01/01/07 - FINISHED!!!!!!!

THAT'S A WRAP! That's it....Gaylon Peglegg Part I - Exorcist....is finished. Music, editing, colour treatments, audio mix...all of it...done done done. And if I do say so myself...it's PHENOMENAL! Better even than I though it was while putting all the THOUSANDS of elements together. If you have been keeping up to date on this production as I know many of you have, you will know this has been an at times a MAMMOTH piece. It may only be a half an hour show, but the many elements, styles, FX's, techniques etc have all been a valuable experience in filmmaking. I look back now and see how far I personally have come as a filmmaker....this has been 6-8 months in the works and the quality really does show. I established this blog for one main purpose..and that is an example to fellow filmmakers that things CAN be done differently. Things do not HAVE to be done in the "industry" way. YOU can make a film, if you have the eye for it, and the heart for it...and most importantly...the PASSION for it. So for all fellow film-makers out there, please allow me to sum up the overall point of this blog.

While making this piece, which even in rough forms has turned heads already, I and my colleagues have 1) Held down 9-5 day jobs 2) Set up an official production company 3) Shot and completed a music video 4) Shot and completed a documentary for a major TV company 5) developed a script and agenda for a self financed feature 6) Pitched, accepted, and been commissioned for SEVERAL documentaries for a major US, Internet and soon to launch on Sky Documentary TV company 7) Pitched and got green light to take further TWO feature film proposals for a major film production company...as in like, for cinema and DVD release (!) 8) Had our personal lives going all over the place...and 9) Developed more concepts to start in pre-production on.

AND ALL OF THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE STARTING GAYLON PEGLEGG! And more! So, point being..if you want to make films...if you REALLY want it, with passion, drive, and dedication...then you CAN do it while holding down a "normal" bill paying life. This piece will now allow us to take forward the ideal of making it in the TV and Film Industry, which i salready WELL underway for 2007 without this piece...so it's all better with it!

But the most importnat thing about Gaylon Peglegg....is my god...it's fucking funny! Now it's time to get it out there...festivals, prodcution companies, competitions..and firstly...a screening for all cast and crew and friends...one provately, and one publicy....coming REAL soon. The film may be finished, but the fun is about to start. Fuck me. Did all this really happen?! See you at the movies folks!
