And you got 2 honorable mentions!!! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif</span>

[Nathan Butler]

I finally got to see it. It took an ASF Recorder program and some serious digging for the direct file URL, but I FINALLY got to see it. Cool stuff. I hadn't realized that it was literally a silent movie format.

SILENT BUT DEADLY 2

Comedic Silent Film Sequel Currently In Production

April 2003 (FAD Productions) -- FAD Productions, created and run by filmmaker Jeff Cioletti, is proud to announce that the sequel to SILENT BUT DEADLY (http://www.fadproductions.com/sbd) tentatively titled SILENT BUT DEADLY 2: LINE RAGE is currently in production.

SILENT BUT DEADLY is a comedic silent film parody starring two STAR WARS Stormtroopers who serve their master, George Lucas. He sends them out on missions that need to be handled quickly and quietly. In the original, the troopers went out in search for the leaders of the internet fan-based STAR WARS sites who were leaking STAR WARS plot points. In the sequel, they're sent out once again to handle yet another troublesome fan meddling with Lucas' STAR WARS franchise.

SILENT BUT DEADLY was entered into the 2002 Official Star Wars Fan Film Awards (http://atomfilms.shockwave.com/af/content/silent_deadly) sponsored by Atom films and Lucasfilm where it received two honorary mentions for the SPIRIT OF FANDOM and FAN CHOICE awards. It was also featured on the Sci-Fi Channel's TV special hosted by Kevin Smith which featured many of the entries and all of the winners. Creators Jeff Cioletti and Lou Tambone hope to enter SILENT BUT DEADLY 2 into the 2003 Fan Film Awards.

SBD2 began production on Sunday, April 20th on a New Jersey beach. The final shoot will happen on Monday, May 12. If you live in the New York/New Jersey area and would like to be an extra, please contact Lou Tambone via e-mail. For more information on the SILENT BUT DEADLY films, visit the FAD Productions website (http://www.fadproductions.com).

Cool T.

Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Seanakin]

Looks like somebody has the PR angle of this thing nailed down. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

[T-bone]

Wait til the line of SBD toys comes out.

[Seanakin]

Perhaps a deal with Taco Bell might also be appropriate. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hehe.gif

sounds cool! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif

[Seanakin]

Maybe, Clara, but the point is, they gotta serve burritos and other stuff with refried beans, get it? style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hehe.gif

Somehow, in pursuit of an only marginally funny joke, I fear I've wound up resembling someone like, say, Tovor pushing a marginally funny joke. Interesting. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif

That might work for the Deadly part, but Silent? I don't think so.

[kopernikuz]

Very cool, T...

hey speaking of the Star Wars fan film awards as discussed on that page you linked... Did anyone find the George Lucas pick not remotely as cool as some of the other ones? The Christmas song about Plastic Taun Tauns?

[T-bone]

I think I know why he picked that one - he likes technology and stuff. While I thought the film was cute the first time, it got a little annoying after that. However, I won't knock it. I'm sure the lip-syncing and stuff like that was a real ***** to do. It was well done and definitely deserved an award.

[RedMirax]

I wish I were going to be in Jersey May 12th!! That would be too cool!!! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

[T-bone]

I'd have to schedule a big love scene with you.

Editing commences tomorrow.
Anyone wanna come over?
style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

[T-bone]

It's 1am. Jeff and I had a colossal day/night of editing and SBD2 is about halfway done as far as scene assembly. No sound or title cards but it's starting to look like a movie.

More to come...

[T-bone]

8PM and a really solid cut of the film is done.
Tomorrow will be title cards and tightening.
Then credits and stuff.
If anyone cares...

[T-bone]

New stills.

[JediKeri.]

Ooooooo...good.

[kopernikuz]

NOOOOO.... I saw the troppers with helmets off!! The mystery is over... talk about spoilers! I thought they were faceless automatons... now you've given them a face and a life... it will never be the same.... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif

[T-bone]

I actually did think about that...but then said ah screw it.
The boys worked hard and deserved to have their faces shown.
Why not.

Anyhow, this one's turning out pretty well. It's easier to laugh at it when it's all edited together but you get numb to it after so many viewings.

Lawdy! It's me with boobies!
I'd never leave the house...

