While there still isn't a lot of hard
news to report, I thought I'd bring everyone up to date with the
progress we've made toward the shoot.
The Teaser
Jon Cunningham, director and co-writer
on Demon Under Glass, is editing the short. He's started only a few
days ago as we had other obligations that kept him from that task
until now. He shot the scenes in a very precise manner with editing
them in mind. We are planning on the video going live on the fund
raising site Indiegogo.com two weeks from today. At this point in
time, we are not sure if it will be cross posted on Youtube. We want
as many people as possible to visit the fund raising page, thus cross
posting is unlikely. However, we will be shooting an interview with
Garett and Owen and possibly other cast members for a Gothic horror pod
cast. We will also have an interview about the web series
specifically for Garett's fans that will be forwarded to the people
who run his web site. Links to those interviews will be posted here.
I have some great questions for the podcast. If you have any, pleas
ask in the comments or contact us by email. Our contact lists are in
the menu on the right hand side of the page. The script for the
teaser was approximately six pages. I think the teaser will be
somewhere around five minutes. We hope to convey a mix of humor and
horror on par with Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Web Series Script
The script is still in the works.
However, since it stems from two short stories that will appear in
the next Demonspawn: On the Run anthology, we know what will be in
it. The only addition to those stories is an opening with Simon being
very, very naughty and incredibly frightening. We needed an
introduction of that part of his nature to establish how much
potential danger Joe McKay is in and how much danger the characters
who threaten them are in. I plan to have the script done shortly
before we do the podcast, in about two weeks. I want the cast to know
what's in store for them before we do the interviews. Incidentally,
the next anthology will be released shortly after the fund raising
campaign goes online.
From the storyline we have, there are
ten sets/locations: Operating room (nightmare/flashback scenes),
downtown loft apartment, two downtown alleys, city street, public
library, gastro pub, fancy hotel suite, town square gazebo, and a
downtown roof top. We have priced all of these locations save for the
downtown loft apartment. I plan on doing that sometime next week.
That is the last unknown to be solved before I can complete budgets.
I say budget because there will be an optimal, a minimal and an in
between. Indiegogo.com allows it's participants to keep whatever is
raised. The amount that we will be shooting for in the campaign is
the optimal budget that gives us all the crew and the bells and
whistles in post that will make this web series rise above the din
and find the widest audience possible. All of these bells and
whistles will be covered here, so our readers will completely
understand how the production will work. We will reveal some of the
clever ways we've found for saving a ton of money while keeping the
production values high. And, of course, we will be answering any
production related questions fans may have along the way.
That's it for now. Next week, I'll have
a firm date for the teaser, updates on the podcast and other goodies!
