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.

Next Set:

A brief scene where two lovers will be taking a late night stroll...

4 more scenes to shoot!

- Lab
- Dream Sequence
- Boss's Office
- Subway/Taxi

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:

Here is a shot of my latest set. I built it last weekend and I plan on shooting tonight. Future images will be pixelated like the one below, for the sake of maintaining secrecy, content integrity and blah, blah, blah, etc.

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!
