[The Question]

Ted Kord = hawt secks.



I must give a suggestion, however. Since Ted's home town is Hub City, some throwaway mention of The Question would not be uncalled for.




In any event, your fan films are pretty damn sweet.

 

[SpiderTime]

well unfortunately, there is no dialogue in this promo, but i can make mention of it in the script. i have ted reading up about batman in the gotham gazzette when he decides to persure being a vigilante, perhaps, there can be some mention of the question as well.

 

[SpiderTime]

also, im not too sure where to set the whole movie. i was kind of leaning towards nyc.

 

[The Question]

Well, Ted's supposed to be from Hub City in the comics. You can film it where ever you like and simply call it Hub City.

 

[SpiderTime]

true. i guess i will. no sense in not being faithful to the source material, right?

That's a good shot.

Ahhh, too bad that builder came and assaulted you. Maybe he didn't want to be on camera.

it should be done in about 2 weeks or so. i will also be screening it at New York Comic Con this febuary as well as being online like all my other stuff.

the nyc comic con screening will be part of a blue beetle themed panel discussing a new hard cover book about the life liniage of the character. i will also have a small featured part in the book as well. that book should be on shelves this april.

[SpiderTime]

What are you filming on and what are you using to edit? Lighting rig?

 

[SpiderTime]

filming on sony hd, editing on final cut pro hd ands i dont have any lights on this. just using natural lighting. but the footage looks pretty bad ass.

 

[Cyrusbales]

What sort of budget are you looking at? Sony HD or HDV? Sorry about all the questions, i'm just interested how other people do my job so to speak, lol. (looking cool btw!)

 

[SpiderTime]

the sony hd cost a little under 4k. and final cut costs about 500 dollars. also, lighting kits can be about 1k. so what is it that you do?

I run an indie production company in england. Cyrus Bales Films. I'm in the middle of a feature film at the moment, it premiers for critics in january(hopefully) in clapham. SHould be at least 70 critics from across south england, and some distributors also. If you want any advice or pointers or anything, I'm more than happy to help.
