Reiki The Movie - Part 1 - Intro

Howdy guys,

Since this stays one of my favorite sites, eventhough I've been negleting it a little lately, I decided to make a comeback stronger than ever, and as an appologie to have left I decided to write a blog about the whole pre-production, production and post-production of my upcoming feature film, not "39", but "REIKI", an action film that will kickass!

Now for details about the story you can always read the blog underneath this one, or check the synopsis on the site itself: http://www.reikithemovie.com

I'm not gonna go into big details because I might get you bored but here is it in short:

this feature film will be a low budget film where the internet community will have a lot of input in it! In storyline, as in creation of props, clothes and much much more.

With this I'm trying to innovate the way of producing a film, while at the same time, to teach and provide details walkthroughs about filmmaking and giving a huge entertainment to the people while creating the film.

This is how this will happen: the whole pre-production happen through the site, then when we start shooting, which is also done in an innovative way, but let me first explain it.

The way of shooting won't be the classical 3-week shoot and then 3 months of editing since we'll have more than 50 hours of rushes to puzzel together. But instead, since this is a low budget film, we will be shooting every sunday and only sunday!

Meaning, that every Sunday, we will edit what we shot on monday-tuesday and send it to the sound guys and composer, on wednesday we will add pictures and making-off videos of the Sunday into the site, and the rest of the days we will prepare all the shots for the next sunday, and by having that time to prepare we will actually be able to shoot 15-20min of useful footage every sunday!

Meaning we'll only need 5 Sundays to shoot a feature film. And the editing will be done straight away since we'll only need to edit the footage from the last Sunday while the rest is already done!

Now this is the master plan for the film!

And our challenge is to prove it is possible!

Now we'll see how it goes!
