After four days of hard work, the Production House has been cleaned up and Brian and I are once again on the nomadic homeless route until we find a place in Stuart to edit from.

Right now, my top priority is putting together a teaser for the film – not only will it help us finish funding the production, but it’ll give you all an idea of what “Natalie, Queen of Scots” actually looks like.  For now, take a gander at an early matte and composite test Brian put together for the alligator with the kids — looks pretty nifty.

Now that we’re in the post-production stage, Brian and I have a lot more time to answer questions and talk about the process, so please feel free to comment or ask questions! I’ve pretty much given up on sleeping, myself – we have a film to edit!

Came before we knew it, but suddenly a bunch of us were in Harborage Yacht Club and Marina celebrating the wrap on Natalie, Queen of Scots, our very own freaking feature film.

It was a pretty unbelievable day.

The video above was our “congrats on five weeks of hardcore filming” present to the crew — I edited together some of our footage and photos, and it’s a cute little video, I think.