[RedMirax]

Way cool, T!!!! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

[T-bone]

Title cards be done...next is credits and then music.
Should be done by end of week.
Can I get an Amen?

[Blizzard]

Amen!

Damn that hallway looks familiar, doesn't it, RM? style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hehe.gif

Ah-MEN!!!!! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif

LOL, J!!!! We did sit in plenty of hallways!!! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

[Blizzard]

And we were always surrounded by stormtroopers, too.

[JediKeri.]

LoL

[kopernikuz]

A local campus computer lab is also getting big crowds waiting to get in to access SBD2...

[kopernikuz]

And like many large crowds... there was some violence... witness here a loudmouth guy from TF.N trying to take on riot police with a plastic lightsaber... Run Fanboy! Run!!!!

I wish there were a comic shop like that in Las Vegas, that place looks pretty cool...

[T-bone]

It's called Plastic Dreams and yes it's quite impressive inside. You could drop a G easily in there. I just avoided looking around as much as possible.

http://www.plasticdreams.com

[JediKeri.]

Must be expensive...

[T-bone]

Nah- he's got good prices. Plus he let us shoot there for free style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

Actually, we put him in the film as the "Toy Store Owner" and you'll see him prominently when the film is up on Atom in a few weeks.

[JediKeri.]

I'll bet he had fun.

[T-bone]

Look for the film at Atom on June 17th sometime.

We're goin up a little earlier for some reason.
Working on some last minute brightness issues this week though - some stuff came out a little darker than we wanted. Hopefully it'll get cleared up.

[Darth Vegas]

That's great, I'll make sure to catch that! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

[T-bone]

http://atomfilms.shockwave.com/af/content/.../silent_deadly2 (http://atomfilms.shockwave.com/af/content/silent_deadly2)

watch using Windows - looks better.
we're sending in a corrected one with the dark spots brightened up.

and I'm pinning this because it's my film and I own the boards style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

[RedMirax]

T!!! That was GREAT!!!! I laughed and laughed. Another good job!!! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

I can't get it to stream, but that's my computer... It's still hilarious as stills.

God, I love AJ!

They have it on Hyperspace with three other finalists. Good Luck T!

[T-bone]

Thanks!
I'll make sure you can see it...i need to get a copy from Jeff.

[James T. Skywalker]

Pretty funny stuff, T'bone. I watched it over at AtomFilms with the rest of the nominees for the SW Fan Film awards. I must say that I'm still waiting for the rest of the fan film community at large to be acknowledged in some way (like that'll ever happen) but it's good to see that some people are being recognized for their work.

Though I'd love to know what GL though of The Formula by the DLR guys. If that's not a parody, I don't know what it is! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

[JediKeri.]

Downloading now...and to think I found out about this over on the Star Wars.com boards...style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

EDIT: Grrrrrrr it quit on me...I'll have to get it later...but I'm already laughing at what I saw style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif

[Seanakin]

Bravo, Oberkanzler! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif

[T-bone]

Well, we sent in a brightened version of SBD2 but the guy who did it for us screwed up a title card (we think). One of the early ones repeats itself. ARGH. Always a frickin problem at the last minute with us. Anyhow, we'll get this all fixed up ASAP. Please be nice in the reviews until we do style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

[JediKeri.]

Lol, I love the dog...

[T-bone]

I wanted him to pee on his head, but you know, AJ works for free and we couldn't pay him enough. Plus we can't make CG pee pee.
It's not in the budget. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif

Nice T'Bone and Jeff. Congrats! You must be proud.

SB2 was hillarious but I gotta check the first one yet. Found the host link finally so should be looking at it in the next couple of days.

[Tovor]

Well, I finally got to watch this often mentioned flick, and I thought it was great. I wrote a review too but I don't know if it has appeared on the review list yet. But I though this was freakin' funny, yo! Like the candy Good n Plenty, this flick was Good n Funny! Great job Bone! I loved it! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif

T, congratulations! I may not have been so kind initially, but I am truly happy for you and proud of your efforts! You have done, twice now, what a lot of people could hope to do just once in their lives....and that is to express their undying love for Star Wars for all to see and enjoy! If anybody has the fandom spirit in their heart it's you! Congratulations!

[Tovor]

Hear! Hear! Well put, Golla.

