YEP.

SERIOUSLY.

EPISODE ZERO:
OUR FIRST VIDEO OUT WILL BE GROUND ZERO AND BUILDING THE PROPS STUDIO. AND EVEN ONE NOSE VERITECH. ALSO THE INSIDE OF THE BRIDGE. AND A HUGE SCREEN TO SHOW THE FRONT BRIDGE. AND PROPS FOR LANG AND MATRIX ROOM.

EVERYTHING ELSE WILL BE CG.

EPISODE I
WORKING ON THE SCREENPLAY NOW.


WE BEEN PLANING SINCE LAST YEAR AND NOW ABOUT TO BRING IT IN THE OPEN AT OUR FIRST MEETING. SOME FANS KNEW ABOUT IT. FROM WAY BACK. FEBRUARY WE HOPE TO FINISH CONSTRUCTION BUT GIVE TILL MARCH. THEN MAYBE 1 MONTH RECORDING FOR A 10 MINUTE SHOW. AND ANOTHER FOR EDITING.


DON'T EXPECT THIS HUGE STUDIO LIKE THE LIKES OF HOLLYWOOD LOTS BUT HOPE THE SHOWS MAKE UP FOR SPACE.

A word of advice memo, from someone who tried, oh so many years ago.

First I suggest you make the script first, have everyone interested take part in the creative process, keeping the script down to ten pages which should be equivalent to ten minutes of dialogue. Make sure everyone involved is happy with the script.

Secondly, plan a schedule for development time to plan and write the script, acquire materials both for building sets, props and making costumes, acquiring actors and practise some video editing and compositing with tools like Adobe Premiere, After Effects and so on.

Third, set a date for completion and debuting the film. I'd start with some short films to work on for practise and learning the trade like us canucks did with some of Star Trek and Star Wars spoofs we worked on at Testicles.ca before we started working on our full length film project like Thong man and Yellow Schwarz. Giving time with some practise on such short films for practise and experience, you can then work on the larger project film and AX2010 might be a good idea to debut the more professional and polished film in time for the tribute of the Robotech 25th anniversary. With enough practise from all the short films you've worked on and working out all the kinks while at the same time learning all the skills necessary before attempting the much larger film project.

Forth, be cheap in making the film.

Get items during garbage collection days and seek out wood, electronics, old computers or plastic bits that would look right for a door or bridge set.

Use the dollar store to acquire makeup kits, blue/green table cloths for chromakeying (Green screen) You'll be surprised what you can find at a dollar store or Goodwill to support your film making.

OK. WAS AT RIVERSIDE YESTERDAY AND LOOKING AT THE PROPERTY. AND NOW LOOKING INTO HOW TO BUILD OUR FIRST STUDIO. SINCE MUCH OF OUR WORK WILL BE INSIDE AN ENCLOSED AREA FOR FILMING. THIS WILL SAVE US MONEY IN THE LONG RUN TO BUILD OUR PROPS. WE WILL CONCENTRATE WITH THE BRIDGE FIRST AND MATRIX ROOM AND ONE F-14 NOSE. WE ACROSS MARCH AIRFORCE BASE THAT OPEN A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY'S AND AS WELL AS THE AIRPLANE MUSEUM AND AIRPLANE JUNKYARD (LIKE TRANSFORMERS 2).

WILL PUT UP PICTURES WHEN I CAN FROM THE PROPERTY.

Hi Guys. i am Nenad of the UEG productions Team.( www.united-earth-group.com )

Great Idea. We can give you a hand with the Production, VFX and post. The best word of advice is... Dont make any Sets CGI cant handle. Green Screen is your best friend..






Build only the sets the actors have a direct interaction with.. Everything else can be done in a computer.

Hi Guys. i am Nenad of the UEG productions Team.( www.united-earth-group.com )


HEY THERE. YOU GUYS PUTTING OUT SOMETHING VERY COOL AND TO LET YOU KNOW, WAITING HERE TO SEE IT COME TO LIGHT.

NICE PIC AS WELL. JUST THAT OUR PROBLEM IS WE DON'T HAVE A ROOF YET TO DO OUR PROP WORKS AND SETS. WE LOOKING AT COST AND SAVING MONEY IN THE LONG RUN. AND USE THE SPACE TO MAKE MONEY AS WELL SINCE THERE WILL BE A COST TO BUILDING THE STAGE.

AND YES NENAD, WE WILL KEEP IT SIMPLE AND SHORT TO THE THREE SETS TILL WE GET OUR GROVE ON THINGS. THEN WE HOPE TO EXPAND OUTSIDE OF "THE BOX" OR THE PLACE WHERE WE WILL BE DOING FILMING.

Thank you. We are giving our best. After 6 long years on the project, we are finaly nearing completion. There will be quite a few suprises from us in the next few weeks.

At its 25th aniversery Robotech deserves a united fandom. We are offering any type of CGI related assistence you guys may need.
I am confident we can pull of quite significant results.

. Regarding the sets. Your best way of saving money is using "virtual sets" to the maximum extent. It is amazing what kind of things CGI can create these days.

As for the pic.Thank you . One o our new walpapers. Courtesy of UEG.






Looking forward to us working together.

WILL BE WORKING ON SCRIPT AND STORYBOARDS THIS WEEK.

ALSO, ONCE THAT IS DONE WILL PASS INFO OUT SO OTHER THINGS CAN BE WORKED ON.

THANKS TO THE UEG GROUP FOR COMING ABOARD. YOUR GUYS HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED. WE MIGHT TAKE TIME WORKING ON THE SETS BUT WITH THE STORY BOARDS I HOPE YOUR TEAM CAN GET AN IDEA WHAT WE MIGHT NEED AND SINCE IT WILL BE USED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE FIRST FEW EPISODES, IT WILL GIVE YOU PLENTY OF TIME TO WORK ON IT WHILE WE WORK ON THE BUILDING, PROPS, AND SETS.


AGAIN, THANKS AGAIN FOR JOINING.

WILL SEND YOU PM AND HOW WE CAN CONTACT EACH OTHER SOON.
