DAY SEVEN – That Thing You Watch finale

Posted on: June 10th, 2010 by helen No Comments

“That Thing You Watch” IS WRAPPED!

Sadly and wonderfully the shoot for “That Thing You Watched” is officially wrapped! Though we battled through two hours of traffic and had to transform a large house with big windows into a night-time set, we made it! The morning was spent in elevators with crazy mirrors with the fantastic Marisa Loyd for “Throw It“, and we finished with a wonderful performance from Alexis McDougall as “Female Ghosthunter” in our mock “Ghost Hunters” reality show sketch.  Pat Whistler also did an amazing job acting, directing and filming the whole segment. Congratulations!

Ghost Hunters” was shot in night vision on a small handheld camera, literally what an amateur ghost hunter would use. Method filming? Yes. I had no idea how this was really going to turn out, but with the use of Karen and Nick Whistlers beautiful home, with all their furniture covered in erie white sheets and some flashlight action, the whole thing came out looking not only real but really visually exciting as well. Paul Kehs also did a great job at being the voice of the immature ghost and I can’t wait to see it all pulled together.

Which is the next step! Post Production is green lit, and we’ll be plowing ahead in the next two months to bring it all together and submit it to festivals. Are you excited? I am.

Congratulations to all of our wonderful cast and crew for making this happen! This movie would not be possible without you, and you all did an amazing job. From Pat, Paul & Helen – THANK YOU!!

Platform No. 1 – Short Film Screening!

Posted on: May 9th, 2010 by helen No Comments

Electric Train Productions is doing a screening of four short films on May 13th. It’s exciting to find a short film screening in the city, and they’ll be serving booze :) It will be a most excellent way to spend a Thursday night, with interesting people and great films. We’re all about the shorts, so it’s fun to have an opportunity to see other people’s work outside of the festivals.

A DJ set by the Parallels is also promised. Check out their sound at http://parallels.fm/
