Brief Video Update

Goodnight world.

Back in Buissness

Hey everyone. I know that not too many of you read this, but if you have been following the production track for the western, you will know that i was waiting partially on getting a new machine.



There we go. 24-inch iMac, 2.8 GHz 4 GB of RAM. The thing is a beast. Final Cut Studio 2 should be shipping in the next few weeks (right after Christmas) so the studio will be nearly complete.

Shooting will begin hopefully right near the beginning of June, so expect new updates regarding that.

I also am going to be engineering and producing my best friend, Phillip Willis', solo project album. I'll play some instruments on it such as drums, electric guitar, keys of all sorts and other various instruments. Look forward to that and add him on myspace here.

So anyways, GB will be updated more often now and i'm thinking of starting a podcast on here. Anyone interested?

goodnight!

Official Statement

Hey guys.

It is with much sadness that i must announce that we are postponing the shooting of the film. I stayed up late last night thinking about it and i realized that we are nowhere near ready and it would be unfair to you, the viewer, if the quality of the film suffered due to a rushed schedule. We don't want to compromise the integrity of the script due to a lack of time to properly execute things.

This is not the end though so fret not! We are merely waiting untill we have time to properly put things into play. Hopefully soon. So stay strong everyone and we assure you that this thing will come out looking gorgeous.

take care

The In-Between

Hey crew, Tim here with a short update. I have held off on posting the blood demos video due to the fact that i haven't had the time to finish it. Let me just say however, that the demos were extremely productive and we found a few methods that will definately be used for the film.

So at the moment we are at that uncomfortable "in-between" stage, which is a little aggitating for me because i am pretty much ready to shoot, yet there are stil things that need to be done. Schedule's need to be drawn out and equipment obtained. I still need to talk to Kyle, and figure out when and how i am getting that DVX100A for the shoot and for how long i will be able to use it. I figure that if all goes according to plan, we can compress our shooing days into about 12-14 days of shooting, but hopefully less. The less stress i have on the production, the smoother everything will hopefully go.


Ok, well that's all the news for now. Sorry about the lack of updates, and i promise that the 10th Production Blog will include the much anticipated Blood Demo entry.

Cheers.

Production Blog 9

Greeetings everyone. I'm here this morning to bring some very good news. The Rough Draft/Shooting Draft of the script is complete. I finished it last night around 9:30pm, yet i waited to post the news untill i had sent two copies to the mian actors (Phillip Willis and Nathan Willis). I told everyone it would be finished by the 18th, but I made it three days early. Score. I know I had said that i was nearing completion of the script back in June...but I kept adding more and more meat to the script, trying to flesh out the characters and add as much visceral action as possible. I did just that, and that's the reason why the script took longer than originally announced.

So here we go guys, we are underway. Blood demos are being conducted tomorrow at Unit K with Bob and John Forward, my long-time associates, so expect some excellent results as usual. I will be bringing my handy Digital 8 and will be capturing everything for a video entry for Production Blog 10. Starting double digits. hahaha. sweet.

Anyway, this is where things start to get intense, as schedules need to be put in place and positions and roles need to be filled. Let's just hope everything falls into place.

First production meeting with cast and crew will be sooner than expected, which is very good news because that therefore gives us more time to get things situated.

Allright well, Apple Camp is continuing here at work, so there's a bunch of little rascals running around in yellow shirts.

Have a great day, and let's make a good movie.

Live from the Apple Store AKA Production Blog 8.5

Hey gang, it's insanely slow at work right now so i just wanted to give a super quick update on one of our Macbooks here. Hahaha. Anyway, onto the update. I talked to one of our producers, Kyle Kaplan, our connection for the DVX100A, and he said eveything is going smoothly and we should get extensive access to the camera. With our shooting date 3 weeks away, this is very good news.

Allright well, customers are here so it looks like i gotta work now.

Script finished by July 18th! I SWEAR!!!

Production Blog 8

Hey folks, back again. Well, things are getting ready to go underway on the western here, and i am extremely excited to see this thing start to take life of its own. Phil and the others are all at Ironwood this week, so we will start calling production meetings as soon as they get back. Projected first day of shoot is most likely July 30th, but again that is just a projected date. We'll see how many days we really need to shoot and how many days i can get the camera.

Anyway, the script is like 95% finished. I keep getting too busy to just sit down and write the stinking thing. But that will be done with this weekend probably.

If ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO BE INVOLVED WITH THE FILM: Email me at tbuel@mac.com. That is the ONLY way you can contact me regarding the film, otherwise send me a myspace message. I won't talk about the film through myspace however, but i will give you that email address in order to get more information. thanks.


aight gang, i'm off to work. peace
