Fratello del Mago - Positronic Films - FINISHED
We here at Positronic Films have completed a fantastic little western that will do for LGSFP 2009 what "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" did for a little film festival in Utah.
This has been a heck of a wild ride. I have been writing screenplays for over seven years, and have made a couple of little shorts. However this was the first time that I ever had to plan and execute. Wow! We planned in advance and had a finished script, storyboard and production schedule a week in advance. We were fortunate to get Nathan Smutz for our secondary actor and helper and he was invaluable to our team.
We shot in over 20 locations around the valley. We ended up with 167 clips of footage, almost 20 GB of data, shot on a ten-year-old Sony Handycam. I have recieved a total of five hours of sleep in the last two nights, and that was a luxury I almost couldn't afford.
Well, I will add more about this later today. Fratello del Mago has just finished rendering and it's ready to be in transit for delivery.

Well, I guess it is now time to try another render. Our footage that exported to a HD quicktime file is 1.5GB and looks like it plays at about 12fps! Sweet.
Worst case, we can have everyone file into my home office and watch it - 4-5 people per group.
