Pre-Production...

Pre-production
The Rapture is an Anime film with martial arts, sci-fi and will have a comic book feel. This is a feature that we are currently developing (in pre-production) thanks to the extremely well received short film A Joker’s Card.
A Joker’s Card, a parody fan film of DC Universe, won several awards, shown at film festivals and conventions, and continued to garner a lot of attention, now it is being taken to film markets including Cannes, Hong Kong, Toronto, and AFM, we know it will get a lot more attention and it would push forward for name recognition at least.
At the same time, our agent is very interested in doing some pre-sale for The Rapture while selling A Joker’s Card. So that means we have to get a lot of stuff done, some include getting a Teaser that can showcase some of the talent and style, a business plan, the script, and perhaps a great poster design.
These would be the minimal essential to get things rolling… Problem, it’s such a rush time frame: all needed to be done before end of April. While we are continuing working in putting together the crew to work with our talented cast starting from July 1-15 of 2006.
Because of our tight schedule, we decided to work in two teams: working simultaneously at least for 8 days, we have a lot of great news, including a small city allowing us to shoot at their water dock area free of charge, also thanks to a flight school in Cleveland, we also secured about 5 hours of aerial shoot usage.
Things are moving forward, but the process of getting here started last June 2005….
So, here’s the flashback…
