I am pleased to announce that picture editing on Fluffy will be completed tonight, and the rest of the week will be spent on sound design, sound editing, and developing the musical score. Barring an unexpected setback, a cut of the movie should be ready before Christmas Day.
A Rose for Sarah is the short film I shot during the Columbia College Semester in LA program, which brought me out to California to jump-start my career. We FINALLY got our hands on copies of the film. This probably is not going to be the final version, since there are still some tweaks that need to be completed. The sound is a little low, so make sure to turn it up!
The film is about Tom who is waiting nervously for someone at the local diner. When his date arrives, the reason for Tom’s strange behavior is revealed.
Fluffy is a short comedy about a stuffed bunny that is brought to life by a “mysterious” gypsy to wreak havoc on those who pick on a young boy. It was shot this past spring and has been put off again and again due to technical issues. However, the issues are almost fixed and the final product is heading your way! Although it was originally supposed to be released in May, Fluffy will be on it’s way within the next month! Here is the trailer for the original May release. Another trailer soon to come with an official date!
As of tonight, all the short films that were produced in association with Columbia College Chicago have been posted! You can view them via the links on the right (under “Pages”). Hopefully by tomorrow all of the scenes and excercises that were also produced with Columbia College will be up as well. For now, all of the pages have YouTube videos embedded into them, but each page is complete with cast, crew, and production notes!
Projects
Fluffy is still being edited. Between relocating to Los Angeles, finding a job, and landing an internship it’s been hard to stay consistent with it, but it is on it’s way! Once it’s done being edited it will be off to Limelight Studios in McHenry, IL so Mike “Unleaded Logic” Mertes can complete the score! I will keep you posted to any updates.
A Rose for Sarah is almost done! Some sound issues are being taken care of and then it will be exported to a quicktime file so I can release it to the world!
Stay tuned, there will be many more updates in the coming weeks!
