5/31/2006 - Principle Photography Complete (Amy)
Ok so it's been a ........while since i've made an update here. Sorry! but we've been really busy. We just finished
Principle Photography for "Sweep" and things went incredibly well. We still have a couple of secondary shots and a pickup or
two to get, but we have almost got this thing shot (and it only took about 15 shoot days - i'm guessing). I would personally
like say "Thank You!!" to everyone who helped or donated along the way. The crew especially. They gave up weekend after weekend
and worked into the wee hours on more than one, ok most shot days. You guys kicked ass! and did a much better job than I could
have expected. We are now headed into post-production and Celia has already got about 15 minutes of the footage cut together. Brian
and Scott will soon get to work pullng together the music and I have started a couple of CGI builds for some little effects.
Hopefully we'll have a trailer up in a month or so and I should have a new gallery of behind the scenes shots posted soon.
1/17/2006 - Positions (Amy)
It's been a relatively productive couple of weeks. We've plastered flyers around Raleigh and Chapel Hill as well as posting
casting calls to indie sites. We've done some inventory and housekeeping. Ceelies also finished shooting some technical tests
we've been trying to get to. Jens gotten some sewing done and i've gotten a handful of storyboards finished.
We've also picked up a new crew member. Martial Arts Instructor Robert Broom has agreed to choreograph our fight scene. I'm
pretty thoroughly jazzed about that. He's good. We also have two other positions we're talking to people about and we're
hopeful that it will work out. We're starting to get the right people in the right jobs.
Things are starting to get rolling. If you are interested in helping out please drop us an email.
As always thanks to everyone who has helped out. If you haven't jumped on board yet then come on we've got shit to do.
1/8/2006 - General Info (Amy)
We've done a final read through of the script and locked it down (as much as it can be).
We've gotten our blue screen tests done and may have some demo clips up soon (just for fun). We've posted the casting/crew
call out to a couple of sites and are getting ready for auditions. If you are interested send us an email. We are looking
for people of all experience levels.
Prettied up the "Sweep" site and we're trying to get as much information
up as we can. In the next month we should be slowly filling in all the information
holes. Happy Holidays!

12/11/2005 - Script Revisions Complete (Amy)
Ok so a script is probably never completely finished but we've gotten "Sweep"
in working condition. Thanks to Jen the story moves a lot more gracefully now.
11/24/2005 - Pre-Production (Amy)
Some minor script additions are being added right now to help flesh out the
two main characters and hopefully create more sympathy for Laura and more power
for Lisa. The group has also been discussing where and when to hold auditions. We
have some ideas but are open to suggestions so if you have experience with holding
auditions please fee free to write us. Otherwise we are going to continue to plan through
December and hopefull in early January we will be ready to start adding new members to the team.
