I know you guys are probably sick of this view..

But things have been winding down at work, and while I still have to be there, I now have a little time on the side to make my digital set pieces look really nice. So, you'll notice the new crates. Doctor Grymm Laboratories has provided the gravity retardants, the aether manipulators and the blasting caps. The barrels contain gunpowder, cavorite, saltpeter and methyl nitrate. There's a travel poster on the wall, and I've done my best to simulate bright daylight streaming from above. What do you think?

More to come!

Some beautiful period accessories for my film!

While I have been drifting in the white noise of overtime, my friend Karen has been knitting up a storm of Victorian era awesomeness. This is called a misers purse- a design of brilliant innovation to keep pickpockets from stealing your coin. It opens in a very unique way, with sort of a crisscross pattern that you have to pull apart and then separate the yarn in order to get at your money.

Not only is it beautiful, it's practical too.  You can see some of the other stuff she's made for Adventures in Science over at her blog!

Thanks, Karen! It looks AMAZING!

Bad news, film fans.

I'm now on OT seven days a week. 10 hour weekdays, 8 hour weekends.
We're not gonna be able to shoot anything until mid November at the earliest. Which sucks, because I had two insert shots I wanted to get on film; The kids playing and Mulvey's dad drowning in the ocean during a ship wreck.

Oh well. It will happen.

One more reason I know this film of mine will work.

It's pretty wordy. But nevertheless, it's frickin' awesome. Modern camera work, contemporary scene layout and composition in a silent format. It works!

It works.

May I present... Jack Mulvey!

Here's the tinkerer that ended the Civil War abruptly in 1863 with the invention of an aerial mortar launcher that rained destruction on the southern calvary.

He's pictured here portrayed by my friend (and actor) Scott Gould. The only thing missing in this picture is the coat- We're looking for one. Doesn't he looks awesome, though? Imagine the pockets on his vest filled with little knick knacks and doodads...

This is going to be awesome.

I want to thank Scott for coming over and trying on the clothes tonight; he's a busy man.

Awesome.