[Tovor]

Now this sucks...I wrote a rave review for this film, and it hasn't shown up on the review list. They seem to be taking a way too long time to post it, being that I wrote it one or two days ago.

[T-bone]

Dont' forget you can still do reviews and vote at IMDB.com as well. Just for fun.

See www.fadproductions.com/sbd for the info.

[Trey2-D2]

Okay, finally back from San Diego and can post again! And so I can finally send my (delayed) congrats on SBD2's win. Way to go!

It's a bummer Tbone couldn't be there in person. But Jeff and I ended up sitting next to one another - he introduced himself, and I assume I said something semi-coherent in return... not sure, as I was a bit dazed at that point. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif

So when does SBD3 go into production? style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif

[T-bone]

Thank you Trey - you're being too nice to me for someone affiliated with TFN so I'm in a little shock - style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hehe.gif

Anyhow - yea we have a shoot scheduled for Sept. 20th. Anyone in the NJ area is welcome to be an extra.

I wanted to go to SDCC but I'm too broke. If I had known for sure we were going to win something, I might have considered it just to get up on stage with Jeff to "represent" so to speak but you know the deal... wife, kid, house/mortgage...

Umm, okay... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif

I'm vaguely aware there are anti-TFN factions in existence, but I confess complete ignorance as to what the beef is about. TFN hosted my film, and that was nice of them... does that make me an "affiliate"? If so, I'm disappointed - I haven't been invited to any secret evil TFN meetings or anything... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blush.gif

You're shooting the next chapter in September? Wow, you guys move fast!

Last chapter, yea.
The usual plan with this is Jeff contacts me about 2 months before the freakin deadline and says - let's make a movie! Then we rush, argue, fight, kill, mame, dismember, and somehow end up with a movie.

This time, we're going to start a wee bit earlier and try to keep the hospital visits to a minimum.

Makes for a better film...sometimes.

style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif

[Mann]

T'Bone, do you plan to make this one the longest SBD of the series?

Genius? LOL...
Thanks but I think you need some glasses.

Will it be longer? Hmmm...that's hard to say really until it's all shot and cut together. We didn't want part 2 to be longer than part 1 but it ended up being a little longer.

We have the story all fleshed out and we know what's going to happen but we don't have a script yet. Jeff's moving this week so it might have to wait til next week. These films are a little easier to script because there's no dialogue so it won't take too long, especially since we have the story arc and all that.

At first look, I'd say it might end up being the longest one but we really can't say. It's definitely got a darker ending although I think that this film will be a nice blend of the first and second.

After Jeff is moved and we do a real script I'll be able to determine a few more things. We have a lot of work to do for this Sept 20th shoot so we're concentrating more on that right now than anything. It's a huge scene with lots going on. In fact, we have some choreographing to do - fights and stuff. Scale-wise, I think it's the biggest of the three with the most going on - especially in this finale sequence.

Let's hope it all comes together...

[jcioletti]

We'll have the script done in about another week. As for the length, as Tbone said, it's hard to tell at this point. It's very complex and involved, but it's also very quick. The gags will also be fast and furious (but not 2 Fast 2 Furious style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif ). Nothing's going to drag, so I would say if it ends up being longer than SBD2, it would be by no more than 30-60 seconds.

BTW, Trey, it was nice meeting you and Amy Thursday night. Congrats again!
Jeff

[Blizzard]

Cool! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bigsmile.gif

[Seanakin]

So it begins, then.

Looking forward to the results. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif

[Mann]

Are you guys having a casting call? style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif

[T-bone]

Not an official one. We already have the cast in place. We just need extras for the big shoot on Sept. 20. Anyone is welcome to come as long as you can be there on time on that day.

If anyone can make it to West Paterson, NJ that day and wants to be an extra, let me know.

[Swamprat_Jedi_Knight]

Congrats.

I was wondering if there is anyplace I could download SBD2, that wasn't stream. So I can download it with GetRight, so I could have it on my PC for future viewings. Is there anywhere?

[JediKeri.]

Cool, an SBD3! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif

[T-bone]

I don't know if anyone here is interested but I posted a few storyboards from the film here:

http://www.fadproductions.com/sbd/sbd2_storyboards.htm

I'll be posting some little stories/quotes from the cast when they send them in as well. Look for those soon.

