So, the script is done, the concept is mastered and the audition is on the way (this is before Christine’s comment on the audition process).
I have to get the people together that can make this ambitious project a reality, so, I asked those who were involved in A Joker’s Card, after all, they went to hell with me and know what would work and what wouldn’t, having them onboard would help make the transition from a short film to feature with a bit less headache while creating the universe we want to.
Because we were all had worked together, it was easier to collaborate again, however, this time, since it is no longer a DC Comic/WB film, I decided to ‘educate’ my fellow friends on the Anime/Hong Kong style movies, so we watch Legend of Zhu, Hero, Twins Effect, Casshern, Initial-D, House of Fury, Arahan, The Promise and a few others to understand their vision, style and the score used.
I wanted a very orchestral sound which would help make this film more of an epic feel, granted there will be some current pop or punk music where it is appropriate, however, most will be orchestral scoring that will be composed by Aryavarta Kumar, whom did a wonderful job with A Joker’s Card.
So, now that is set, I approached a few people: Peter T., Anne D., Andrew S., Andrew Sc., Tom L., Christine C., Chandler C and James G. These were the DOERS that made A Joker’s Card success and without them I wouldn’t have a strong team. Later, Jeff Y. came onboard and now he’s one of those that I can’t live without!
Each are unique and have expertise within the field, they are, if look at as a hierarchy, the generals (in film terms, the producers) that would make the movie work. The department these individuals will be taking charge of including wardrobe, makeup, logistic, legal, effects, safety, harness, actors, fight choreograph, script and others. They each need to be able to work side-by-side each other to make it happen.
In additional to the Producers, we also needed to lock down the time, location, budget, and crews that would make this a reality. Time was easily taken cared of as we realized that if we shoot during a holiday season, it would maximize our time together, making it happens. As for location, that’s another story, we had some location, but then we lost some but gain others… (More thread on this perhaps in the future).
So, now we need to get the crews together…
