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!

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.

Episode 2 Posted

Finally it's been completed and uploaded.

View here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pT5ewesrMQ4

As for Episode 3, I will spend most of the time in May writing because most of us (including me) have a lot of stuff going on so I will be writing Episode 3, 4, and possibly 5. Then as soon as school is out, we will begin shooting. If you likes the battle in Episode 2, get ready for 3 because the entire episode will be a huge battle scene from start to finish.

So yeah, Indy.

My Apologise

Hey guys. I'd like to apologize for the very long delay of Episode 2 of "Lost Liberty." It took us a while to find dates to shoot this. Yes I said dates. It took us three shoots to get Episode 2 shot. The prologue for Episode 2 should be out...tonight! :D

Now due to this episode taking so long to get out (2 1/2 months to be precise) I have realized that making these well done, plus special effects, are going to take longer than I thought. I thought I could get one episode out per month but I see that it will take longer if I take my time and make every detail count. Now Episode 2 had some delays because of extra curricular activities, and shooting at two locations that were about 4 miles away from each other. Episode 3 will be shot in only one location and should be a little easier.

Furthermore, episodes of "Lost Liberty" will not be posted as frequent as the hit YouTube show "Aftermath", those of you who followed that series for some time are aware of how long it took for Episode 9 to be posted. Expect the same thing for "Lost Liberty."

That said, it doesn't mean you wont hear from us at all besides this blog. We shoot video diarys of each shoot day (big shoot days where my friends/actors sleep over the day before) and edit bloopers from each shoot. We will post those during the wait between each episode. I still need to upload the video diary we did for Episode 2 and I will put that together. It should be a lot of fun to watch and see what we're up to.

One last thing, some of you have had this on your mind the whole time reading this, "When is Episode 2 actualy going to be out!?" Bad news first, I am having issues moving the footage from one computer to another but it's not a big issue. And also the length of the episode may be a little dissapointing. I am estimating that it will be about 7 or 8 minutes long but it WILL be worth it. But, all footage for Episode 2 have been shot and all that is left is editing the final stuff. You will meet the main characters of the series and will lead into a battle scene.

Be patient everyone, it's almost here! Indy.

Stay tuned, Indy.

Lost Liberty Episode 2 Update

We had our second shoot day last weekend and got a lot shot but unfortunately.........wait for it........not all of it. Before you guys start sending me hate mail because of our slow progress, we got all the shots we need for the prologue for Episode 2 so that will be out soon to tie you over. If it still takes a while, I will post some video diarys were doing as a log and some bloopers.

So hang in there, Indy.