News on SBD3 is coming too...

My cousin lives in NJ. Maybe he would like to be in on it. I'll ask him.

[Trilogist]

Yet another trilogy. Nice!

This makes Trilo happy. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

Guess it's time for an SBD3 thread...

stand by.

[T-bone]

Silent Bud Deadly 3 is in preproduction and we have a shoot planned for September 20th in NJ.

www.fadproductions.com/sbd

[JediKeri.]

Cool

Now if only a plane ticket and money for a hotel would magically apear....

[T-bone]

Announcing SILENT BUT DEADLY 3. The film is currently in the pre-production phase and we're preparing for our first shoot on September 20, 2003.

Casting Call: The first shoot will take place in Northern New Jersey. We are currently seeking extras for a outdoor (small) crowd scene. What we need are people who have stormtrooper costumes (any variation is fine) or people who have some kind of Star Wars costume/mask that covers their features, like a cantina alien or something to that effect. Even if you don't have a mask or costume and would like to wear one that we will supply you with, we can still use you. If you live in or are going to be in the Northern NJ area on September 20th and want to be in the film or help out somehow, just let us know.

Here are some details on the shoot:
There's an 8am call to be on set for a 9am shoot on September 20th. If you meet the above criteria and would like to be an extra in the film - and can make it on time - please contact me right away to confirm and he will add you to the already growing list of confirmed extras. We hope to see you there.

Look for SBD3 some time in 2004.

[RedMirax]

Oh, WOW, T!!! Congrats!!! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

[Nathan Butler]

Anyone else at the Dragon*Con 2003 fan film panel this year? Jeff Cioletti was there talking about SBD 1-3 and Millennium's End.

[T-bone]

Things are looking great for this shoot on the 20th. We have a ton of extras coming, we'll be using about 15-20 masks, lots of stormtroopers and even a few other folks are coming as things like a Royal Guard and Scout Trooper. Lots of alien heads. It's gonna be huge and we're excited about it. Less than 2 weeks to go...

Just picture a big BBQ with stormtroopers and aliens...
is that a spoiler? nah................

[JediKeri.]

A BBQ??!

Someone break out the Curly's BBQ sauce! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif

We purchased a fake turtle today on ebay.
style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif

[RedMirax]

Have you named it?

[T-bone]

No but I'm sure we will since we have to put him in the credits. Actually we have an actual turtle in the film. This is the stunt turtle. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif

[Trilogist]

You mean the turtle doesn't do his own stunts? So much for it being the Harrison Ford of turtles!

Hey T- is anyone from the GS in this?

[T-bone]

No but I've invited anyone who would like to come to be in it. No GS people, but it's a long drive for a few hours and probably a few seconds of screentime.

[RedMirax]

A very long drive.... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

Or a long expensive flight for those that don't live on the east coast style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

[Trilogist]

Just curious, that's all. It would be interesting if anyone from the GS was in it. Kind of like an SBD3 easter egg, eh?

[Tovor]

As the big day approaches, I want to tell you best of favor and good fortune in your endeavor. I hope it all turns out as you planned and makes us laugh again. I can't wait to see the finished film! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/satisfied.gif

[T-bone]

Thanks all. Tomorrow is the first shoot and I'm stressin but getting there. Just went to the store and bought a ton of burgers, hotdogs and snacks, plus drinks for the people tomorrow. At 8am people are going to be here and it's going to be NUTS.

I'll hopefully have pics for you soon...

OFF to prepare more!

[T-bone]

My car would have to break down today...


ANYHOW, I'm going to try real hard to keep the T-CAM going all day tomorrow for the shoot even though we'll be outside most of the time. You should still see some funky stuff on there throughout the day. Try to have a look if you like!!! Save any cool pics and post them in here.

Thanks.

[bluemilk]

Oh I wish I was there to watch the filming!! nobody does anything interesting in my corner of the world. How cool would it be to hang out with star wars geeks that do interesting stuff *sigh* style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/satisfied.gif

I look forward to the pics so I can live vicariously.

[Tovor]

Hey T'bone, how'd it go? Inquiring fans are dying to know! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

[Blizzard]

It was like a Star Wars T'shirt convention....

