Wingmen Incorporated: Making Progress!

Dear Whomever Is Bored Enough To Read This,

On Saturday night I received a rough copy of Wingmen Incorporated from my partner Ken Gayton. He recently moved to LA and has been busy putting together a rough cut of the film.  This is the first time I've seen the entire film (just a hair under 82 minutes, however, there's some credits still missing, and BUT we've trimmed a little fat here and there, so those two things might cancel each other out).

With each change that gets made I get more and more excited about how good this little $5000 (fan funded) film can be. I have never been this optimistic about any of my film projects.  People are going to love this movie.  I can just feel it.

We've started selecting some music to go in the film. There's going to be a lot of songs in this movie.  Our characters spend a lot of time in local bars, so there's many scenes that will need music playing in the background.  Plus, since it's a movie, there will be places that need scored.

Here's a couple pieces of music that we've already agreed on...

"The Best Product On The Market" - Chris Hodges - Very upbeat instrumental.  I really liked this instrumental.  Pitched it to Ken, but couldn't think of a place for it.  Ken found the perfect place.  But I can't tell you. =)  (if you clicked the link play the "full length version".)

"Up and Go" - Tempero - This one is more rockin'.  Pitched it to Ken, thought it would be good for the DVD main menu.  He also found a spot for it in the film that I think fits perfectly.  (I think we'll be using the "60 second version", so if you click the link, play that one)

Anyway, just wanted to give you all a taste of what we're doing.  So far we've agreed on about 5 songs. We'll probably need another dozen or so. Lots of places for music in this film.  Also been trimming some fat in some of the scenes to help the movie flow better.  It's amazing how cutting one line can completely change a scene. 

Still a lot of work to be done, but we are making some really nice progress.

We'll have a video for you soon, I was  hoping to have it today for you, but it didn't happen.  Should have it on New Year's.  I promise it's worth the wait! It's an actual edited clip from the film (not bloopers or outtakes like we've been posting) I was practically in tears the first time I saw it from laughing so much.  Can't wait to show it to you all!

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to all!
