At age sixteen one typically gets their drivers license (in North America), but I think every sixteen years people should get another license.
Of their choice.
And since it’s your birthday today, Ryan, you get to pick whatever license you want! There’s an evil mastermind license, or a license to captain a starship, or perhaps the ever popular license to kill. Very handy for those annoying people that pop up on your birthday. Hey, the punch bowl!!! I’ll be right back! Oh and…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RYAN!!!

This weekend saw our first out-of-town production. Shooting on location in Cleveland, TN, we also shot our first Noir. Being a noir, it’s about murder, but who’s the killer?

Now begins the hard part: post production. Still, I think we did a pretty good job keeping things organized; our first-time co-director, Stacy Cohl, did a remarkable job beating the performances out of our cast. Photos and screen-shots will come soon. We’re all still recovering from the shoot, as well as the trip.

As the old saying goes, “so what have you done lately?” Actually, we’re working on yet another super-short project. We’re keeping the details scant, but it’ll be about the same length as 3×5, but this time we’re flexing our skills with a new genre: film noir. There’s going to be a few other changes from the way we’ve done things in the past with this film, so it’s bound to be exciting. I hope.

And now for the shameless plug: we’re currently casting roles, but we need a concerned husband. Preferably mid-20’s, around 5′ 6″ – 5′ 10″ tall. Will need to be able to commit to about 12 hours on August 29 in the Cleveland, TN area. Also should be able to acquire his own wardrobe and be willing to do all this for free.

Interested parties should either reply below with a valid e-mail address, or send a note to casting@omega13productions.com.

Editor’s Note: All roles have now been cast. Thank you for your attention.

The latest short that I’ve been working on is now, more or less, complete. The wait is over.  I’ll put up a page for it on this site soon, but for now, you’ll be able to find a YouTube link if you just click below. Read the rest of this entry »

Trailing on the coat-tails of J.J. Abrams “Star Trek”, it seems this is a good year to be a Trekkie.  Film Score Monthly recently announced at Comic-Con that their label will be releasing a massive, digitally restored, complete score to 1982’s “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan”, arguably the best score of the series, and the score which made James Horner’s career.

Find details here.

Since Trey mentioned it in the comments for his last post, Stu Maschwitz has a tutorial on Red Giant TV on using Magic Bullet Looks and Colorista to emulate the looks of big Hollywood films from this summer.  The one thing Trey omitted, however, was sharing the link with everyone else.  So here you go, gang.  Enjoy.

Now, back to trying to wrap up this latest video project.  Stay tuned.

And it turned out pretty good, too.  Who would have thought?

Yes, Trey has finally joined us old and decrepit souls, finally reaching the ripe old age of 31.  As you said back in December, Trey, 31 is 13 in reverse, so hopefully this will also be a good year for you, too.

Happy Birthday!

So, not to overshadow our previous announcement, which is I believe the first real mention that Omega13 Productions will have a film we’re going to try to get in the 2010 Nashville Film Festival (among others).

But this year, in fact in just two weeks, another film will be premiering at the 2009 Nashville Film Festival, a film not made by either Trey or myself, but we do make a small cameo appearance (unless we’ve been cut from the film).

The film is “Leto” and was written and directed by our good friend Luke Dye.  If anyone that reads this is in the area of Green Hills, in Nashville, TN, on either Tuesday, April 21 or Thursday, April 23, you should check it out.  Further information is available at http://www.nashvillefilmfestival.org.  We hope to see you there.

Greetings.
First off, I’d like to apologize sincerely for not posting in so gosh darn long. From all (three) of us here at Omega13 Productions, we are sorry. Our day jobs keep getting in the way of the fun things…

Now, on to the good stuff! The script for the Nashville Film Festival film (which as yet remains unnamed) is very nearly completed! It is jam-packed with action, adventure, romance, and ice cream! Mostly ice cream… I need to stop writing when I’m hungry…

It has been a nice challenge to work collaboratively on a script– especially when the writers live a few hours apart.
We have been working with a composer on a score and are working on a deal with a recording studio to get freebies. Ah nepotism!
We have also been working with actors and Ryan and I will have a reading with them this weekend when I am back into town. One of us will post again to write about how that went.

All in all, things are going very well. Shooting should begin in May and conclude in June. The moment is swift upon us!

Be checking back to read of all the wonderous happenings that are about to… happen.
