Well my friend goes to columbia college which is the biggest film making school in Chicago. Financially, we all chip in the money, eveyone whos starring in the film that is. remember this is an idependant film.
Everything is recorded on digital camera and after we are done shooting for the day, the film goes directly to the computer where we add in all the effects and sound and everything else. The program we are using for the special effects is called Alem DV, however im pretty sure we'll need better software for xmen.
In the past year we have filmed a remake of back to the future, and we are currently working on part 2, and also we are working on ghostbusters. Then Batman will be filmed then My baby, The X-men. We are planning to start X-men around november. maybe film some bits of it before then. But are hopefully to have some fight scenes in the rain and the snow.
Basically the effect we have in back to the future and ghostbusters look great. to be honest i think they look better than they did in the original movies. These past movies are alot shorter and obviously the story isnt as good as the original. Which is why i have began writing xmen now because i want the story to be perfect and blow these other movies we've made completely away.
The main concern right now with xmen is wolverines blades, we can cut the scenes and make them appear very quickly but id do anything to have an effect like they did in the real movie. Gambits cards will look amazing, as will cyclops's blasts. Storms lightning will look great, and we shouldnt have a poblem at all with night crawler. pyro and ice mans are also going to be kind of tricky.
well anyways im just beginning to write the story now, so please give me any ideas you might have for a good movie, or even just a scene. thanks. and ill keep you updated
