Meshing the Five Stories into One…

December 5, 2013

Today I took Pieces in Bloom and meshed it together, mixing the five stories like an omelette. It now needs a good rewrite to make everything come together seamlessly. I may decide to keep it as five back to back stories in the same city because the stories as they stand now are very strong. […]

Stills from Playground…

December 4, 2013

Playground is cut, and we are still deciding on a composer so we can refine the cut and lock it. Effects are being developed, and they’re looking really cool. Not only does Brad have to design the energy bursts, but he also has to add the smoke and burn they leave behind. It’s a process […]

Composers…

December 1, 2013

We’ve had such an enormous response from composers for Playground, and it’s going to take a while to sort through all the candidates. I spent some time refining scenes and cutting today.

An Effect for The Sphere…

November 28, 2013

Months ago Brad and I shot a short film with just the two of us called The Sphere. It’s about an effects artist, played by Bea Schreiber, who designs an effect that comes to life in the real world. We’ve been so busy on other projects that we haven’t made The Sphere our top priority, […]
