Hit A Personal Snag!

Well, it's been a rough week.

I try to keep this blog on track by only talking about things that relate to the movie. I have often said I would like more time to work on this project. What's that old saying? Be careful of what you wish?

I'm not going to go into a whole lot of detail. All I will say is the one thing that has been keeping me from working on this movie on anything resembling a regular basis is no longer an issue. I, like so many in this economy, seem to have an average of an extra 60 hours a week to kill.

So, as idle hands are the work of the director, I hope to start filming the movie this week. I will start with the scene I mentioned in my earlier post (I haven't started it yet, sadly) and will see where it goes. With any luck, I will have something to show by this time next week.

See you all later!

Haven't Been Able to Do Much These Last Few Weeks!

Hey guys,

Well, what can I say? I haven't been able to do much of anything on the movie these last couple of weeks.

I was gearing up to film the first scene of the movie when my computer crashed. If that wasn't bad enough, a freak snow storm delivered 10-12 inches of snow here in Dallas and that pretty much put the rest of the city out of action. Everything has been on hold the last couple of days and it has really put a crimp on the movie.

A tech is suppose to come out and replace the mother board, cpu, heat sinks and memory on the computer tomorrow. If that happens, I should be able to start filming next weekend.

Now, when I say I'm filming the first scene, I don't mean the first scene of the movie. I mean it is my first scene. I want to start things off with a BANG so I'm gonna film the first meeting between Xam, Power Dog and T-Boom! It's got everything. All the characters, big action and a little humor. I'm hoping that by starting with that scene I will really get the filming ball rolling and not let it stop until I've filmed everything.

So, don't lose heart. I haven't given up. Once I have the first scene filmed I will edit it to see if everything lines up with my vision. If it does, I will think about posting the scene here on the blog. It was never my intention to put anything of the actual movie online, but I'm curious what kind of reaction I will receive. Like I said, though, I'm only thinking about it. I haven't made up my mind if I will.

I promis to try to keep posting on a more regular basis. That is, once my movie computer is back online!

Later!
