidore Mankofsky (who did lighting for the muppet movie! Awesome!)
More information added at www.HeartoftheArgos.com about the project, as well as a new Donate section.
New set pictures are up! I’ll take more
soon, promise. The set is progressing by leaps and bounds with the aid of the crew. It already looks different than these latest pictures. I’m especially excited about getting to paint stuff because it’s beginning to look less silly and more space-age-ee. Next week our special effects supervisor will begin rigging effects lights and some mechanical marvels, more on that to come.
The casting department has just concluded two days of auditions for the three primary roles for Heart of the Argos. Spenser and I weren’t there personally, but we are looking forward to seeing the audition tapes and meeting potential actors at callbacks. Another round of auditions is set to take place next weekend in San Francisco.
Our producers up here in the Bay and down in LA are working hard nailing down logistics, drawing up budget lists, setting up our LLC, getting insurance, and much more. It will be quite an operation organizing and transporting the equipment we rent in LA up here, but these guys are defiantly up to the task.
On the horizon, costuming, script revisions, a film test on the set (pictures to come), lighting, props, special FX, and much more. Stay tuned!
I’ll conclude with an enormous thank you to everyone who has helped and become a part of this production, your skill and dedication is what is going to make this film happen.
