The Hub 3 – Day 1 Pt2

Well the rest of the day went well we ended up going back to the Hilton, where we bumped into a few people we know, and someone we hadn’t seen for years. We handed out a few flyers but the night was more about getting the lay of the land.

We saw the most bizarre thing, a Bucking Sheep, Gareth provided a nice demonstration for us. He only lasted 51 seconds. Let’s hope he can hold on to that sheep a bit longer next time, as that is rather a disappointing effort for a welsh boy.

Were heading back over there now, to get our passes and talk a few people’s ears off about the film.

The Hub 3 – Day 1 Pt1

Were in Birmingham well Birmingham airport, and the most exciting thing so far has been the bunnies outside my hotel window. Had a quick change to pop over to the Hiltion, not staying there too expensive, the Hilton is starting to fill. Some advice to anyone coming to the Hub 3 on Saturday morning, bring food you’re looking at £15 for a burger and £10 for a sandwich. Well back on to the positive side, I think this year is going to be a good one slightly odd because of the build up and what not. I’m looking forward to meeting with people talking about the film and generally getting the buzz out there.

We also negotiated a deal at The Big Sleep in Cardiff, we should be able to get room discounts for the fund raiser, use of one of their conference facilities for workshop and read trough’s. Also we can offer one night stay at the hotel, as part of the package for the photo shoot. Yay go us!

We’re going to head back over for the Hub party tonight and mingle. I hope to see some of you there.

I Web, you Web, we all Web together

Were not dead yet, though it might seem that way, we have been busy this month, We have cast our final main character, though we cannot announce who it is yet it’s a good one and I’m sure some of you out there will squee a bit over the casting. Hopefully in a few weeks time we can announce this.

We have started looking at locations now, there are a number of places we would like to use and a number of places we can use. The problem is the ones we can use are not much use unless we spend a lot of money on them, so we will dig in at the ones we want until we get a price we want and hopefully that price is free. Well let s look at it this way to build the sets would be a minimum of £8,000 and that’s most of our budget, so getting locations even at low cost is worth it.

We are on our way to reaching the Christmas goal of £5,000 raised. At the moment the post stands at around £380, it will go up to around £500 after this round of auction, and the next auctions will have sorter lengths so we can get the pot filling faster. We also have a number of other angle to get our budget, Mostly it means going through the flat finding what we don’t use/need and selling it. So a few odd things may appear in the auctions, but everything will still go to the film. We will also be opening our donation/sponsorship system you can support us with donations.

The main reason for being quiet here is we have been working on the website, version one should be going live on the 24th October. We won’t close down the social networking sites, however all main news updates will be on the new website, and we will post links to the social media sites. This is basically to save time, then we don’t have to post as much, in most cases we can set up an RSS feed. We will however encourage those following us to post comments and be an active part of the new site.

We will be at the Hub 3 in Birmingham this weekend so if you are there track us down and say hi.

Wrexham and Beyond

It’s been a few days since I have had chance to sit down and take it the scenery. So let’s try and do this in some level of chronological order. We have had audition for our lead actress; I can’t give names just yet, but she is good and overall fits our ideas of Alice. Next week I’ll pop out a press release confirming everything to do with the main roles.

The auctions are doing well, a big thank you goes to all those bidding, and I do hope you keep vigilant as they seem to have days of jumping around. At least money raised for these should be enough to start developing merchandise for the Hub 3 in Birmingham. Our aim is to make around £5,000 by Christmas 2009, both from merchandise, auctions and private funding.

Wrexham was good, for a small con it did well this year, there were a few names and plenty of interested. I think the only negative I could find was lack of publicity, so it was still quite small. However we should be at the next one with more promotion for us and we will do lots of promotion for Wales Comic-Con. There was mention that the next one will be in about 6 month’s time. I’m unsure at this time if Gareth will be there, I think the general idea was to be, but this all depends on prior commitments.

The Blue Gillespie Gig was good, an odd shape venue, but overall it worked out well. It was good to meet a few of you out there and talk a bit about the film and our plans. The Picture below is by Jann Tarrant. I will say if any of you are looking for a Photographer she is a good choice along with Mark Crowle Groves.

After the gig I was whisked off to the set of the Sherlock Holmes film Gareth is working on, it was interesting to see a full scale shoot in action and see hoe a different crew do things. Everything in this industry is a learning curve, and every film has a different way of doing things.
