New Mustang P-51Teaser Still

Back from Hiatus!

I know it's been awhile, but this project has never left my heart.  In fact in that time I've been out expanding my reference, and experience.

But this next week I am dedicating to seeing how much of the trailer I can get through.

So watch this blog, i'll be posting this week hopefully daily.  But whenever I have something to show.


I've also gone through this blog and refreshed any links that might have died.  But if you find any broken links, just let me know.  thanks.

In the meanwhile, take a look at one of the shots from when I put it down.
I think I'll have to revisit each 'completed' shot and give it some love.  My tastes and skill levels have changed a bit since I created this.   We'll see.

enjoy.  It's good to be back.

Longest Hiatus Ever!

It's been forever it seems since my last update. But I have had so much going on that I haven't been able to focus on Invasion.

However, I'm in the process of dusting off all the old files, and getting back into production!

I have the trailer about 33% done, and could be completed by end of year if I hunker down. ( so expect it next summer! ) Ha!

Any filmmaker who has a full-time job, knows the difficulties of 'after-hour' production... ;-) Weekend time is usually family time, and weekdays are typically belong to my Clients.. So that leaves short stints of production here and there. But please rest assured, that Invasion is under constant development.

More in the coming weeks.

So production on the trailer has been slow going. But it is going! I've put a couple of stills on my regular blog.

I do have some "backstory" images for you to check out! These images are further proof that the events in "Invasion" are not only based on truth, but that Oklahoma Shay was indeed a real American Hero! I risk everything bringing these images to life, but it's a story that has to be told!

Here is Oklahoma Shay and Agent: Future Girl.
circa. 1942



Some of Oklahoma's various Medals of valor!





Some more of Oklahoma's things...

Update!

So finding time to work on the trailer is the challenge these days. With work, and the fact I'm a social butterfly it has become increasingly difficult to make time to work on the Teaser...

That being said, I have some new stuff. I have completed a Color-Script for the animatic, and they look awesome. I've also finished the first shot from the Teaser and am moving onto the next shot. My goal is to have a finished Teaser with audio out by Christmas! That gives me a deadline to hit... and should be dooable if I actually sit down and work on it like I should.

So I debated about showing these. Irregardless, here they are.

I am however, holding back the Teaser-Animatic until I get a few more scenes under my belt.
This basically is just color reference and direction for the Teaser. The color frames are just imagry I either created, painted, found, or montgued into what you see here. I'll be using them to reference for pallete when I'm building the scenes... They evolve in the pre-vis scene but will stay pretty close to the drawn boards. Now leave me be, so I can get back to the next shot. Enjoy.

I've been working on the Trailer for the short, and would like to share a preliminary background image! This is Mt. Scott as seen from Fort Sill.

More to come soon! Enjoy!
