Update

Hello everyone!  I don't know if anyone actually looks at this blog anymore since I've started my art blog, but I thought I'd post an update.  The premiere went well, although we didn't sell quite as many DVD's as we would have like to have sold seeing as now we are out of money for submitting to film festivals.  We were able to submit to around 12 film festivals though.  We won 3 awards at the 2013 Central Florida Film Festival and received an Honorable Mention at the 2014 Otronicon Film Slam.  We're still awaiting the decisions of a few festivals to see if we got in though.

Thank you to all of you who have already supported our film!  We truly could not have received the recognition that we did without you!

Printed Buttons!

We got the test versions of the buttons yesterday and they look pretty sweet, I'm so excited!  My teacher, Darlene, is having her daughter go ahead and make the rest.  Monday is the premiere and we will have ~450 of these buttons, along with the GaiaSpora designs, for sale as a sort of raffle for larger pieces of artwork from both films!

New Buttons

Due to the previous buttons for the premiere event not being of high enough quality and the characters in some of the designs being too small to recognize when in button form, they had to be redesigned.  Here are the new and improved designs!

Visit from John Hurst

Today we had the opportunity to meet with John Hurst, from Blue Sky studios, for the second time this year.  The first time he came to see our productions they were still all playblasts.  Today we were able to show him the final rendered version and he really liked it!  It means so much to all of us who worked on the film to hear from people outside of the production love it as much as we do!

Premiere Buttons

So today I put together the photos for the buttons that we will wear at the premiere.  They turned out pretty well and I'm excited to see them turned into actual buttons!

New Poster

Today our poster was put up on display in the main lobby of our building!  All the new posters look amazing and it will be nice seeing them every morning on the way to class!  

Soon to come

We now have our beautiful new credits thanks to our director, Trey Buongiorno, and they look amazing!  Also, me and the other assistant director, Kelsey Binninger, have started working on creating a website devoted to all things ember so stay tuned for exciting things!
