Yeah, it might be a plane trail, though I was keeping an eye out for them while shooting.
But later on in the story there will be a paramilitary group similar to the Enclave that will have airplanes, so there will be justification for the ocasional airplane trail or distand passing vehicle. Good way to cover my tracks
And avitar is one of several photos I took for fun that will eventually be the cover of the DVD case. You may notice that this also has a plane trail, which I purposely left in. I may decide to take it out in photoshop later, but I thought it looked nice so for the moment it stays.
Well, the day has come that I put this movie temporarily on the back burner. I'm moving into my new appartment for college and starting classes soon, and won't have much time before I move away to finish this whole thing. But I will be picking up production again when I come home for vacation in late December, and also hope to do a scene or two over the weekends after I get settled in at school. I happen to be going to college in a really economically depressed city (
www.fsc.edu in Fitchburg, Mass.) with plenty of abandon buildings and trashy streets, so I might even get some nice cinematic stuff for the traveling sequences. Only time will tell.
But a note to the moderators:
I will eventually finish this movie, so please don't vat this thread. When I first started this thread, Wooz mentioned to me that there have been threads on movie productions before, but they have often been abandoned and eventually vatted. I know how tough it is to make movies of any kind, let alone movies that require unusual locations and costumes etc etc. But I am doggedly loyal to my work and the small group of fans my previous movies have created, and I'm going to finish this one. So nobody out there forget about me and check back every once and a while because there will be updates
. And otherwise, thanks very much to everyone for actually taking an interest, and soon enough you'll all be able to download my movie and see the results.
NEW UPDATE as of SEPTEMBER 30th, 2005
In a quick blitz, I finished another scene that you folks havn't seen pictures of yet. It's the scene where Todd, the bartender, asks Gray to go find the missing girl Jessie. Origionally it was supposed to be Jessie's mom, Lola, but I cut out the character because the actress to play her was being uncooperative. Is that even a word? Nevermind, anyway, this is a shot of Gray in the doorway of his hotel room. I'll have more pictures when this is done being edited.
The thing I like about this scene is that at the last minute I improved a bit and added a couple lines to the script (to make up for the sudden character change) and now I've got a whole new plot twist: Gray has no memory of who he is or where he came from. In this scene, Todd asks Gray if he has a family, and Gray says "Not that I can recall" in a tone that sugests there's more to that statement than you hear. Later in the movie, Jessie will ask him where he's from and he'll explain that the farthest back he can remember is waking up in the desert, unhurt, with nothing but a broken pocket watch and the clothes he's wearing. What happened before this we'll never know. I dunno, anyone else like that idea?
So I've got four more scenes to finish, 3 of them being easy ones and the fourth being the big ass fight scene at the end which I probably will end up having to either cut down drastically or replace with something easier. Oh, and also, a friend of mine has made a
TRAILER for this movie, so whenever I find a website to upload it to for free download, you'll all be notified thus. Keep an eye on this thread for news and thanks for taking an interest.
UPDATE, OCTOBER 27, 2005
I'm currently scouting locations for the ruined city sequences, as well as for the ending fight that takes place in a ruined farm. There's a lot of abandon factories that look perfect and very Hub-ish in Fitchburg (ma), so I'll probably be coming up with some sweetness soon. Also going to be working hard in Garage band to create the music for the movie, as well as working on finishing off the trailer so I can have something to keep you folks interested. Will keep you all posted.
to me it lookis real junktown-fallout-ish
