MAGIC ontopa MAGIC!!!

Hey Guys!!

       we officially SCORED our film -...... and......it was  UNBELIEVEABLE -

Total awe and Total DREAM stuff for our long long journey in the making of this film.....

This score Knocked the socks off everyone on the stage and just about everyone in the entire city of Burbank...POWERFULL.

Big Props to composer Robert Litton on scoring our 2nd film as a TEAM

.....and
Delivering well beyond our expectations - HUGE piece of Magic.....

here is the scoop-

Monday after a family lunch with my sister and Nephew who were in town for the show....
we headed off to Warner Bro's

And then to our Fancy pants -Parking space!!

Walking into the scoring stage is quite an amazing feeling - just knowing all the amazing films that have recorded there....and the HUGE GRAND SCALE of it all....




From the cool Factor of being on the back lot to the Fact that our Film was getting the FULL Hollywood treatment. Geek filled Goosebumps all over the place.

On Gerald we spent most of the time in the booth but this time the stage is so HUGE that we wanted to be in the mix and we all camped out on the chairs and couches in the main stage.

as the musicians started showing I really had no idea how many of them there would be?
I started seeing every awesome instrument arrive that you can Imagine

.....a pretty HUGE jump from Robert sitting at the piano playing the themes for us.

as the clock ticked and everyone was in place the ....SCOREing began with a BOOM.....
The ENDING  First.....

IT was so hard to not scream out a Hillbilly wooot -every time we heard a piece finished.....

WOW......it was goosebumps on goosebumps...

This is how i felt.....

This is how our composer felt -EXHAUSTED - ha....

I can not describe to you how insanely POWERFULL the experience was. It really was MAGIC on top of MAGIC......I actually thought we were nearing the ceiling of the films quality but we just smashed through it....

I cant imagine what Sound design is going to bring to the Film???? Exciting!!!

Our Film took a HUGE JUMP in quality.....and thanks to so many of our supporters that happened- THANKS YOU ALL Soooooo FREAKIN much!!!!!!!I cant wait to share it with you all!!!!

More magic to come!!!

WHAT A RIDE......Whats Next?

....Hey Guys!!!

....What a ride.......

.......The campaign has come to an end.......and it was a HUGE success....THANK YOU ALL who supported us.....we really were so moved by the whole thing.

.......We had no idea how much work a campaign could be..............It really  is a full time job...............And VERY emotionally Taxing!!

.......But man............We Learned sooo much as to how this kickstarter stuff works...and how much social media plays a role in a successful campaign.

from our first thoughts of starting a campaign after the dumping......to just 2 weeks later..

...we were launched  - Pitch created  -Rewards set - and our page was open for biz.

The 30 days of the campaign were full of anxiety and excitement........but we raised the complete funds for our MUSIC - and SFX - post costs.....

....The music was the very most important thing to us and such a relief to accomplish.

....We did not quite meet the 3D Goal but we were advised to keep collecting private donations on PAYPAL....untill we reach our GOAL and can make it happen.

....We will open this on our blog very soon.....and it will be the very last chance for folks to pick up the Dogonauts film on video before it hits the festival circuit.....which will take it off the shelf for at least a year.

....so

....this weekend was the first moment me and shel have had to reflect in months...

....Its been and still will be - nonstop work-scheduleing and organization to get us through this current phase and then onto the next.....music /post and beyond..

....We were able to lay down on the trampoline together for a moment and talk about the amount of amazing that has been going on ......deep breath.....take it in....

....its all incredible guys.....

....We are constantly bouncing between the feelings of -DEEP Excitement.....-Pure Inspiration -AWE - Exhaustion - Thrilling Anticipation - and JOY.

....We just need more time to feel each and every one of those things.......since we are moving  fast......the reflection from one to the next happens way too quick.

....Our Next BIG steps were to Hire a Composer-

....Composer -Robert Litton -DONE

....HIRE our SFX Designer -

....SFX Designer - Chuck Russom - DONE

....Schedule our Recording session -

....DONE- WARNER BRO'S - June 10 th.....

....and then count the days on our Tippy Toes....

    ....1 week and 1 day........till we have music.
