Update: 10/30/09!

Hey everyone =]

Casting is gearing up and should consume most of the month, along with equipment rentals and location scouting. As of now, about 30 people are lined up for the lead role, and a few of the smaller supporting roles are being filled slowly but surely.

As of right now, we’re pretty sure we’ve settled on the Canon 5D Mark II as the camera we’ll be using. In case you’re wondering, the Canon 5D is a still image camera. However, it happens to shoot gorgeous 1080p footage, with the only downside being it records at 30fps. Not a problem, though; we’ve gone through test footage and we are happy with it’s attributes. We’re also going to consider a 30-to-24 pulldown in post (if we like how it looks).

We’re really excited to be shooting on the Canon Mark II because it’s simply something different from what everyone else is shooting on, and it looks phenomenal.

All the best, and more soon,

-Chris & the Crew
