Lighting test of miniature set for stop-motion short film.

Due to the recent success of our previous short film “Isobel & The Witch Queen“, we have been quite busy with our film production efforts. We currently have several projects in various stages of development; we are finishing up pre-production and about to go into immediate production of our first short, stop-motion animation film entitled “The Haunting at Danford Cabin” which will be an experimental ghost story.

Now in pre-production is our first feature length sci-fi thrill entitled “Biocode“. We’ve locked down the leading actor and actress, have some of the crew in place (including a great Cinematographer) and are currently designing props, sets and “products” that will be featured in this movie as well as performing camera/lighting tests. We are still casting for several other roles and still seek a Visual FX Artist and Production Designer.

We will also be seeking further funding through various, strategic campaigns in order to give this movie the production value it needs for the subject matter. Please check back for updates and further details shortly…

UPDATE: We are now in full production of our first stop-motion animation film, “The Haunting at Danford Cabin” and so far the dailies have been looking pretty good! We already have a couple of shorts film festivals interested in including this piece once it is finished.

This particular short is being filmed completely with the  iPhone 4S using the iMotion HD app along with the iMotion Remote app for the iPad 2. Below is a behind-the-scenes still of Director Craig Anthony Perkins filming on the miniature set using the iPhone 4S mounted onto a Pico Dolly.
