I’m very excited to present the first test from “Outside In” that actually represents real footage in progress from the film. Camera moves are still being tweaked and this is cropped version as IMAX-sized stuff does not play well online. But thanks to the new version of Adobe After Effects, “Outside In” can made [...]
I realize it’s a little quiet here, but things are very busy here in the basement. The big push for full fundraising is underway and like all fundraising in tough times – there is bad news but good news on the horizon.
The quiet is because I’m in the middle of the final weeks [...]
It’s November 11th – the 11th day of the 11 month. As you may realize, I’ve set a target completion date of 11.11.11 for the film and announced a “Team 11″ funding effort to help meet this goal. I hoped to have a new site and teaser up today, but alas I got quite [...]
There are only a few major film funds out there for independent filmmakers in the US. Unfortunately, as of today, “Outside In” is eligible for none of them – that’s right, zero. It’s crazy – they all say they are looking for “cutting edge, visionary, independent work that is outside the box, etc. blah [...]
There is only one community that I keep running into issues with in my efforts to bring “Outside In” to the screen. Ironically, it’s the community that stands to benefit most directly from “Outside In” being a success. It’s academic/scientific community around space and space imaging. It’s the complete opposite of what I thought [...]
It’s been a year of big news, but for me, this is the best yet. The good and smart people Fotokem have come on-board to output a couple of minutes of “Outside In” to IMAX 15/70 film to screen at the Giant Screen Cinema Assoc. Conference in September.
It’s been my dream for years [...]
It’s official, “Outside In” is on the docket for the 2008 Giant Screen Cinema Association Conference which will be held in Jersey City & NYC in early September. I’m very excited (and a little nervous) about the event – seeing “Outside In” listed with all the films is big deal considering where the film [...]
People often make a number of assumptions about the computer technology being used to create “Outside In”. I hear everything from “you must have a supercomputer, you must be using Macs, you must be using special software” etc. So I thought I would dispel some assumptions and give you a quick inside view of [...]
For those of you who have not heard yet, “Outside In” has received the first large donation to the film. Several months ago, when I changed the film to not-for-profit venture after turning down the offers from investors, I hoped this would be the best move for the film and now things are now [...]
I will be attending a seminar on charitable giving strategies at AG Edwards thanks to a friend of my, Kimberly Lutes. I’m hoping to glean some information on how to obtain donations for the film. If you know anyone interested as a seeker of donations or in making donations, here’s the full text from [...]
