Q |
Are you making any profit from
Reign of the Fallen? |
A |
Not at all. All things Star Wars are the property of
Lucasfilm and it would be illegal for us to profit from
their use. |
|
|
Q |
Why Star Wars? |
A |
I wanted to make a Samurai style film that pushed the
boundaries of what could be accomplished in film production within a small
budget, but I didn't want to be limited by locations and
what not. Since Star Wars is largely a samaurai movie
in space, it seemed like a natural choice. |
|
|
Q |
It looks like you went to Tunisia,
or at least the Mojave to shoot this. Where did you shoot
the exteriors? |
A |
Believe it or not, all the exteriors were shot at a
nifty little place we discovered in New Jersey. |
|
|
Q |
When will the film be complete? |
A |
The movie was completed in mid-October, and now it's
just a matter of time before the DVD's are ready for the
first 100 people who requested them. |
|
|
Q |
How long is the movie? |
A |
The final cut clocks in at just under an hour. It was
tempting to put a little more into the story to get it
to feature length, but the current cut is tight and is
the preferred version. |
|
|
Q |
Will the movie be released online? |
A |
We will definitely be releasing it online. Where it
is hosted is another question. There is also a chance
of bittorrent version of the DVD being released. Check
back here for updates on that. |
|
|
Q |
It looks like a "real movie".
What did you shoot it on? |
A |
To help draw an audience in and make the drama work,
I wanted as few distractions as possible. Since HD video was not an option at the time, I at least wanted 24 frame per
second visuals, which are what people are used to watching when
they see a movie, so we chose the Panasonic DVX-100 for
its great film-like picture. Other than that, its just
lots of hard work and lighting. |
|
|
Q |
Do you have any projects in store
next? |
A |
Definitely. Hopefully by next year we'll have a feature
film in the works. Stay tuned for updates. |
