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

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.
