Thanks guys... ;)


This was actually a surprise First Take on me on the Magazine, an interview was taken and the article will be featured on the next issue, I open up on it, so I hope you'll like what you read... And hope you'll love the Epic Frame grabs... ;)


PS: Andrew, in the next issue, you'll see Carly again... ;)
 
Hey Ketch. I read that you are not shooting your first feature in 3D 48fps. Why did you change plans? Was it for budget reasons? If I remember right you said 3D 48fps would be perfect for it so if it's about money you should raise more funding so you wouldn't have to sacrifice something that big from your film.

Do you know yet when you will start shooting?

Yes it was exactly do to funds, as I had lost the original agreed budget for it, and because I absolutely wanted to make the movie asa, for more then one reason, I decided to push forward alone, by selling as much personal gear as I needed to in order to make it happen, but it has not been enough, so back to square one...

Which this also means that I might as well go back to consider 3D 48fps again, but because I really do care about QUALITY, and care to show how 3D can and should be done even in DRAMA, I would not do it unless I have the means to do it as best as I can.

Hopefully this is the year that it will get made, and all I can add is that after shooting the Monochrome, I will also use it to shoot all the Violence scenes, no matter if I'll shoot it in 3D or not, and even if it is in 2D it will still be 48, then we decided at the end if remove every other frame to finish 24fps or just send it to Distribution in 48fps, either for certain it will be in full 4K glory.

Yes Will it has, same on Facebook and Twitter... ;)

Have been super busy as of this past months with lots going on, some positive some not so positive, but get ready for a shaking of this industry like you never seen before as I have at last made a very important and critical decision to put all else aside and dedicate my all self to the making of my film, I don't care how hard it will be starting with no backing, but this is what I want and will go for it, proving to everyone that some times, P A S S I O N its all one really needs to make a difference and do anything in life, even if success might not come, at list it well prove that it can be done, and I will do it.


So I hope that everyone has enjoy this "silent times" because there is a very B I G storm coming, I hope you'll all enjoy this ride with me, because there is no stopping me now... ;)
 
I look forward to seeing your movie, keep up the good work.

maybe you can set-up a investor account having us as RED investors here or on your site, and we all invest/donate/sponsor your movie. Did you ever think of that? Like a RED Kickstarter program.

My two cents...

Thanks for the suggestion and willingness of your support Caden, so very much appreciated, but in all honesty I am not sure how I would even be able to start going about it, as far as legal and all, and even if some one here could help set this up, how could I ever afford myself the arrogance to think that just because I have been here since the beginning and have offered some advise and some help around here, I would deserve such a privilege of having some of you here on this community financially baking me up?!?


I am however now more then ever in my life fully committed to this road I have taken since I was 17 years of age, so for me really is NOW or NEVER... So after having poured my hearth and soul in to this Script, I am now preparing all that needs to go with it in order for me to be able to Produce this Film, and I'll use all that I have at my disposal and look for what I don't so to find it in any given way possible, pushing myself to the very limit of what can be Humanly possible for a man in my conditions, but this story needs to be told, so no matter how, I will tell it!!
 
Not a bad idea.

The problem with Kickstarter is there is no PHONE SUPPORT. Many of my producer friends have abandoned this method simply because you cannot get anyone on the phone. Support is so undervalued and so critical when you need it.

Yes I agree on that part, and I have been tossing in my mind what plan could better work for my specific needs, and for sure I'll start a Kickstarter campaign, at list to get a certain number of pre-sales of the Film to show interest to the Studios for the sake of the Acquisition Officers in the line of Distribution rights, even with the small pledge of support for thee Film, must the most important numbers will be those that show how many would actually support it with an amount that will ensure them a Copy of the Film either Digitally via a source such as ODEMAX or via Blu-Ray/DVD, as this will ultimately give proof of interest.


Then setting up some kind of Community/Group Investment system for those that wish to participate beyond Kickstarter with larger amounts and or simply wish to get actually directly involved with the project with interest in its actual financial outcome for the share of its profits.

However, because of so many variables, one can't absolutely in the right mind, even some one as confident as I, try to set something up to attract investors giving high hopes of large returns, as it can be as likely as it can be as unlikely to happen, no one knows, especially for the start were we still have no "NAME" attached to the story, or Studio backing.


That is why I would fill much more comfortable with a pre-sale of the actual Film, as that is something I know I can deliver.
 
For good practice and to keep a record... ;)

I shared an article with some Love to RED.

Productive indeed Roberto!

Yea the F1 job was very cool, especially because was for a special thing, and I was in the great company of our very own RED Star Sean Ruggeri, shooting a Red Ferrari with a Red camera, what more could I ask? A F1 Star driver? Done!
