We’re not for now, about £170 to go before the end of the year. And what an amazing year it has been, going through some of the past blog posts. It seems we have been on a fun and sometimes scary rollercoaster ride. To get to the point it has been fantastic and we couldn’t have done it without the help and support of the fanbase. We have seen the filming through, had clips and previews. Yet this is just a small part of the journey, we’re about half way there now. The edit is locked, the music is underway, and the sound is getting there and the CGI is being planned. Yet without you we couldn’t even be here without you, so a big thank you goes out to everyone who has helped, and always remember you are supporting independent film and creativity.

Yes there is still a journey left, once we have the post production underway, we need to start really digging into what festivals we can and need to enter. As we start looking around we will be looking out to fans to help research and promote at local festivals. We’re also hoping many of you can come to a festival, as we will keep a guest list for all those who have helped so you will get to see the film at a festival. Then as we have done each festival we can find independent cinemas for screenings, before we make Casimir Effect available for general release.

So in the New Year, we still have a fair amount to auction off, there is the soundtrack and the making of book. Also if we can get our head around any legal ramifications we may do pre orders on a limited run of the DVD, to be released after each countries premiere.

So for now let’s get that last £170 in the pot and move into the new year with big ambitions and the passion to carry them off.

We’re sat here at the flat looking out the window at the blizzard conditions, hoping it stops then we can get out and get post and t-shirts sorted. It looks great, but it’s cold and slippy out there, so much so a friend nearly did a lot of damage to herself today, lucky she was flexible enough. Everything seems to be slowing down or stopping near Cardiff, not good considering I spent the first half of the month curled up in bed with a serious case of the flu. This left me 2 weeks behind on everything, now the snow is slowing everything else down. Though it looks cool.

This all has the knock on effect that were running behind on this month’s goals, as I haven’t been about to get out to the lock up to get anything to auction off. I have a few hero costumes that I was hoping to spread out over the next few months. But I may put them all up this week so we can push towards the goals.

We’re also hoping that there is some Xmas/Holiday spirit out there, and some of you might be generous enough to donate something to help us get to the end of this month’s goals. Once this month is over we will have a lot less stress for funding and can dig in to get post production done and everything should start flying out of the door.

So dig deep and give what you can, help us get to that goal this month.

Production Stills – Day 10

This was our first day of filming at Mir Steel in Newport, it’s was cold, damp yet so atmospheric it kept us going. As some of you may have seen from the some of the location scouts and other images this was a phenomenal location.

Well this is a quick update, to say we’re moving forward, playing catchup mostly as there has been a nasty cold/flu thing going around. So on to the SFX list and the sound over the next few days. I still have a horrible hacking cough, which slows things down a  little but that should be gone soon.

Day Nine

And here is this weeks installment of the production stills. This was from the Atrium, with the green screen Work. We have some Publicity shots of Old Bob so we may put them out for all to see in the near future. So for now here is day nine.

This is just a quick post, slightly delayed due to a bad case of flu and runny-nose-itis. We have hit our end of November totals, it was a close one this month. So lets hope with the new merch on the store and a new batch of auctions this month we can hit the December totals and go into the New Year as happy bunnies.

I’m also working on a few Matte Paintings for Casimir Effect and I’m planning on putting together a post on how this all goes together to create the reality needed to tell the story. It’s quite a complex task, though not massively time consuming but you have to know where you want to go and how your going to go about it. I’m also doing a spot of Rotoscoping now this eats up days at a time.

As we previously mentioned on Twitter and Facebook that we would make the talk available for you to listen to, and or read, here is the audio file. I Bananas has been working on transcribing and condensing what has been said so you don’t have to listen to an hour of the talk. Various sections of the talk are now on the Casimir Effect Live Journal for you to read, this also has some pictures to go with what was being talked about.