[Blizzard]

That's not Pablo!

[Blizzard]

Neither is this, it's Eric.

[Tovor]

I've never seen Pablo nor know him, so you've got me convinced. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

[Blizzard]

David Blaine and Steven Segal?

[Blizzard]

Clint Howard?

[Blizzard]

Tovey, look at JamesT's avatar.... great pic of Pabs!

[Blizzard]

AJ was wearing his Celebration II shirt.

[Blizzard]

Is this a SW shirt, or a cheap imitation?

[Blizzard]

Who let the guy with the plain shirt in?

[Blizzard]

And this guy, but I wouldn't want to argue with him.

[Blizzard]

I missed all the good shots, but I got one of a half naked trooper...

[Blizzard]

And a nearly naked one... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/satisfied.gif

[Blizzard]

I think everyone and his brother sat at T's computer.

Here is the Amazing Jeff!

Yeah any juicy details, can you tell us any spoilers? Like what that Duro character is going to be eating. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

[T-bone]

Right now I'm physically and mentally exhasted. I'm amazed I can type this. I have what they call "prickly heat" all over my back, front AND face - it's disgusting. I think it was from being in a mask for a while and then just being hot and sweating. This damn shoot made me ill for cryin out loud.

As far as the cast/crew I don't have many complaints. We started out slow and we had around 90 shots to do, which is more than the whole first film - and this is just a piece of the movie, maybe about 3 minutes or so, hopefully. At lunchtime we only had about 20-30 shots in the can so we only had a few hours left and had to REALLY speed things up.

Eric showed up with all his masks and stuff and he did a good job making sure everything went smooth for me. The fight scenes, they tell me, looked pretty good but I haven't actually reviewed any of the footage. I did see some of the stuff my friend Doug shot on his camcorder for a little mockumentary he's going to do and there's some funny stuff in there.

Bottom line: the day was long and hard and it's not easy dealing with that many people on a set. However, we got all the shots we needed, I think, outside of a few we nixed because light was running out and they weren't needed due to some script changes. For the most part, everyone cooperated and things went fairly well. It's like a big long blur - we hardly stopped, just for lunch and only a few people actually stayed after for the party, but I don't blame them since they had long drives. Some people drove 2-3 hours to come down and that was really nice of them.

I'm rambling now but i'm just feeling weak...need rest...

It went well and I'll have pics up when I can on the site...and I'll be sure to put a few exclusive SBD3 pics here in this thread only. MANY people took pics this time. I think maybe tomorrow I'll look back on it and say - man that was fun. Today I'm just in recovery mode.

The hard shoot is over, the rest should be cake with the hardest part being how to get the people we need together back here on the same day! I don't envy Rick McCallum.

I think everyone will like this film, especially if you watch the other two first. Everyone's in it and there are a few cool images in there that I thought were really funny. More soon...

Any XXXXXXX this time round?

[Shall I smack you now or later? This isn't IM, Fredo.]

[T-bone]

Did you guys see any more stills or is this all you have?
The day was a blur for me so I'm actually quite curious to see a few style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

[Darth Vegas]

There were a couple really good ones, and I wasn't able to save them before the image updated. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif

[Blizzard]

That's all I saw after Bond told me to turn on the cam.

[JediKeri]

that's basically all I saw too...

[Tovor]

So Bone, when are you going to post pics from the shoot? And, when will SBD3 be ready for the grand premier?

[T-bone]

Originally posted by Tovor@Sep 25 2003, 05:02 PM

Pics as early as this coming week, perhaps...

The film won't be ready until next year simply because we have 2-3 more shoots plus editing and music to do. It's going to be a while and instead of rushing it like we did with the other two, we're actually taking our time.

I have to admit there was some rather funny stuff going on during the first shoot and I know there are a few "images" that are pretty funny, in my opinion, that have little to do with the actual plot. They're just funny little things we did that weren't scripted and don't involve the actors.

Maybe I can get pics of that stuff for you guys soon - not sure. I have to see all the pics and decide what we're going to show. We actually have some major stuff happening so we can't reveal some things, believe it or not.

