Casimir Effect: The New Site

Hello and welcome to the new Casimir Effect website. We always said we were going to do a redesign once we had done with filming, so maybe it’s just a little late? Hopefully this design is a little easier for you folks to use and enjoy. We have also added a like button at the bottom of each post so go on click it and let your friends know.

As a special treat, we will be updating the gallery with production stills for the next ten weeks. These are exclusive behind the scenes images taken during the filming of Casimir Effect. We are still trying not to give too much of the plot away, so the images are spoiler free, but will hopefully whet your appetite for the film some more.

Editing , yo-ho-ho and a Bottle of Rum

Wow has it been such a long time since the last update, well I guess time flies. The edit is coming together now, the pacing is good and the scene juggling is starting. There is still a lot of work to be done at this stage. We’re getting to the top of the hill and from here on in it’s going to be a fast ride to the end.

We may or may not need to reshoot one scene, we’re going to see if we can work some editing magic on it. And as always the intro to the film is a hot topic of debate, we need to balance exposition and setup with pace and feel. We will get there in the end.

We’re looking to do another big round of auctions after the teaser is out, then we can put the main costumes up and get you something nice to look at. And we will build up to that with some other odds and ends, maybe start on the weird and wonderful stuff taking up space.

We’re still just scraping by with funding, so all your help and donations are appreciated. Keep up the good work. And hopefully if we can pick up the pace funding-wise so we can make it to some of the conventions and festivals and meet you all.

Wales Comic Con

Sadly it’s has been cancelled for this September, so the exclusive film still prints we were looking to release and sell there will be done for Sex, Wales and Anarchy 3. Also we can make a bigger push at this event and meet many of you who have helped out along the way. I may even do a talk with whoever I can get from the cast and crew.

Also we’re looking at doing a virtual talk for TARDIS Chicago 2010. We will Skype in for a bit of a Q&A and doing a bit of talking about the production. We’re still in talks about this but it would be something exciting and interesting for many of the fans to catch up with what Gareth has been doing post Torchwood.

Movement Magazine

We have a three page article in Movement Mag. I was hoping to get this post out last week, and wanted to combine it with the editing update, however as with all thing film, nothing ever goes to plan. So if you want more background an insight about the minds behind Casimir Effect. It’s a great article and I’m sure you will enjoy reading it, even if it’s a little late.
