It such a pity that you can’t yell ‘It’s a wrap!” and magically have a finished movie; post-production, editing and special effects is all yet to come. Then festivals, sales and hopefully distribution and even more panic.

We finally managed to escape to confines of the Coal Exchange, so all our lovely sets are now plain and magnolia again. It seemed to take forever to clear all the costumes, props and general debris from the place, but finally it is all done.

We have already started to sell off some of the props and costumes from the film, so please continue to support Casimir Effect by visiting our eBay page. We will be adding new auctions weekly, so keep your eyes peeled, as all the money goes back into the film to get through post and marketing.

We will also soon have some more exclusive prints, which are stills from the film We will select another limited edition five images of Gareth and auction 15 of each off via eBay, and have other stills available to buy through the store. The continuing fundraising will see us through post-production, so we can maintain a high standard and also help to cover some of the costs for conventions and festivals.

Casimir Effect will still be attending Wales Comic Con in Wrexham this weekend (25th April), though sadly Gareth David-Lloyd is trapped in Australia due to Volcano. To make up for it, we will be showing some very brief and very roughly edited clips from Casimir Effect, nothing to spoilery I promise! So come along and help support us and Wales Comic Con, as conventions like this will give you opportunities in the future to see Gareth and other stars and get exclusive items.

So we are still busy, busy and editing is currently underway. For a more up to date please follow Casimirfilm on Twitter. Gabriel Tweets when he should be editing, but at least he gets it done. We’re not sure how much we will have edited for Wales Comic Con, but will have a few minutes to show.

In other news, we have given a nod to the development of a Making of/Behind the scenes book for Casimir Effect. So we will keep on top of this and see where it goes hopefully we can get a high quality end product out that will give those who have been following us all along some more insight into everything we have done.

We are also looking at sales agents at the moment, so that after the festivals we can get DVD and other things released. We have also been contacted by a French film festival with regards to showing Casimir Effect.

Thanks once again for your support so far with this film, it has been amazing!

Casimir Effect is still talking up most of my life, as early casting has started and hopefully we will have contracts signed and big announcements soon. Read-through’s will take place the second week of September, to iron out the last bits of the script.

I am so, so happy with the work on the theme song so far by the lovely Nina Barnfather! Been humming the song for several weeks now, can’t wait to get the final recording done. We have another band doing a song for us, but not much can be said about that yet! But I am very happy with how things are moving along.

Render tests and art department stuff is looking good, colour palettes and a few props are being worked on. I think the footage from the 4D camera we will be using is more convincing than the AVATAR preview, plus no one has to wear silly glasses!

We have several options for multi award winning Cinematographers and a sound studio with engineers for the final mix arranged.

For the next few weeks I will be organising and writing for what I am provisionally calling ‘Iolanthus Online’, which will be a multiplatform interactive blog/social networking ARG (Artificial Reality Game). We are currently recruiting actors/writers; the story will be the lead up to Casimir Effect.

Full on pre-production is now on the event horizon and down the wormhole we go!
