Main delays? Scheduling and Weather. Neither of which you can control. Especially when the holidays come round. People have holiday plans and the cold weather loves to wreak havoc on your plans.
It happens every year round this time, and I totally expected it, and even somewhat planned for it. But it's still somewhat frustrating.
I'm halfway through editing the footage we have. The only footage left to shoot are some of the dialogue scenes and the majority of Werewolf shots. We've already had two different days with the Werewolf and both of those days were really more like test shots, and just trying to fix the Werewolf costume.
So what's the plan? Actually I've blogged about this before on my blog.
Check out the full plan on the post titled:

But to sum up here's the short list of the plan:
1) Finish REDD Short Film
2) Garner as many views and positive reviews and fest submissions as possible.
3) Use short to really push getting the full length feature made.
4) Raise the money
5) Shoot the feature
6) Market and Distribute feature in the Fall of 2011
But first I have to fix the damn Werewolf eyes.They're supposed to be glowing Redd and the red LED's need to be brighter.
Hopefully we'll be able to knock out the rest of the Werewolf footage this coming Monday. Wish us luck.
