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!

Mission Statement

It is SS: Humanity’s mission to follow the guidelines set up be the Environmental Media Association (EMA) and Green Set to make an eco-friendly film from pre-production to post.

Panagrant

Wonderful news! SS: Humanity was offered the Panagrant through Panavision. This is a prestigious honor! Thanks to every one's hard work. Our D.P. Kyle did a wonderful job putting the pitch together! On another note, we pitched our idea to Kodak and are receiving some free film!

Only 2 weeks away!

Cosmologist

Welcome Clyde J. Bruff to the SS: Humanity Team. He will be playing our Cosmologist.

Lake Tahoe Retreat Photos

Here's a bit of a taste of the Lake Tahoe Retreat, for all of you who couldn't be there. Fun time test shooting, and prepro-ing.

Format Decision

So, after way too much hemming and hawing, the decision of what format to shoot in has been resolved. Primarily due to financial concerns, we have decided to move away from the option of shooting Red, and have opted to shoot on Super 16mm.

It is my hope that no one feels disappointed by this choice, but if anyone is feeling that they have been shorted, in that they signed on when we had hoped to shoot Red, or 35mm, you are welcome to contact me privately and be excused from any crew calls, no strings attached.

I am very excited for the weeks ahead, and I hope that everyone else is ready for a great experience.

Here's a great site on how I think we should obtain carbon credits for our vehicles and flights.
