No Respite Productions

A Fine Day out will be the next release from No Respite Productions.

The film itself is fairly whimsical in nature compared to Chavular, it tells the story of two friends who become stranded after a day out (which incorporates one of the most homo-erotic montages ever created) and must rely on their two less than reliable friends to help them out.

Will they be rescued in time? Will they f***.

This feature was once again another very simp...

So desperate am I to produce something that I've referred once again to my back catalogue of previous works (as small as it is).

The next production that you'll see unleashed on the web was a previous film, done back in 2007 before Chavular. It is a whimsical comedy based around two friends going on a day out together. When their car is stranded, their only hope of rescue lies with their two less than reliable friends.

So all in all, very light heart...

Inspiration can come from the strangest of places.

I was watching the brilliant That Mitchell and Webb Look on BBC and they have a fantastic sketch on there called The Quiz Broadcast. What's funny about this sketch is that this light hearted piece of entertainment seeminly takes place in a post-apocalyptic future where people are constantly told to "stay indoors" and a thing known as "the event" is referenced as causing the current state of affairs. The event it...

This blog has been very quiet because no filming has taken place recently. No filming has taken place because it's been incredibly difficult to find a date that two or more people can agree to.

 This is a very common problem with amateur film making, normally people are incredibly busy with this, that and the other. So you try to arrange something even a month away and it turns out that people have weddings/holidays/stag dos etc. It's fair enough, but it do...

Hello!

Again another recommendation for some software that I found recommended online, and this is specifically for when you've finished your production, and you want to create something special out of it. Whether it's a keepsake, or something that you can sell to friends and family... even hand out to the cast and crew as a thank you for all their hard work.

Hello!

So probably the 2nd to last post on Chavular before the actual film release online (13th April) and then after that I will be focusing 100% on Ring of Death - our new production.

The Chavular launch party takes place on Monday at the same time as the film is released online. This in reality is just a small gathering with some friends where we'll be providing food and of course, entertainment in the form of the Chavular film.

I figured it would be quite ...

Progress on the Chavular film is going quite well at the moment. I'm really looking forward to showing the whole thing on the 13th April, even more so now that we've made a house party out of it!

In the meantime I've been adding incidental music throughout the film. These are just short brief musical interludes, often a few synthesised notes that have been created by me to add tension to the overall scene.

I blogged about this a while ago, but

Hello all! Well it's finally done! The Chavular trailer is launched and live and ready to view from the home page, or from the Videos page as well.

I must admit, this was only edited in one evening and I really didn't want to spend tons of time on it, especially given that there are several sound issues I need to resolve, as well as the more pressing matter of getting the new Ring of Death movie back up and running.

Which is looking good, I'm act...

Hello there,

Quick update, the financial situation is looking better thank god, so it's now looking as though the Ring of Death film will be back in production soon enough (pending a revised and streamlined script).

In the meantime, a rough re-cut of PX 3 (now retitled Chavular) has been completed and some small visual effects and grading has been added to the overall production. A trailer should be online by Monday, and the actual film itself will no doubt be release...

As mentioned previously on the blog, the filming for the feature length film "Ring of Death" has undergone a slight hiatus whilst financial issues are resolved. However work has not stopped completely. Whilst Adam S has been doing some slight sound edting for the film Ikari (only a couple of scenes) there will be additional tweaks to the Ring of Death script.

The tweaks will hopefully allow for a smoother narrative flow, an ov...
