Motion Graphics!

Had a great meeting with the new motion graphics designer for Owen's Hobby. We have a lot of great ideas that I'm very excited about. May have also acquired some other positions on the post crew as well, but we'll have to wait and see. 

The kickstarter's not going well so far, so if you can help spread the word, please do! I appreciate everything you guys have done so far to help the project, and we'll keep working to make it happen!

Mome Love!

Had a great meeting with the motion media students' club! For anybody who was at the meeting tonight and want's to see the rough cut, email me @ zachjburke@gmail.com. Thanks guys!

Bought the domain name owenshobbyfilm.com, but it's still pointing here for now. If you know any good website designers, point them our way!

Also, it's the second day of the kickstarter. We've gotten off of the ground, but we need some momentum. Help us out by spreading the word to people you know. Any donation help!

Kickstarter Launched!

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zacharyburke/owens-hobby-a-short-narrative-film

Our Kickstarter campaign is launched. I have to say thanks to James Scullion in particular who spent many hours with me on the video for this thing. And of course a thank you to Sarah Lou Plonski, Ben Dishun, and Jas Sams for their help as well as Jackson Morgan for letting us use his place.

Please tell everyone you know!

The search for a composer

Is ongoing, but for now I want to point out an extremely talented composer who we're talking to right now. His name is Kyle Newmaster. Here's his website:

He was recommended to me by another student filmmaker who I respect very highly: Colin Levy. And I think you'll find, if you look at his audio section, a stunning resemblance to the work of John Williams! That's probably why this impressive young artist is working on a couple LucasArts games.

Should we be lucky enough to get his time, his work won't come cheap, but I believe it would be worth every penny. So keep your eyes and ears open! We'll hopefully be launching a fundraiser soon!

First Blog

Working on an official website for the film. We'll be using blogspot as a temporary means of getting information out there as well as facebook. Also working on the edit of the kickstarter video which will be online with the campaign within a week.

All of us on the production team are SCAD students and are about to begin a new quarter. Graduation's just around the bend as well, so the work's going to be harder to squeeze in. However, this film is still on schedule to be completed by 2012. Wish us luck as it's not an easy journey and one that most films get lost in, never to return.
