• Back in November, 2010,
a harddrive malfunction made retrieving the vast majority of video files
from the film impossible. I am now in the process of re-capturing
all the footage, and reconstructing the film from scratch. It is
the intent to rebuild it as exactly as possible (with a few technical enhancements
such as improved black levels and such). This is being done to create
a new video master for the film in black & white, and to also create
a first ever color version release. The short film was shot in color,
and only made B&W in post-production. Thankfully,
I still have all the Final Cut Pro project files to help me replicate settings
for filters, audio levels, and such. So, I am not flying blind in
this effort. Much of this will be regularly reported on at the Facebook
page with color stills and progress updates. Already, I have released
the reconstructed teaser trailer, but now, available in color.
The trailer can viewed on YouTube, Vimeo, Daily
Motion, and Facebook.

| • Film Rogue has
now launched their indie film digital download service. You can now OWN "Dead
Of Night" in either DVD resolution for $1.99, or an iPod encoded download
for $0.99! Those are not typos. You pay a terribly low cost for the download,
and it's yours to own forever. You only need to do a quick registration
on the site, and you're ready to start downloading. Since the service
just "soft launched," the selection is very minimal, but Jon Ashby puts
all films through a screening process first. He wants to maintain
a high standard of quality, and I'm glad that 'DoN' has passed it. |
