This may be the most BAD ASS trailer I’ve seen this year. No other movie has attracted my attention like this in a while.
Enter your birth date and drool over the trailer to LEGION, an apocalyptic horror tale along the same genre as Digital Spectrum Films own ABADDON.
This film is directed by a first [...]
One of my favorite movies from the Eighties is HIGHLANDER. Christopher Lambert created a character with confidence and daring that very much influences the way Nickolai Bybel is written in ABADDON I’ve decided to revisit the formula laid out by screenwriter, Gregory Widen, and apply a similar approach for the current rewrite.
The earlier draft [...]
One of the most complicated scenes to plan is onscreen combat. As we trudge along on the ABADDON rewrite, more and more of these scenes are cropping up in the screenplay.
As the director of the film, it’s up to me to learn the choreography of a struggle and how to make it look real.
The [...]
A few weekends ago, Derek Mullins and I reworked the opening sequence of the script. We were still hindered by shitty sets and a limited time frame, but this time we redesigned the lighting and the music tracks and ended up with this.
There are several sound effects missing. A couple of shots were [...]
I’ve noticed after viewing an incredible number of independent short films that the titles can sometimes bring a perfectly decent production down to amateurish levels.
I might have been hasty enough to bring ABADDON down to that level by posting some of the test video clips online before producing the titles I wanted to use in [...]
As a week has passed since we shot the first minute of ABADDON, I’ve come to the conclusion that I rushed it a bit. The lighting was NOT what I wanted it to be and the lack of a dolly and crane made the final product seem flat at best.
The blood was too bright, there [...]
Yes, boys and girls, I’ve been a bad webmaster. It’s been a week or more since I last posted any updates about any genre projects, including anything about my own Hero/Horror film, ABADDON.
Well, the reason I’ve been a bit lax in the posting is because I’ve been a busy little filmmaker, trying [...]
I just stumbled across this excellent video today. The song also rocks.
I could write a lot more, but I’m starting the ramp up to the first day of ABADDON shooting.
I’ll fill you in more on the premiere day of production soon!
Mitch Massie and his Evansville, Indiana crew are at it again. The teaser trailer to his new film, The Hymnographer is a bad ass visual work that is really REALLY making me motivated to get off my ass and start shooting ABADDON !
There are some seriously fucked up images in this interesting teaser. The music [...]
The final Film Fellas with this cast discuss whether owning gear is the way to go, and if it is kosher to call an HD production a “Film.”
Very interesting stuff. Check it out.
