Hey there, thought I'd give a quick status report on where things stand right now.
-- Work is still being done on the long anticipated --and long-delayed-- teaser trailer. My friend David is still working on the effects part of the trailer, which is requiring a program he's testing out from what he tells me. So until he gets that worked out, again the teaser's on standby. I'd like to say I should have it ready to premiere sometime in May, but you never know with these things.
--I'm still working on the scripts, hopefully I'll have them all done in May. I'm still debating whether this will be a four-or-five part series. When I have everything written out and converted into a script, I should be able to know. I do want every episode to end with a cliff-hanger or a shocking moment, so we'll see.
--An official logo for the series should be revealed shortly. My newest online friend Bobby has agreed to help craft up a logo based on my ideas and once I see the finished product, I'll post it here.
--And lastly, we're still deliberating on the actual shooting dates, but it's looking more like the last week of July/first week of August will be the safe bet to shoot all of the first episode and perhaps some parts of the other episodes as well. I figure we'll meet up next summer to complete the other episodes of the series.
That's it for now. I'll have another update when there's more news to report.

Status Update: Teaser Trailer Footage is Done!!!
Here's the latest news on the MOTW project:
--On Monday (April 3), I was finally able to get the last bit of footage needed for the teaser trailer. My friend Adam, who's playing the lead role, was able to complete the pick-up shots for the trailer and after a long downloading process, I was able to get the last bit of footage.
What's next? Well even though I have all the footage, it still needs some special effects work and some music and editing. I've sent the raw footage off to my friend David to put the effects work together. And once he's done with that, then I'll be able to edit the teaser.
I also believe I found what could be some perfect music to use for the teaser. I still have to test it out first after I get everything together, but if it works out, I think it'll work. There's also a chance that the person behind this music could be the one who'll be doing the music for the short films as well. I'll keep you posted whether this is a done deal or not.
--May have found another person to help out. Not just with this mini-series, but the other possible projects that I may be doing over the summer. I won't say any more until I hear from him and see if it works with his schedule. But he definitely sounds interested.
--Still hammering out the script, which I hope to have done by the end of the month.
--We may have a time frame to start shooting. I'm looking at a 3-to-4 day window in the last week of July/early part of August to begin. It'll still be a one or two day shoot (for at least the first episode, but possibly some of the second), but with this window, we'll be able to accomendate any possible pick up shots or make up for bad footage. Plus, those days will also help with any future M1F projects. I'll let you know if and when those dates are confirmed.
-- What's a film (or a film series, in this case) without a logo? Or a slick poster for that matter?
Well, I'm not an artist, but after doing some doodling on a sheet of paper, I think I've come up with a cool looking logo for the movie. I've shown it to a couple of friends and they both agree that it's quite good. I won't show it to you guys just yet, but when I get it looking perfect, you'll see it right here.
As for the poster, well I've talked with someone online, who's done some poster work for a fan film I've seen recently, and he's definitely up for it. Stay tuned.
--And lastly, some possible news on the werewolf suit, the all important piece to the series. I got an email from my friend Brandon, who'll be doing the suit and the effects for the movie, and he tells me that he has some ideas and even some designs done. From what he tells me, he'll love to work on it, but it depends on time and cost. So we'll see what happens. (BTW, he's been dealing with a recent back injury, so get better soon bud!)
And that's it. A lot of news there. Again things are moving along quite well. I'll have another update later on this month.