[Tovor]

Okay, that sounds great. Now I'm eager to see what fun you guys had during the project. I'm even in suspense to see the results. I don't know which I'm more eager to see, SWIII or SBD3. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/satisfied.gif

[T-bone]

http://www.fadproductions.com/sbd/

Nice group shot.
A few people were left out unfortunately but most of the core people and extras are there.

[JediKeri]

Cool pic...

[T-bone]

We have another shoot tomorrow. Jeff's coming over in about a half hour to help set up for it and to do some test shots with a dummy we're making.

In the meantime, I promised you guys here some exclusive pics. So here's one for now that you won't see on the SBD site or anything yet.

Once I get everyone's pictures (AJ's, Dion's, Craige's and whoever else has them) I'll start to post them on the site a few at a time like we did last time.

I'll let you know how tonight/tomorrow goes.

[Seanakin]

EGADS, Boss, is that velvet that you're draped in? style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif

[JediKeri]

Velvet is not a bad thing style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

[T-bone]

For those interested - the T'cam is on if you wanna watch the making of the "dummy."

http://www.starwarz.com/tcam

[Tovor]

I see that trooper in the kitchen apron and what I'm thinking is, "Can you smell what the Imp is cooking?"
T'bone, I can't make out the mask you're holding. Is it a SW alien mask, or something you designed yourself? Is that a spoiler, if you answer before the movie is done? And how do you aquire so many stormtrooper costumes? Are they rented, or are they collectibles owned by your friends?

[T-bone]

all will be revealed in time...

[T-bone]

Well what was originally going to be a short day of a few hours turned out to be yet another 8 hour shoot. All went pretty well and it consisted mostly of new stuff and a few pickups/reshoots of some of the BBQ stuff.

There's not much left to shoot now - maybe 2 more short days of shooting scenes here and there.

[Darth Vegas]

Originally posted by Tovor@Oct 4 2003, 06:22 PM

I dunno how they got em' but I'm thinking of ordering one from someone who makes the stormtrooper armor kit, you can get all the specs on that my sending an email title Stormtrooper armor here (frodounderhill@earthlink.net).

[goodwije]

That group shot reminds me of a SW Sopranos (not that is a bad thing) Looks like you guys are having fun... can't wait for the next installment.

[T-bone]

Fun and stressful yea.
This one is definitely going to be the biggest of the three, that I can tell you.

PS: We shot the turtle on the 5th as well and as for the stunt turtle we got on eBay? R.I.P.

Otis, the real turtle is fine and dandy however. He was a bit tempermental at first and didn't want to move but he improvised a little and gave us a nice shot we didn't have planned. Go Otis.

[goodwije]

I'd love to see a sneak peak picture of Otis, or maybe the remains of the stunt turtle!!

[JediKeri]

I take it the stunt turtle had an accident?

[T-bone]

We didn't take any pics of Otis that day. Don't get too excited, the real Otis doesn't do anything crazy.

And yes, the stunt turtle I call Sito had a fatal accident on the set. He won't be doing any more stunts, poor chap.

As soon as I can get a still of the turtle, I will but Jeff has all the footage. You guys should alert him to this thread and bother him to come here.

jcioletti@fadproductions.com

[T-bone]

Another shoot this thursday night.

[Bryan]

Cool. I loved SBD 1 and 2, T'bone. Do you have any plans to do dramatic fan films, as opposed to parodies? Or any future independent filmmaking endeavors?

[T-bone]

I don't particularly like the dramatic fan films. I won't do one unless it's something I think is really cool and even then it would probably have to be an adaptation of something that already exists. I don't want to do "original" star wars films. I'd rather direct something else - something original or real and no something like sci-fi or whatever.

I do love directing and editing, however. It's writing that I don't like. I can polish things very well. Give me a scene and I'll make it better. But I just don't like writing that much. I won't sit down and write a screenplay. I just don't have the patience. I will, however, read one and punch it up.

Maybe that'll change - who knows.

[T-bone]

At any rate, we have 3 more scenes in the can now, I'm glad to say.

Good news: No Jeff/Lou catfights. No major ones, anyhow.

[Blizzard]

Meow! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

[T-bone]

We still have yet to shoot what I think will be my favorite scene...

[T-bone]

Ok - updated the site with 3 new stills but you know I always gotta give the Senate an exclusive...

so first go here:
