The first person to contribute more than $500 to the production campaign will receive the original painting of mine you see here (in addition to all the other perks).
The painting is approximately 21 x 25 inches, is called "Dancer" and was finished about 6 months ago. Here's your chance to help us with the film and receive a beautiful piece of art in return. This is not a print. This is the original painting and there's only one.

After taking a long look at the trailer I decided to strip it down and tweak it a bit. I'm really happy with the result which gives a much better idea of the intended feel of the story, and so this will be the official proof of concept trailer going forward. Here is is.
Dain Turner has become the first contributor to "The Shadow Sea" fund raising effort on indiegogo (http://igg.me/p/386656). Dain officially becomes my hero! THANK YOU DAIN!
It's been a long road to this point and now we're heading into uncharted territory as we launch the fund raising campaign at indiegogo. Here's the link to the campaign page:

Please take a few minutes to visit the page and make a contribution. Check out the nifty perks that are available at the different contribution levels and remember any contribution no matter how big or small makes a difference and gets the project closer to the big screen where it belongs. When you're done if you could share the link to our campaign page we'd be forever in your debt. Thanks - Richard
Bangkok is a huge city and we went from end to end to find locations to film for the PoC trailer. The map below has a red 'x' for every location where footage was shot that wound up making the cut. While we still have location scouting to do for the film there's no doubt we're going to return to some of these locations once principal photography begins.
The full length Proof of Concept trailer is finished at last. Made solely with volunteers and whatever equipment we could get our hands on at the time the trailer is an example of what can be done with a bit of determination by a dedicated group of creative individuals. Lots of people contributed time, effort, equipment and moral support to this phase of the project. Besides our lead actor Louis Ortiz - who has been involved since day 1 - I'd like to take a moment to list them and their contributions:
Mark Daniels - equipment, time, expertise, actor
Mark Gabrielli - equipment, time, actor
Paul "Alex" Alexander - motorbike, locations, actor
Threelapond Sittikarn - driver, voice actor
Brandon Richter - actor
Tick - actor
Ploy - actor
Michelle - actor
and others who know who they are but have chosen to remain anonymous
A very special thank you to everyone! And now on with the show.
I put together this short teaser to fill the update void while I work to put the finishing touches on the full-length PoC trailer (which will be ready to go soon). A couple of shots I used here are a little rough but they work within the piece (and they won't be in the final trailer).
