We had the cast and crew screening of “The Room at the Top of the Stairs” at the Peacock Theatre in Salamanca on Friday night.

Highlights from the night include:

• The Red wine mysteriously “hiding” under the bar (no points for guessing who eventually sniffed it out - yeah it was me!),
• Briony thanking everyone in the universe (and Adam forgetting to thank anyone),
• My unintentional stand-up comedy debut (…but hey, remember if you need a crowd pleaser - I now have a booking agent),
• Our leading lady (Fiannah) looking like the glamourous star that she is destined to be,
• Kate (who of course was glamourous too!) coming in costume - well at least the dreaded shoes…
• “LIVE” film trailer narration and music demonstration by Aldrich and TheMaster (me),
• Very little memory of the proceedings from about 2am onwards…

To all those involved in the film that weren’t able to make it on the night - thanks for your awesome help making this great film happen, and we are all looking forward to working with you again.

Sorry no pics from the night, but for nostalgia sake here is a shot from the shoot of James trying (and failing) to play “The Producer” to Briony.

So this is a short (but hopefully helpful … because who doesn’t make stereoscopic films on a daily basis) discussion of a couple of technical consideration with stereoscopic (3D) footage.

There has been some talk around the office of a possible project that consist of two strong mediums: Animation and Live-action. A combination that’s become a trend in most movies. Now, imagine AWF (with our paranormal creativity) making a project that relies heavily on that combination. Well, you get a Cloverfield……in Hobart. But this isn’t going to be anything like that movie, instead you might get things like an dragons, giant squids, giant crab attacks or even giant transforming isobar building that turns into a Mech!!!! Bet your curious now huh?
