Update

I think I'm overdue for a post don't you think? I know, I REALLY should post this more often. Anyways, update? Well Episode 4 is still in the writing process because of my enormous procrastination skills but there are a bunch of scenes that we can shoot right now, just need the right time.
Also special effects for Episode 1 are done since there wasn't much to do regarding that so I will re-post that then an audio commentary immediately after so stay tuned for that. I might also do another music video if I feel like it/have the time. But for now, very slow progress for Lost Liberty EP: 4. Other things will be on the way though so don't assume we're inactive.

Thanks,
Indy.

Episode 3 Is Going Up

Well Episode 3 was up for a short time but when it was uploading to YouTube, it somehow had a sound split that was off from the video by about a secong and a half...count that, that's a HUGE split. So I took it down.

I will go up again tomorrow afternoon so stay tuned 'till then. What I will probably focus on next is trying to kick off an Marines short because I've been wanted to do a few skits for a while. Plus I have an idea for a little comedy short video that rips off a bunch of TV shows like That 70s Show, King of the Hill, South Park, and Whose Line Is It Anyway?.

Don't worry, I have already got the first half of the script for Episode 4 completed and I hope we don't take six months to get it done but at any rate, I will have more things up soon.

Thanks, Indy.

P.S. I will also post audio commentarys of Episodes 1 - 3 which are already done and I will begin a short little tutorial called "How To Make An Action Movie" now that I have some work to back up my advice. (And YES it is inspired off of "DigitalPh33r's Guide To Making Halo 3 Machinima" but it will take a totally different path of it's own...because it's not machinima)

All Of Episode 3 Has Been Shot!

Finally we have everything shot for Episode 3. Hope you all had a happy holidays and I should have Episode 3 finished soon...I mean it this time!

Update

Okay here's what going on for you people who still visit this site (and thank you).

First off, I'm sorry that I have not update this thing since October I think, I just havn't had time, or just didn't update this thing when I got online. I hope to try and keep posting this more often to keep you guys interested and know what's going on with our production.

Which leads me to this: I'm sure your all STILL wondering when Episode 3 of Lost Liberty is going to be out. Well hopefully before New Years but there will be a price that I'll have to pay. We still need about 8 or so shots to finish it and it's about half-way edited and we should be able to get that done before Christmas. I will edit it to my full capabilities like my previous ones, and that means there will not be any special effects immediately. I will put effects to Episodes 2 and 3 after 3 is posted because it can be a pretty long and laborious job sometimes and I don't want to make you guys wait anymore.

Now let me explain why it has taken so long. Episode 3 has been very demanding because the entire episode is a constant battle scene which requires some very complex shots that require a bunch of people. It's harder than it sounds to organize a shoot with 7 or 8 people who are willing to sacrifice their entire weekend to shoot this. We've done this three times now...

I extend a special thanks to you guys who have been able to make it to these shoots and to yall's parents for allowing them to do this because it really means a lot!

Remember back when Episodes 1 and 2 were released? Well that took a little over a month to get those two out because it was a little simpler to shoot and organize. Hopefully, when Episode 3 is out, it should go back to the faster pace that we used to have. The hardest thing is shooting these because once all of that is done, editing is done very fast because I've been editing videos for over 7 years now.

So hang in there and Episode 3 should be out in the next week or so.

Hope everybody has a Merry Christmas,
Indy.

Episode 3 shoot

We will hopefully have our last shoot weekend for Episode 3 and FINALLY get it finished up and posted. Stay tuned also for a re-post of Episode 2 with full special effects as well. Also if you haven't already noticed, I put a new picture on the top of the page whenever I update something.

Update

Scene 2 for Lost Liberty Ep. 3 has been shot and editing is underway. I have written the teaser trailer plus a bunch of shorts for Marines. I've decided to begin Marines because of the slow progress of each Lost Liberty Episode. Marines requires very few actors in the skits so they will be quick and worth it hopefully.

Also take a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXxicabaWp8
This is the Wimberley High Spirit of Texas Marching Band. Most of the actors (including myself) in Lost Liberty is in the band. The only people I can pick out is at 00:35 I am on the 45 yd line and Robert (Sgt. Hill) is on the 50 yd line and is also the trumpet soloist at the end.

Hope you enjoy!
Indy.

Episode 3 Shoot

Well the shoot weekend for Episode 3 went great. We got a lot shot but not everything. We got the first scene done and I will post a very short teaser (about 10 seconds long) of the episode to give you guys something new to watch. Full effects will be added as well.

Stay tuned, Indy.

Episode 3 Update

Shoot day has been finalized and it looks like it is a go for just about everybody. Yes I know, it should have been a few weeks ago but everybody has been busy over the summer but I think I've found a date that works. Also, EffectsLab Pro came in the mail a few weeks ago so now we have special effects like muzzle flashes, blood, etc. which is what Episode 2 lacked.

Right now I'm working on putting some special effects in the battle scenes in Episode 2 and I will post them on YouTube so you all can see what we are now capable of.

So yeah, the shoot for Episode 3 will be in about two weeks.

So stay with us, Indy.

Update on Lost Liberty

Hey, sorry for the lack of updates. I'd see the blog on my favorites and think "I'll post later." lol.

Okay here's the plan for shooting future episodes: School will be out on Friday (THANK GOD!!!!) and most of us will be pretty busy in June, plus my birthday is this Saturday, the 30th (FREAK YEAH!!!). Speaking of which, I'm working on a little treat for my birthday, a little birthday thing from me to yall. It's a compilation of all of my favorite video games with "Ladies and Gentlemen" playing. The music video will be uploaded on May 30th (my birthday) for you guys, you'll get a kick out of it.

As for Lost Liberty, I am planning on a double shoot on the last weekend of June to shoot Episode 3. We will spend most of the summer shooting more than editing so I can take advantage of everybody's summer free time before school starts back up again. When it does, I will edit more. That doesn't mean that you guys wont get any Lost Liberty over the summer. They will just come out slowly versus when school starts and I will be crankin' 'em out!

So that's it for now.

Oh one last thing. I am trying to come up with an idea for a one-hit-wonder for Indypendent Studios. Something that should have no squeal or series to it, but to use with no copy written material and to enter in contests. I really need to start getting into that so I can personally say "I am an award winning filmmaker." Plus it would go GREAT on a resume to collage or something. So if you have any ideas, shoot me an email! Even if you think it's stupid...I may be, but you never know.

So stay with us, I'll post some BTS and various projects I am working on.

Indy.
