Mother's Day

It's may 10th. We wrapped principal photography for the CineNovel, "The Plunge of Icarus," Friday, May 8th. A great production, a whole new arena. We learned a great deal to apply to the 2nd book which will titled, "The Rise of Icarus."

In the coming months we will be selecting final shots, doing the CGI and compositing and working toward an inventive lay-out that will do the book justice. from there we will be meeting with printers in order to get the final book published and then we're into distribution.

Everyone involved has been wonderful and supportive, and their hard work is reflected in amazing images that will used to illustrate the first ever, coffee table science-fiction picture book, hereafter called, CineNovel.

Production Continues

It's May 3rd and cast and crew continue to experiment, to discover the philosophy behind a CineNovel. We have completed seven days of principal photography, with four remaining. There is something to this, crossing the basics of photography with cinema, with literature and storytelling. The actors, in general, didn't waste time or energy memorizing lines, as all they need to do is get through the emotional range within a scene. 

We're shooting "limbo" (primarily an empty stage, with actors being placed to fit into previously shot plates from locations at a church and the famous Ennis House in Los Angeles, as well as an air force base. We've learned a great deal which will certainly be put to use in the sequel, and the third and fourth and so on.

Once we wrap I will certainly be better prepared to create a continuing blog on the edit process, post production, printing and marketing.
