Project IRIS Still on Track!

Hey guys,

I’m back with a somewhat quick update! I know there has been a lot of silence around Project IRIS for some time now and we have a perfectly good reason.

As some of you may know, we were mostly using borrowed equipment and our main resource was the school. Unfortunately an incident involving another student at our school, forced our Video teacher to hold all the equipment. This halted our ability to shoot anything for quite some time. We had to give back all of our equipment we were using. However, I recently got a new HD camcorder myself which will be used to shoot the movie on. It might look really consumer-y but it’s a real workhorse when it comes to HD shooting.

The time off we had when the equipment was taken away, made me rethink the script. Since I will be moving abroad in August, this gives us even less time to finish this movie. That’s why we are releasing the movie in a different yet more exciting way. That’s still IRIS Studios’ secret so hold on to your potatoes for that one! The length of the short has been pulled back to 5-10 minutes and will be released in October. The filming will be done in July and post-production will start in September. We are planning an online release only. Theatrical is all up to Alessandro since I won’t be in the US by then.

Currently I’m working on some visual assets that will be used at the time of shooting. The final script is close to being done and the camera stabilizer needs some fine tuning. We got some work ahead of us, but this movie will be shot!
