So today I had a chat with my college tutor regarding the films progress, everything went very well and they have confirmed that my approach to the experimental client is acceptable.
the only issue that is needing to be addressed as soon as possible is the marvel/disney copyright.
This could make or break the film in terms of distribution however I will not let this issue halt the project at this point far too much time and effort has been made into planning the production and I cant let it stop the momentum. One way or another this film will be made even if it kills me! (bit dramatic but meh.)
I have been advised to get in touch with someone with knowledge of copyright and film law to address this and I consider it an absolute certainty that I will have to approach Disney/Marvel with my plans for the idea. it could get complicated but I am sure I can overcome any issues plus you never know it might actually open up some opportunity for me! just gotta keep moving forward as always.
Peace.
P.S casting call is slightly delayed while I tweak the adverts but It will be up soon.
Thanks for reading.

BIG Update.
Right okay here is the big update I promised you guys.
this is proving a bit difficult to get into words actually. Remind me to stop neglecting the blog.
Okay so first thing. after 3 major revisions the script is now in a place where we have a filmable story!
This is good indeed as now we can arrange things like casting calls and begin planning how the film will look including locations shot plans storyboards and more representative Visual Effects!
so thats grand if any of you are my script reviewers then please as always have a look and give me some feedback!
I also have cemented a client using reddit.com and the subreddit community R/Marvel I have managed to get some good respons and with a little refining of how exactly the updating and feedback process will work have a very real and very usable client.
you can check out the first few update posts Here:
First Post: http://www.reddit.com/r/Marvel/comments/1393n4/i_need_you_rmarvelgambit_fan_film/
Second post: http://www.reddit.com/r/Marvel/comments/13m9mr/re_gambit_origins_fan_film_update_221112_brief_is/
Third post: http://www.reddit.com/r/Marvel/comments/13m9mr/re_gambit_origins_fan_film_update_221112_brief_is/
so that is another vital prerequisite of the project covered.
I have also had a meeting with Craig Mckenna my guardian angel/producer and we have established very rough schedules for shooting as well as confirming that a casting call is going to be going out on monday 26/11/12 I am very excited for this and seeing the kind of acting talent that scotland has to offer.
an update on the VFX as well my rushes from the VFX are now in very capable hands to see what kind of polished awesome effect we can achieve I am very excited for this as well and its the final thing that needs to be done before we start planning our shots (we need to take the VFX technique into consideration when planning the shoot.) so that is also awesome
Finally I also issued a brief for the client/s to discuss and agree upon another vital part of the project that makes the unusual client choice a possibility. Feel free to view it here but bear in mind its still in a rough format.

In short there is a whole lot of awesome going on and I have probably missed a couple of things but Im sure i will update you once they are available.
also possibly doing an interview thing with a friend of mine RE the film so thats another little nugget of awesome for you!
yeah awesome all round!
Peace.

An apology and a promise.
Wow so its been a while since I did an update.
First off let me apologize for that.
However there have been some VERY major developments regarding the film.
I have a proposal presentation to give tommorow so once thats out of the way expect an entire essay to read regarding recent developments and progress reports.
Once again my apologies but please stay tuned for the updates.
Peace.

So belladonna is not bipolar anymore.
Did a bit of scripting and completely rewrote most of the first half getting rid of some of the unnescesary plot elements and removing some unnesential characters.
Its looking good but I am still having some difficulty with the "Mentor" scene trying to design a character from scratch or find one in gambits lore. It is an important scene in teh movie and once I have a basis I should be able to write it very easily. I have ideas for a character in mind but getting the exposition to explain them is a little difficult. All going well though. and if anyone is aware of a character in gambits storylines who would fit the bill could let me know that would be awesome I will also be getting in touch with some of the researchers gail has mentioned to see If I cant get started on that. With the script the way it is though I think we are almost at the point of arranging a casting call but I will be speaking to my producer to discuss the next steps.
P.S if you are one of my script Reviewers please have a look and tell me what you think of the changes. I dont thnk /belladonna appears as Bi polar anymore but would like some input.
all is looking good
Peace

Update 06/11/12
Hey guys just giving a quick update.
So I gave my pitch to Fraser Carol and Gail on monday.
It went very well with good suggestions from them as well as some of the other class.
It also got interest from some other crew members im now happy to add Mark Gavan to the crew list on assistant sound.and Charlene Sives as a make up supervisor.
these 2 roles bring us even closer to the full crew we need and the project is getting closer and closer to production stages.
Exciting time indeed the script still needs some work and im going to do what I can but in the coming 2 weeks I have an electronic news gathering assessment as well as an induction week for my year long work experience.
In all its an exciting year all round and I am as enthusiastic as ever.
Peace
