There’s a lot going on here at Filmkid LLC. We’ve wrapped the shoot for the Man vs. Self stuff. We’re working out a distribution deal for Die Trying, and lastly we are changing web hosting providers.

We should start editing the MvS footage within the next few days, but I’ve been saying that for about 3 weeks, so we’ll see.

The distribution deal is still in the works so no details yet.

And the web host move should go largely unnoticed if all goes well. Another added bonus is the arrival of Glentickle.com because I’ve always felt that there just aren’t enough websites devoted to me.

Finally at Dieck’s place reviewing footage for Man vs. Self. Everything looks great and the performances are great. Expect greatness.

Above should be a box where you can leave me a voicemail via Google Voice.

Enjoy.

Taking a quick break during lunch to just give you all a heads up that everything is going pretty well so far today. Got started a little later than we’d hoped, but it’s a light day so we should still be able to wrap it up before dark. Much unlike the 3am finish from last night.

Of course since it rained all day once it stopped we decided to shoot a scene with rain and faked it with a hose. Came out looking awesome though.

Eating lunch and trying to figure out what to do about the fucking rain.

Exterior shots got cut short right after a great take. Good note to go out on, but I’m not too thrilled about going out on any note. Now to interiors and hoping the thunder doesn’t fuck our sound.

Here we are on the set of Man vs. Self. We’re prepping for our first shot as the cast and rest of the crew arrive. My last bit of pre-production for the day was to pick up the stuffed animal we’ll be using as our time travel test subject… and porn. There was a small rewrite in a scene that now includes a copy of Penthouse as a prop. I haven’t actually purchased a porno mag since I turned 18 and even then I only did it out of the novelty of finally being able to buy one (and because I wanted to see naked ladies) and evidently in the last 8 years tangible porn has become harder to find. Back in 2001 they had porn mags at practically every gas station and rest stop you could think of, but this morning I had to go NINE different places to find one. I wanted Playboy as it’s at least a decent magazine, but couldn’t find it. Instead we ended up with the 40th anniversary issue of Penthouse for a surprising $12. But it did come with a bonus DVD that might be given away as a prize at some point.

So there you have it. My morning has consisted of finding porn while I work on today’s shot list. Expect more updates throughout the weekend.

A bulk of those updates are likely to appear on Twitter, so if you don’t follow us there then you should start.

This week we will be switching Filmkid.com over to a new hosting providing thanks to a tip from a Twitter pal of mine (Note: Follow Filmkid on Twitter) While we expect the process to painless and go largely unnoticed by anyone we decided it best to at least let you know it was coming in the event that you check the site and can’t find an snarky remarks to read.

In the meantime, here are some pictures of the time machine we built and mentioned but never posted on here.
