A Fistful of Odyssey begins production June 20th
 

A Fistful of Odyssey is CMX Pictures' sequel to last year's The Good, The Bad, and The Iliad. Due to the amount of copyrighted music in it, it will not be available for sale. DVDs will mostly just be given out to the cast & crew members.

We were supposed to do this earlier this year during Spring Break, but we didn't have everybody cast in time. At least it's getting done now, though

filming starts tomorrow...can't wait :D

Director,Writer,Actor,Producer?

all of the above?

yes, except I'm co-producer


there was part of the ninja fight scene that we didn't get to get filmed because we were running late, people were tired and I was badly sunburned on my forearms, but other than that the week went great. We've got the green-screen stuff to do in two weeks, and then filming is done

Green screen is great fun. I did a flat black screen for a friend's film no budget film thinking nothing of it until I was doing it in post. I had thick black glasses on that disappeared when I chromakeyed. Needless to say I was too lazy to redo the take so it has edges around me in it (for my whole 14 seconds in burning downtown NY LOL). Other than that, it would've been perfect. Live and learn.

so far the movie's turning out great. In three weeks we're finishing up filming, and by then I'll have enough edited already so's that the rest of post won't take any time at all. If we film early enough in the week, it might be done by August

What are the films about?

The Good, The Bad, and The Iliad was a 10 minutes long rendition of Homer's The Iliad, done really quickly (shooting alltogether took less than a day, spread out over the weekend), and with four people total, including cast and crew. It was done for a class, in which we were supposed to study a section of mythology, and me and my partner got The Iliad, and instead of doing a poster like everyone else, we made a movie (and subsequently got 105% cause of how awesome it was)

I later got the idea of doing a sequel based on The Odyssey. It's got more cast and crew, and more time to shoot, and a better screenplay since we aren't bogged down by stuff like project requirements.

For lack of a better explanation, it's like Monty Python writing the cliff's notes to The Odyssey (except we're probably not as funny as Monty Python)


tentative DVD cover (some of the stuff I'm putting on it hasn't been filmed yet)

Cool idea, very cool title I woulda never thought of that.


Don't sell yourself short, you might be better one day.



You're doing it for recreation,extra credit,film festival?

recreation/pracitce. Due to all the copywritten music (and footage from Zombi 2), I probably can't enter it in any film festivals
