A year from now, hmmmm. I have a bigger plan, which I suppose this all fits into. I have an idea for a blockbuster movie which I hope to be my debut - but that I will only shoot when I have the right money & resources for it, that may not be until I'm an old man. Oh well. And I bet by THEN someone else will have made my movie [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I have three initial projects in mind, which I envisage as my three main "experience gaining" projects, tho my track record isn't brilliant but by this time next year I hope to have shot WHOLE WIRED WORLD. That is really all I anticipate, as my other main project is currently screwed until I figure out a way to access Public Liability Insurance!!
These movies are to be shot no DV, any quality - I'm not fussed. It's the quality of my production skills, directing and DoPing that I'm focussing on mostly. I'd love to buy an XL2 or a 2nd hand XL1s but that is a long way off, I have a good job re time off but its not so good re pay.
Anything else completed by this time next year I'll consider a bonus, that includes other people's projects that I'll have helped on and can "add" to my showreel (i.e. Treasure of the Templars).
I may also set up a formal business by that point, I just need to research how well an independent stock footage company would run!

Well, in the last week of August I intend to at least get through a first draft of (working title) Chi Xi Stigma. Right now it's about a dragon, a system administrator and a 2000 year old Greek philosopher who converses with a seashell called Lisa.
By September I should know if Crooked Features has been accepted into any more festivals of (semi)note, namely Raindance and Slamdance.
By this time next year I hope to be in preprod on Chi Xi Stigma whilst selling pressed DVD copies of Crooked Features and whoring/syndicating the rights to anyone who might be interested.
And I want to get rid of the last Windows XP computer from my house.
Chi Xi Stigma evolved into a dark comedy-drama (don't ask) and it is in pre-production. Sexton Lovecraft.
Pressed DVDs were not economically viable. Instead you can order the DVD here or get it for iPod/PC/etc here. You can give it marks out of ten on IMDb here.
I will be getting rid of my last Microsoft machine within the next few days! Dreams can come true!
I've been wanting to ask for a while now...
What the hell will Sexton Lovecraft be? [img]smile.gif[/img]
Another mocumentary? A feature, short what? [img]smile.gif[/img]
I said don't ask!
At the moment it's planned to be a 26 minute comedy and involves a paranormal investigator, two students, a granny, two secret agents, and a call from Cthulhu via a Scrabble board.
haha, sounds like fun....
When you said dont ask I thought you meant regarding how it evolved in to a dark comedy [img]smile.gif[/img]
Anyway, sounds fun - why so long a pre-production phase? What issues are you tackling?
