Suit’s You

Well it’s been another hectic week in the Casimir Effect production hole, and this week is shaping up to be nonstop. I have insurance to get sorted, eBay auctions and locations and crew to start finalising.

Cromwell Jackson suit has arrived, the much awaited Valentino Milan suit, all I can say it it’s very nice all of the costume department were there to open it and see. It was like a birthday. All I can say is Cromwell Jackson will look damn good, and hopefully in the next week or so we will have some pictures of Neil in costume.

The meeting with the Cinematographer went well we got through most of the script and rough out some shots and scenes. Visited some of the locations again and got some more shots of Mir Steel and the Coal Exchange.

More pictures in the galleries…

It’s all coming together now, we have our schedule it’s still a work in progress but we have a week to get everything firmed up more before I let it loose for the crew to tear to bits. Most of it is location dependant, followed by makeup needs. Because we don’t have a massive budget we need to priorities the schedule to low cost and minimise lighting setups, so we may have to suffer some grumpy crew one day to shave an hour off filming, I’m sure they won’t mind as they can get to bed earlier (I’ll provide good ketchup for them).

The Senedd in Cardiff might be Cromwell Jackson office, if we can arrange it for the day we need. However as it is a public place we will need to ensure people are safe and we don’t cause a hindrance.

The Save Ianto Jones community has raised £435 in the Valentines campaign, we would like to thank them for their help and anyone who has donated. This money will help greatly in reaching our goals. It looking like we will hit our budget, however it would be fantastic if we went over it as this would make our lives a bit easier during filming.

Interviews

We have two interviews we are working on at the moment, these should be out soon and I will let everyone know which magazines and journals we are in. It’s good to see that there is some international and industry based interest in what we are doing and as We always say were open for any interviews or questions.

After Filming

It’s been pretty much decided we have 2 months post filming to sell off all the props, costumes and set dressing we can, these will come with a certificate of authenticity. This should cover expenses and any outstanding invoices, and start out marketing and festivals fund. So get ready for April and pick up a costume, prop or set piece.

Any wish list items bought for the film will be posted back to the buyer with a certificate of authenticity, unless the buyer wants us to auction off the items for the festivals fund. So if there is anything on the wishlist you want and don’t mind us using it a great chance to support the film.

Our Amazon Wishlist, for anyone who wants to get us some props or other things. However it seems to not work for market place items, so if there is something and it won’t ship to Casimir Productions. Feel free to paypal us the money with instruction of what you want to buy for Casimir Effect.

Masterclasses and Storage

It’s been a busy day, not to stressful. Mostly going back and forth getting things arranged and moved. Most of today was taken up with arranging and signing for a storage area. Now we have one it’s all coming together. It’s going to cost us £90 a month compared to some places wanting to charge over £800 a month. At least when the wish list stuff starts to arrive we have somewhere to store it.

I got exited today I thought another major costume had arrived, but when I picked it up it was the acceptance letters from Algonquin College in Ottawa. Well at least we have our Screenwriting post-grad places secured, we may have to defer entrance for a year.

Our costume department is just about solidified now, and our art department is growing we have about 20 student from the Atrium, who are willing to do anything to help out. And we have a few professionals that want to come on board to help out where they can.

We have been offer a slot to talk about the film in a Masterclass about using old buildings and new ways of film funding. This will be held a week after filming in Cardiff’s Coal Exchange (our main location), they want us to keep some of our sets up so they can look around them. The main gist of the Masterclass, is the re-purposing of old and derelict buildings, and how we have used crowd funding and the way in which everyone has come together to help make Casimir Effect.

We have done a stock take so hopefully by the end of today we will have everything up on the site this means we will have a lot stuff we can get out to people fast.

Also we have pretty much decided that in the next few weeks each department will have an account on the site so they can update and post out what they are up to. Also they will be able to tweet stuff for you to. As were hoping you will keep following closely as we build up to filming and keep track of each days set reports.

Wishlist

We have also created an Amazon Wishlist, for anyone who wants to get us some props or other things. However it seems to not work for market place items, so if there is something and it won’t ship to Casimir Productions. Feel free to paypal us the money with instruction of what you want to buy for Casimir Effect.

Anything bought direct for the film will be offered to whoever has purchased it for us, once we have done with it, or auctioned on request. We will create certificates of authenticity for each item.
