To Correct some Misconceptions

We would like to point out that there have been a number of statements on line that Casimir Effect is affiliated to the International Film School Wales or Newport Film School as it used to be known. This was true up to a point, in November 2009 it was agreed between ourselves and the university that we would leave university and take a year out to make Casimir Effect. This was with the view that we might return to complete out 3^rd year of our degree should we have time and feel the need to, this is still a bridge to cross.

Anyway this statement is to correct any misconceptions that have been floating around the internet about Gabriel and Lydia. As we are taking a year out we are still technically student by any legal definition. However we are not in attendance at any higher education establishment. This also means we aren’t graduates of any specific university until our degree is completed. Casimir Effect is an independent short feature made by students during a year out, and is not affiliated with any specific university.

We have become aware of a number of incorrect statements about Casimir Effect, Gabriel and Lydia. We will endeavour to keep an eye on any publicity surrounding Casimir Effect and correct any untrue statements or claims.

So it’s a Wrap

So Casimir Effect wrapped last weekend! We got all the scenes filmed and managed to just about stay on schedule! It was hectic, crazy, tiring but altogether fabulous! The cast and crew were all amazing and we could never thank them enough for all their incredible hard work.

We seemed to have somehow picked two of the coldest locations to film in, our main location the Coal Exchange was spectacular and perfect for Casimir Effect as mainly derelict. We took over a whole corridor and set of rooms, half of it painted up as sets, the rest taken over by Art, Costume and Make-up, Lighting, Camera and Grip equipment, as well as a Green room.

Each day up to 40 people came on location to work for us, the days were long, but the footage made it all worth it. Film making can be a very slow process but due to budget and time constraints we had to keep the whole show moving forward at breakneck speed, at times this was impossible but in the end it all got done.

Once again I would like to thank everyone who worked on Casimir Effect and all those who supported us during fundraising, we really wouldn’t have anything without you!

We have uploaded a handful more stills from the film, to keep you all interested, also we have started to auction of a few items of set dressing and Props, each of which comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. We will start putting more items and costume on the site in the next few days.

We are starting the long road of post-production, the editing, special effects and colour grading. So far we are only 4 days into rendering offline versions of the footage the massive (2TB) files down to an editable size! The deadline to get everything done by is December, so we can submit to Cannes.

Now onto Post-production

It’s late and I should be Asleep

Day 2 of filming is over only 10 more days to go. Things were a little hectic to start with but now everything is getting buttery. We’re getting some great shots and the rushes are looking fantastic. I’ll try to clear some stills this weekend, then you can see the progress so far.

Today’s shoot was good we had a few issues with external sound beyond our control, but we worked around them. Though the pigeons were annoying. The last scene of the day is the money shot, it just looks so stunning, it looks amazing. I want to get a still from this cleared ASAP.

Our crew have been fantastic, and I would love to give them all a hug, but it might get a bit weird. You’re doing stellar work peeps, keep it up Casimir Effect needs you and everyone’s contribution no matter how small is going to make this film great.

I would also like to thank all those who have followed helped so far, but the road is a long one and anything can happen in the next 10 days. Then we have to work on editing and marketing. Our budget goal has been reached and we need to push for that last part to keep the production running.

Second Budget Goal £10,000 GBP / £10,000 GBP 15th March 2010 (On Schedule)

We are keeping the anti noodle fund running, as we have 10 days of filming left and anything can happen. So this is a good chance to make your donations count.
