I would like to thank my friends and family for their support and help over the holidays as I work on this project. (Specifically Jordan Howell, Brianna Maerz, Roberta & Bob Arbuckle, my mom and dad, Mike Booth, Jeff Brown, Dave Frend, and my brother Taylor Frend)
Patent: The work towards filing this patent is underway with layout revised and description typed for specifications. I will be filing this patent soon through Barnes & Thornberg of Indianapolis.
Capsule: I have received capital over the holidays and paneling has been secured to cover the capsule housing. Stained wood trim has also been secured to give the PAE more of a professional look. Jeff Brown and I are working the weekend of 21JAN2007 on PICmicro programming and fitting on the solenoids.
Film: Filming is scheduled to start 12MAY2007 and end 26AUG2007. Preproduction is in forward motion with the script revised and 62 storyboards done (40% of movie). Story boards will be put into animatic with adobe premiere pro with rough audio. Casting is a looming question and the prop/costume and location list is being written.
Film Technology: A standard digital audio cluster is being constructed from a CORE workstation and Behringer 12channel mixer for mic level collaboration and will be synced later with stereo video. Yes the ENTIRE film will be in Stereoscopic video. I have started my independent study developing my skills in stereoscopic video under Professor Albert William of IUPUI's School of Informatics. I find the history of stereoscopic very interesting because it was booming in the mid to late 1800s and with the advent of television and motion pictures stereo has lost its zeal. With the exception to brief patches of popularity in the 50s and 60s stereo video has been lost to the mainstream audiences. Below is a timeline of stereo video in its glory days.
