  • Where does the money go? Post Production costs
    8/26/2010 by Lorie Marsh

    During post production, we may find another nuance to Lost in Sunshine's story that we didn't plan for in the script.  This is what can happen during editing.  :) 

    Viewers can glean bits of story and character traits from individual scenes, but the overall rhythm and pacing of the movie will reveal itself first to the editor as she pieces together the footage from the shoot, then to Jentri as she reviews the editor's progress.

    8/22/2010 by Jentri Chancey

    This month's August episode of Sunny Side Up features my very dear friend, mother of two, and ghost hunting bud, Carly Bell. During the day, she teaches dance to kids at a private school here in Austin. On the side, she also teaches adult classes at Lifetime FItness, and is a key member of Aether Paranormal's team, where she searches for all unexplainable things that go bump in the night.

  • What projects are you working on?
    8/19/2010 by Jentri Chancey

    Lorie and I had a conversation recently about continuing to produce work, while waiting on Sunshine's magic to manifest. :)

    Sure, there are many projects we upkeep and creatively continue to entertain weekly/monthly (i.e. character blogs, social media, Sunny Side Up episodes) with LIS, but we aren't shooting it - YET.

  • Where does the money go? Production costs
    7/25/2010 by Lorie Marsh

    Production expenses comprise all the costs of actually shooting the movie: crew pay, equipment, food, locations, wardrobe, sets, etc.  It's the more sexy stuff one usually associates with movie-making -- actors in costume, sets dressed, boom mics hovering above the actors, camera rolling, the director saying, "Action!"

    Our total budget for these costs currently hovers around $190,000, with the biggest sub-categories being:

  • Jentri talks about writing in character for Lyn and Bob
    7/20/2010 by Jentri Chancey

    After talking to a few friends about LIS' lead characters, Lyn and Bob, I realized that there could be some confusion about these blogs and fictional characters. Two friends of mine actually thought that I was writing Lyn's life, based on my own! So, I made this video blog to clear things up.

    Enjoy, and thanks for listening!

  • Where does the money go? Of Money and Wishes
    7/12/2010 by Lorie Marsh

    One of my jobs as a movie producer is to look at numbers.  Befriend them.  Massage them.  Plead with them!  Ha ha.  In short, I look at the numbers it should take to make the movie, as well as the numbers to get the finished movie in front of people's eyeballs, and finally, the possible revenues and returns to our investors.  Wheee!
