Mother's House Update

I didn’t make an update post of Mother’s House in a while. They posted three more videos on their YouTube Channel. They managed to fund their kickstarter project with the help of all the backers and there Ingrid Price wrote a little outlook.

Hello, Kickstarters!
So, is the movie done yet?
Not quite. Here's a status update: Malcolm is working on the score, weaving mandolin, clarinet, and piano into a lovely river of sound. Jason is doing color correction, an amazing digital process that enhances Roger's already beautiful cinematography. Not only that, but we've talked him into doing titles as well! And Greg is busy selecting and syncing audio tracks for a rich, multilayered sound edit.
Davis and Ingrid are setting up their Withoutabox account so we'll be ready for festival submissions as soon as we've completed post production. We're also exploring venues for invited screenings, playing with the poster design, and assembling the press kit. All of our fabulous post crew are working on "Mother's House" in addition to their other freelance jobs, so it does take a bit of extra time.
It's a bit like Thanksgiving dinner... we can sure smell that turkey roasting, but it'll be another hour before it hits the table!
I'll leave you with this great shot of Tim, captured by Colleen as he waits...
and waits...
and waits...
for the next set-up.

When you had been a backer let Ingrid set your name on the backers list. She also will link you to your own web page.

And here the new making of videos. Kathryn is visible in Give the Director the Finger: Day 4 of Mother's House for 5 seconds around 1:36. I wasn't sure but her wonderful voice and the slomo confirmed my suspicion.



Mother's House vs. Mother Nature: The Sights and Sounds of Day 5 and Day 6



[Mother's House is a short film starring Tim Guinee and Katherine Erbe. Tim plays as Thomas Ross, a loving husband who recently lost his mother as she passed away. Both he and his wife, Catherine (Erbe), go to his mother's house to dispose of her estate. That's when they discover the secret of mother's house. For nine days, the crew worked day in and day out to make this possible. Now, the crew has to battle mother nature as they face scorching heat and unforgiving rain.]

Give the Director the Finger: Day 4 of Mother's House



[With production getting closer to the halfway point, the crew travel through parts of Rosendale as they shoot one the beginning scenes for the movie, which happens to involve someone giving the director the finger. Also, one of our crew members explains to us how it is in the industry when it comes to gripping.]

A Slice of Fried Gold: The Sights and Sounds from Day 1 of Mother's House



[Witness the sights and sounds of the crew as they work together on the set of Mother's House. This is day one, where everyone gets a feel for each other and adjust to the pace of the project as a lot has to be done. Because of that, the video may seem short, but the next video will have more of the candid moments on the set.]
