No Respite Productions

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 overall shorter and easier to shoot production whilst injecting a little more humour into the overall film. The script itself underwent so many initial tweaks with new ideas and plot points being thrown in that a lot of the events feel slightly overengineered and out of place. Although that may just be me being a perfectionist.

In other more exciting news - there will be a re-edit of Project X III - The Tormentor. Our last film was done with Windows Movie Maker and that was it. Now that we have the awesome Sony Vegas and Effectslab products, it feels as though a retreatment would do the film justice. Technical issues surround this feat however, the original movie file and source footage was lost during my hard drive wipe.

I managed to recover about 80% from a friends website who was hosting the film - but sadly the last 20% had become corrupted. The remaining 20% was recovered from YouTube and using the Super software I was able to not only recover the final 20% from YouTube - but even upgrade the overall quality of the footage to a startling degree. More on that soon in a future blog post.

Cheers,

Adam
