"Facility XIV" Named Celtx Project of the Week!
Our "Project of the Week" is coming at us from Calvin Fahey, a celtx user in Monterey, California.
Calvin and a group of his friends set aside the time to do what they love most - make short films. They've all attended a few courses here and there but for the most part are all self taught filmmakers. Between them they own three chip cameras with all the extras, tripods, home made jibs and dollies and a basic lighting kit.
Their latest labour of love is "Facility XIV," a short version of a bigger piece that will be made in the near future. This shorter version will be shot on the 20th and 21st of October.
The film takes place the end of the Zombie War when a lone survivor of a bioweapons experiment is captured. But he is not what is to be feared....in "Facility XIV."
If all goes as planned, "Facility XIV" will be ready by the end of November. Calvin is using celtx to organize the project. He will act as videographer and editor and will use a minimal crew. The film will combine a colour corrected style (to give it an ominous feel) and a graphic novel style ("something between 300 and A Scanner Darkly").
As a "do it yourself" kinda guy, Calvin likes to be involved in the entire process of filmmaking.
Calvin writes, "I like to start from concept to content. Idea to concept to script to storyboard to shoot to edit to dvd authoring. I own and use a Cannon GL2, I script using celtx, I storyboard using Frame Forge, I edit on IMOVIE and Final Cut, I do sound in Garage Band or Soundtrack, I create my music score with Music bed DV, I usually use Quicktime Pro to format for the web and IDVD to author. "
Occasionally Calvin will post to http://www.ifilm.com/profile/calvinfahey.

Have a great time on your shoot, gang!
Michelle and the C-Team.
I wanted to mention Patrick Sheffield at http://pistolerapost.com/ who has provided me with one of his pluggins for the project called grafficnovel.
