We’re working on getting some more eye candy ready for you to see by the end of the month. Dare I suggest even on a weekly basis??

We also have another poster for CELL made by our still photographer Dale Kennemer.

CELL poster #2

I can’t even begin to list the amount of great stuff going on behind the scenes for CELL, partially because I can’t. But rest assured good things are in the works for CELL. Loren and Chris are working like mad to get rough cuts of the episodes done. They just got Episode 2 finished and I should have eyes on that soon.  Our sound mixer Debbie is working like mad to get sound set for the shoot and she’s also taken on sound design. I don’t think she’ll ever sleep.

The rest of the stuff about CELL I can’t really talk about yet. But as soon as I can I’ll make sure to let you all know.

And on an unrelated note, we’ve started the development process for more shows with the Lovable Varmint brand. Things are going so well that we’re going to keep pushing ahead and keep making new content to bring to you. Our goal is to push the boundaries of indie web productions so that we can compete with the big money out there. If you like what we’re doing, keep visiting and keep supporting us. With your help we can bring you more great content.

Thanks for everything you’ve been doing and keep an eye out for more video goodness.

Although that’s good, too. http://lovablevarmint.com/2009/08/30/the-value-of-an-ad/ http://lovablevarmint.com/2009/08/30/the-value-of-an-ad/#comments Sun, 30 Aug 2009 23:36:11 +0000 Mark http://www.lovablevarmint.com/?p=86 For those of you who might not know, an AD is an Assistant Director. So as I sit here, writing dozens of e-mails, I realize the importance of a good AD. Because really, I need to be working on other things.  There aren’t enough thanks that I can send out to Brian Morgan, our Production Coordinator. He’s interviewing crew and filling all our positions. If it wasn’t for him, I’d be doing that as well. I’m looking so forward to confirming our new AD, which should hopefully happen soon.

By the way, if you didn’t know it, sound is one of THE most important parts of filming. A lot of new filmmakers out there might ignore sound and just assume it will all work out. Take it from me and take it from experience…. IGNORE SOUND AT YOUR OWN RISK! A film can look spectacular visually but if you can’t understand a word the characters are saying then it’s not much of a film after all.

We’re extremely fortunate to have Debbie Balbo on board our crew as our Sound Mixer.  She’s meticulous in her work with sound and she’s going to bring some great things to the table for “Cell.” I can’t wait to sit down with her soon and talk about a sound map for our production.
