Space Station Humanity Feature Script

Last night I finished the first draft of the Space Station Humanity feature film script.

The first draft is the first step and I am very excited about where the project is going.

Time Lapse Video

I'm sure this has been far too long coming...

Picture Lock

It's official! Anthony and I have picture locked S.S. Humanity! Now we are going to focus seriously on sound and FX. It was a long road and I am so excited to continue until the film is complete. :)

Editing Process

So it has been a long editing process but we picture lock next Wednesday!!! Crazy!

We have been receiving so much tremendous feedback and I cannot wait to get the FX and music in!

Our great composer Miles Bergsma started sending mock ups and they sound awesome!

We also casted the Attendant, Kelly Noonan, and shot last Sunday. Kelly was so wonderful!

Starting Director's Cut

I am back in Orange to work on the Director's cut and to also oversee the beginning of the special fx! We will most likely be doing ADR in the next couple weeks. Miles Bergsma, our amazing composer, has started the music and I can't wait to give him a new cut and hear what he is stirring up!

Congratulations!

Thank you everyone for your hard work and dedication to the production of this film. We just finished principal photography and have our weekend 1 footage back. Once weekend 2 arrives in our digital delivery system at school we will start our first edit!

I am so excited to finish this and make something truly spectacular!
