Well, the masterpiece (?!?!) is nearly complete and thankfully everything did come together at the last minute, despite my worries that we'd never get it all done in time. Hurrah! I'm not quite as bad a producer as I thought I was!

This little film has certainly been a steep learning curve for all of us. Whoever thought that a six minute movie short would take four intense months to create and would absorb so much time and energy? Not only was this our first movie, but it was our first experience with acting, script-writing, directing, producing, green-screening, compositing, editing, sound-recording, mixing and production.

Thanks to the cast and crew for all their hard work and their endless patience! Well done!

And lastly, no action packed movie is complete without its first Major Blooper!

So kudos to Assistant Director Sam for spotting the Bulbous Blooper during the final proof of the movie (literally just before the upload to the festival web site!) Cripes, we'd forgotten the main prop in the penultimate scene! Time for a last minute emergency re-shoot and audio revamp!

Nearly complete now, folks. Only a few days to go before viewing opens....

Only a few days? Yikes! Back to work...
