I have been horribly remiss in not staying current on this blog for "Plunge of Icarus." It has been due the immense workload of bringing the world's first CineNovel to fruition.

We are now heavily into post-production, compositing the photography of our actors/characters with the various background plates we shot. The novel was endorsed by the U.S. Air Force, which granted us unlimited access to Edward's Air Force Base near the Mojave Desert. As you can imagine, the scope of the plates we captured has served to make "Icarus" look larger and more impressive than ever imagined.

The artistic side has been clammed up a bit by the realities of finance. We are currently in our 2nd round of financing, chasing down contacts to finish the book. We're entertaining a good deal of interest from various sources, especially since we are now considering releasing the CineNovel as an e-book as well as traditional print. Nothing like the prospect of high-tech to prick the ears of investors.

The pages we have produced have served as a proof of concept, working beautifully as a marriage of images with literature.

I will try and do a better job of keeping this blog updated.
