4 years ago, I announced plans to release this project some time in 2007. I can tell you that it's still in progress and I haven't lost sight of the goal. Stay tuned.

I'm planning a video blog of behind the scenes shorts that I've been compiling over the past two years. These shorts will show my progress as the movie takes shape until completion.
As it has taken much longer than predicted, I feel this is a great way to stay motivated and get some feedback from everyone interested!

A very special thanks to Josh at Brickfilms.com for expediting my order of Stop Motion Pro! You can now order this directly from brickfilms and support the site at the same time. This should make animating much easier than using Premiere. (A program that was never really intended for stop mo anyway).

I had to rebuild the subway set...looks much better. After getting some feedback and taking a long hard objective look at some of my animation - I will be re-shooting a number of scenes.
I kept telling myself that I'd be okay with some of the shots that weren't up to par, but I'm realizing that I can't do that. One thing's for sure - my next project will not be this big, or this long.

Just a quick note on what I have planned for the release of the film:
- 30 second trailer (tenative)
- Spring release
- run time around 8-10 mins
- commentary track, including a glimpse at my next project (later this year)
I'd love to have a trailer ready for the public, but right now - I'm still trying to wrap up some loose ends regarding the plot. It keeps evolving.

A dilemma that I'm running into, is my desire to tap in to several different genre's. This has really forced me to get creative and...I guess develop quite a layered story. These changes have taken the story from just plain strange - to an even darker place. I'm realizing that I needed answers to explain the main characters actions.
Now I just hope I can pull it off...
Seems like I'm just wingin' it most of the time. On the other hand, I've watched every scene (in my head) so many times that I know exactly what I want.

It's been nearly 6 months since I posted anything worth noting...and now is the time.
Filming is moving along. A key scene in the elevator sequence has been finished as well. Tomorrow I start building an apartment set. Overall, I'm pleased with what I've conjured up so far. I'm learning quite a bit as I go...I just hope I can maintain quality animation for each scene and not rush.
Believe it or not, I've been brain-storming an idea for another project that will blow the doors off this movie.

Well, here is a small taste of what is to come.
Unfortunately, I can only foresee more delays. My new job is taking a lot of my time and I'm finding I have neither the time or energy to get much done on this project. Realistically, I'm planning an early 2007 release date, as you can see from the teaser poster below:

Welcome to The Elevator. This revised blog will continue following the development of my first stop-motion project that is currently in production. The story is complete - but like any film, is constantly being revised up to the last minute. I'm aiming for a year end completion date - but that might be a bit of a stretch. The movie could've easily been completed by now, but when you're the only person involved, overseeing every aspect of production - it can be daunting and tiresome. Regardless, The Elevator has an original story and will venture into some interesting territory, I hope!! Thank you for stopping by!
