Production Update, 02/10/2010
Cast:
Call-back auditions were held Monday, February 1.
These auditions will help to determine which actors
will fill one remaining lead role and two remaining
supporting roles, they serve as follow-up to the
initial auditions held the previous week, enabling
Director Jesse Daniel to narrow his options and
make the best possible casting decision about key
roles in the upcoming film. So far, the production
has formally hired eight actors and is in the
process of choosing two more.
Crew:
The production team of “The Quartermaster” is
expanding rapidly as students and faculty across
the JBU campus begin to gain interest in the
project. In the first week of February alone the
production has hired three Russian translators,
two production photographers, two camera operators
and a graphic designer. Some positions that still
need to be filled include Editors, Production Assistants,
Gaffers, Sound Technicians and additional volunteers
for a PR team.
Equipment:
“The Quartermaster” will be the first COAST film to
be shot entirely on digital SLR cameras. Using
this cutting-edge technology, in combination with
the innovative Redrock Micro System (provided by
the Digital Media Department at JBU), the
filmmakers will be able to shoot in the very best
high-definition video, with all the advantages of a
flexible, handheld camera system.
Schedule:
In order to make the most of the available time
frame, the producers of “The Quartermaster” are
fast-tracking the production schedule, and plan to
begin principle photography on 02/11/2010.
Although production is already well underway,
additional help is still welcomed.
