Yep, you know that you have heard that I have finished recording and is under the ediring process, and you know, the editing is comeplete with all sound and effects included, but would the boss be satisfied?
Yes is the answer.
Despite the fact that the music is a little loud, the film has been given the green light and is a major success.
And speaking of filming, this post also announces the fact that I'm going to upload videos of the entire course one by one with a explination behind it.
hope you understand.

Certain cast changes and Finally!
During the filming on Monday, David was meant to take on the main role of the general, but I didn't generally like his tight schedule, so before I went on filming, I replaced him with Josh Tulley, who was also at the scene during the time due to a more sufficient time schedule as well as the correct physic and acting skills I require.
I am apologetic for not telling you this in a earlier post, but it does make sense as it is generally changing the main cast.
During the Monday filming, Haley was there on scene which may be sufficient, but she too had a tight schedule which makes me film only two scenes with her then she had to go, which does annoy me a bit.
And when it was fully announced that she could not come at all, I considered replacing her with a LSA or my Mother.
In the end, I chose my mother, the cast change is complete, and the acting of both actors is superb on Friday which enabled me to film all the footage I need, so give good thanks to them.

No hope
At first you think they would come, but then they didn't due to needing to do their own work.
David and Haley are nice people as they offered to be a part of my film, but they just don't turn up.
And it is a tight scedual with them as evidented on monday due to them having to go after about a hour (hence why I only recorded about half of the story board and not the whole thing).
If they know themselves that they are too busy, then why did they agree to be in my film in the first place?

From Delays to finally
Well finding the actors was easy thanks to Miss Oddy, but getting them on filming days is the hard part.
Yes, last week from the date this post has been created, the actors did not make it due to a tight school scedual or helping with something.
But then, yesterday at Monday, they had showed up and I filmed a good amount of scenes from the storyboard before closing it in for the day due to light levels fading.
But it was just enough for being satisfied that I had actually done something.
But anyway, give thanks for Daniel and Haley for actually making it on location, the full cast list will be included soon.

Storyboards/Script
Well, here are the storyboards, and from there you know the plot of the film opening, and not to mention what it begins: A cat and mouse chase between a character that audiences doubt and a cyborg from a long since burned out planet.
As for the script, I really only needed one thing to remind me what is going on, so it is that I only made the storyboard or I combined the storyboard and the script.

What is and isn't
There are certain things noted within my own film project, and so will explain certain things.
The editing of the film may be commenced at my home instead of the Windsor Boys School, the reason being in because I distrust the school system and the editing program is not similar to the one I regularly work with.
So I will edit at home because it feels more comfortable and has got a editing program which I recognise, and after all, after years of using the brand of the editing program (Pinnacle) I could be able to edit the film without delays from anything for 1 or 2 days.
I have seen the deadlines and schedual of what needs to be done, and I saw that there has to be a rough draft and a final draft of the film.
When I edit my own videos at home, I always feel satisfied with the final result and therefore am use to the fact that when you makee and edit the film, then the film is made.
It was also said that there has to be video posts of the progression of the filming (or rather more a film diary), well the amount of these videos could be limited due to producing the film at the instant on spot, so there may be a chance of one or two before the film itself is posted there.
hope you understand.

Meeting today + rush to it!
Today there is going to be another meeting between me and my crew, presumably about storyboard disscussing and finalising several things.
Having a meeting for the second time helps me to understand that there has got to be several meetings every now and then to disscuss things about the film, but it has to be the last meeting.
The reason being is because Miss Oddy reccomends me to start filming at this very week (the week this post was posted), and now everything needs to be really stirred up and put to work instantly tommorow at period 5 through to after school.

Meetings and Delays
On the 11th March, there was a meeting between me and my actors in the Drama department, disscussing several things aswell as agreements or dissagreements of several things.
The meeting helped me realise the true side of making films instead of how I usually do it at home (Ironically I recorded a episode during the weekend), in which it is all about agreeing or disagreeing and analysing things like polaticians, not to mention that the rest of the props is going to be supplied by one of my actor's friends.
But there will be another meeting sometime else this week, which proves to be a disadvantage because it will delay filming.
Yes, I admit that I am in a delay, as filming has not even commenced, and it's even worse because Miss Oddy told me that filming has to be commenced this week, and it's bad because I am still helping Peter's company with their own filming.
Hope you understand this crisis.

Delays
Well, I try to get on moving with my film, as the story board is complete and the actors have been ordered.
But the Problem is the timing, because apart from military suits, I still lack the other militart props, like a higher-rank hat, a military stick and a gun (fake).
Also I am helping another group with their camera work due to having a work shortage, so that stlows things up, but it is better to help someone.

Sound of Sound
You should be wondering about the sound involved with the production of this movie, well it will be told now.
My camera is running on tape, which is a problem due to the fact that you can hear the tape running while recording, and that would disturb the diagetic and non-diagetic sounds.
So what I will do is let the camera run for a couple of seconds, then put the soundtrack over the non-diagetic/silent clips to maintain a good balance.
Music is a difficulty as I couldn't play a musical instrument, but my home does have a piano so that I could junk in some notes of the best match to create a tune.
Non-diagetic sounds will be supplied by myself from different sources, especially mechanical to give the Metrazort some life into it, but the rest will bepend on the diagetic side of things.

Photos
Well, I told you I'll show you some photos, otherwise you won't know what is or isn't at all.
Anyway, after this paragraph, look at the photos and afterwards, read further this post.
As you can see, the photos are actually set backgrounds for the Metrazort to be animated in front of (Ray Harryhusen style), but it's not entirely cheaply using photos already used, because there is two which will show how the Metrazort will be animated.
Should you worry about scale, well no worries, because I can animate the Metrazort at certain distances from a background to keep it in scale.
Finally, you sould wonder what would happen to those things after the filming.
The Metrazort will be kept intact and put into storage to be re-useable.
The background images will be in storage too.
The hilt that holds the background images will be dismanteled for the blocks and plates to be re-used later.
The post ends here, hope you understand.

Back from the holiday + Explinations about certain things.
I'm back, and it was a nice holiday too.
Anyway, pictures might soon be uploaded as soon as I get their files, in the meantime, it is good to settle in with other things.
I decided to name my production company after my own cartoon strip character "ROMBES", the reason being is not because I want you to knowof the character, but the antoganist of the opening comes from that strip, so I thought it would be suitable enough.
So anyway, I may hate to reveal things in my blog, but I should tell you that the film's name is "Metrazort" which is like a basic cat and mouse game that a soldier is chasing a killer cyborg, but the key for the audience is: due to what he said at the opening, would you follow the guy? and do you feel sorry for the guy? and with that in mind, thinkig about what he will deserve in the film before the film reveals the conclusion.
The Metrazort is the alien in the film, what it is in fiction is way too long to put in this blog (if you want to find out more about the metrazorts, alert me), but I can tell you that the prop is made out of lego technic, and basically (apart from the head) avoided using parts recognisable from bionicle to keep it out of copyright.
Finally it should be told that the legs and arms pop off at times unless handled with care, which comes to show that the prop is clearly not a toy, but seriously a prop.
hope you understand.
