FOUND: Shooting days a success!

September 12, 2011 · by hdonnell

We’re bursting with excitement over the amazing footage we got on Saturday and Sunday with our cast and crew! At the beach, we got just the kind of weather we wanted: foggy, mysterious, windswept. We were also stunned by pods of leaping dolphins close to the shoreline. Downtown at the parking garage, we were less thrilled with the ongoing workers’ protest less than a block away. We eventually got the necessary dialogue recorded during a bout of silence, and many kudos to the AWESOME cast and crew who kept up their good spirits despite the frustrating circumstances. All in all, good days to be filmmakers!

We had a great time working out blocking and camera movements with the actors, Kelley Faulkner and Erik Batoog, at our two main locations in San Francisco: China Beach and a downtown parking garage. Bring on the shoot!

Thanks to all you Shadow Angel Films supporters for celebrating the release of ROAD RAGE with us last Sunday night.

We love getting our hands dirty in the AWESOME footage from shooting principal photography. So many options, so few minutes!

ROAD RAGE – Locked Out + Wrapped Up

March 23, 2011 · by hdonnell

We are filmmakers who love to expect the unexpected: 97% chance of rain all weekend? Defy the odds, and glimpse a gorgeous sunset when you show up to shoot! Freezing cold? A PA can bundle you in a wool blanket! Locked in a city park at 11:30pm? Time to get out your lock-picking kit or call a park ranger! Thanks to the AWESOME Shadow Angel Films cast and crew, we forged ahead to our last location and wrapped principal photography right on time.

ON IT – Composer Meeting

We just finished a session in the studio of Raymond Anthony, the composer for ON IT. We’re so pleased with the progress of the original music score. The music is gonna make this film rock!

Editing ON IT

October 25, 2010 · by hdonnell

We are deep into the heart of editing ON IT! Drawing closer to a picture lock means that we can focus on sound design and the music. Hard to leave shots on the cutting room floor, but we’re working to make the tightest storyline possible. Happily the acting is so good that it’s fun to watch, even after several viewings! Nice work, Aliza and Tom!
