Welcome to the Film Makers Club. Take a look at What's New in our
organization.
The following is a list of our most recent activities in our newly founded
club. Rest assured, anything new and exciting will happen here first,
guaranteed! Whenever we make a major decision, this will be the place to
check it out. I will try my best to keep this site clean and up to date.
Every month we'll remove the oldest items. The most recent changes are listed
first. All meetings are held at Dobson Hall 2nd Floor Classroom on Tuesday
nights at 7:30.
April 24, 2002 -- Post and Money!
 | Getting down to the wire folks. We really need as much help as
possible in order to get done. Any spare time would be well spent in the
lab. |
| We have been having the problem of missing footage recently, remember,
don't DELETE anything! If you save stuff to the hard drive, only save to
the bins that we are using. |
| FAC has granted us funds!!! We have money!!! We can buy
microphones and other fun stuff!
WEEE!!! |
| The new website is coming along nicely...you can view it at
http://filmmakers.truman.edu |
| Feedback is welcome on the new site, please e-mail the
web team! |
| There is going to be a PARTY for everyone involved in the club! It
will take place on the last day of finals, Tuesday the 14th at 608 South
5th Street, 10 pm. It's also my grad party but we will be celebrating in
style! First keg is on me! |
| The Premiere date is still Wednesday (Reading Day) the 8th at Baldwin Hall
Little Theater, 2:00 pm and 8:00 pm. I think what we will do is show the
movie, then the making of. After that we will break for a few minutes
(maybe for refreshments) then show "Thomas". |
April 15, 2002 -- El Posto Productino...(That's Post production in
Mikey-eese)
| Wow we are cooking with Post production...some of the scenes are just
looking absolutely amazing! We have much of the wedding scene, sexist
scene and final scene all edited and looking great! |
| Remember to log all of your changes in the notebook and Save everything
you do! |
| Any bits of free time that you may have, please come edit! Its quick
and easy! |
| If anybody has had a hand in any of the production of this movie...please
e-mail me your name and what you did on the film...we have to start worrying
about credits! |
| Movie Posters are out and in full color! Look for them! If you
want to hang some up, contact Mike Brinker at 665-2435! |
April 11, 2002 -- It's been a while...
| That's right, the old lazy club VP has been slacking on the website.
But we have good news! We are now officially into Post Production!
|
| Editing takes place whenever you are available to work on it! 2nd
floor media center is where all the action is...be there! |
| We need to be out of Post by the end of this month so we need to hurry
people! |
| The movie poster is officially finished and being printed out. Grab
a few from Mike or Becky to hang up around campus! Some are even in
color! |
| Our Club President is hosting a screen writing program on April 26 or 27th
at 7:30pm. Location is TBA, so call Adam Hardin for more info. If
you are interested in attending, visit the following website for the script
that Adam has chosen for the program. It is called Raising Arizona.

February 23, 2002 -- Veronica's day o fun!
| This weekends shoot went very well, we were actually able to shoot
outside! What a gorgeous turn out! A big thanks goes out to all
that participated. Everybody was crucial to getting those scenes
done! |
| We filmed part of the shooting in Nason and part of it in Dobson, then we
went outside of Nason for some more scenes. Things looked excellent
after reviewing them on the camera, especially the bedroom scenes! |
| The fight scenes looked very intense, and are actually going to come out
very well. |
| Check out the Current Film Button above for some awesome Pictures!!!
We finally have some things to show for what we have been doing. They
look great! |
| Don't forget to be at the meeting on Tuesday, we still have lots to talk
about! |

take a 150 watt bulb!!! Go to the Archive section to find a picture of
the new piece of equipment! |

You can check out the archive button to read through the old news. |
| Ahhhh more pictures I didn't even know we had...check out the archived
pics from the last movie...it rocks the house! |
February 19, 2002 -- Busy meeting, lots of news!
| Okay, first and foremost, there is going to be a movie night hosted
starting at 8:00 pm at Dave Rogers house. Everyone who needs a ride will
be meeting at 7:30 in Dobson Hall second floor classroom. This is
definitely going to be a fun night of getting to know one another a little
better and to blow off some steam before shooting this Saturday! |
| Starting at 9:00 am on Saturday the 23rd, we will meet in Dobson Hall 3rd
floor lounge for another fun filled day of movie making! All those who
are interested in doing something, please attend whenever possible....THERE
WILL BE SOMETHING TO DO, Guaranteed!!! |
| We extend a warm welcome to Zach Garwood who will be joining us in our
endeavors. Thanks Zach for coming to the meeting! Zach, along with
Karan Talwar and John Ebel will be heading up the design for the new web page.
Way to go fella's! |
| In case you hadn't heard, we are CHARTERED!!! Yes, that's right, we
are an official organization on campus now, with all the benefits! Lets
start using them to our advantage! |
| Jobs that still need attention: Movie Poster Design, teaser for the
club, movie trailer, and movie logo animation. Any ideas or concept art
can be discussed at the shoot on Saturday or at the regular Tuesday meetings! |
| The premeire for the movie will now be held May 8th. We are
hoping it will be at the Little Theater in Baldwin Hall. We are going to
show it three consecutive times, 2:30 pm, 6:30 pm and 9:30 pm. Each
showing will include our old film "Thomas" after it.

for help! |
| Shooting has been moving along nicely, lots of stuff to do. Don't
forget about our usual meetings on Tuesdays! |
| Shooting can get rough, especially when we are all cramped in a stuffy
dorm room for 8 hours at a time. Remember to be kind and tolerate each
other on those rough days on the set! |
| Sounds like we are all getting a little fried in that room, so we are
going to plan a special movie night sometime and take a break from this hectic
shooting schedule. Any ideas for a good flick that will inspire us all?
Let me know!
