It's a small, little, local movie, but it's been something I've been dreaming of doing for years, and something I feel like my life has been gearing towards; a real test of mettle. I actually wrote the script for it 4-5 years ago and made half-hearted attempts to get it going then. However, it was a sudden death of a dear friend that crystallized it for me: if I want something done, I better do it now. I talk about movies all the time here, what I love, what I hate about new cinema; it's high time I put real money where my mouth is or shut up. I'm throwing my all at this endeavor and if this is the first and last film I'm going to make, I'm giving it all I've got.
I've mentioned before across various posts on this site that I'm a film-fan first and foremost. I only got into prop collecting as a means to feel closer to the films that I admire most, so my collection is very small and only contains things that I have genuine affection for. For a while now, I've been wanting to get away from just "replication" of things (and kind of leaving prop-making/collecting all together) and actually put my efforts to things that I can shape; the things I make having use, and I control its outcome. Again, the previous mentioned tragedy made it clear to me what I needed to do. I've hinted at this before but my ANH Kenobi Stunt Hilt project run was partially funding my budget, on top of my own savings. I am producing everything for this movie and will likely destroy myself in doing it.
If anyone follows me outside of the RPF, you'll already know what I've been currently up to but I wanted to do a proper "build log" here on the RPF for what I'm actually building for the film. I'll be doing props, costumes, SP/FX and FX make-up (what little there are), on top of actual production stuff like directing, filming, lighting, editing, titles, sound, etc. and I think it'd be fitting to post some stuff about it here as I go.
