All About Bad Girl

2011-02-28T19:59:00.001-08:00

So, production has closed on Bad Girl...and post production is nearing the end. We had a great cast and an awesome supporting crew. One of the quickest productions I have ever accomplished, but it felt great. Anyway, below is a link to a teaser for Bad Girl: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnsjThMc2KY

"The Neverending Story"

2011-01-11T07:56:00.000-08:00

CROCKDALE (aka. the Little Engine that Could) is finally back on track with a new sound designer/mixer: Nicole Hankerson. Nicole jumped right in, as soon as she received all the files, and is doing a great job so far. So, as you can see, things seemed to stall again for our little film. But, I am confident that we are back on track...with no dynamite ahead. *knocks on wood*

So, thank you for being so patient (I sure hope death threats don't start hitting my mailbox). The people that have stuck around as fans have been supportive and awesome...and even the new fans totally rock. Just keep doing what you're doing, and we'll work hard to get this film all up in your face. Thanks!

Creating a BAD GIRL

2011-01-02T05:51:00.000-08:00

So, while CROCKDALE is being finished up, I've been polishing up old scripts, writing new ones, etc. While performing this task, I came across two old short ideas called BAD GIRL and DEEP IN THE NIGHT. At first DEEP IN THE NIGHT seemed like the one that was starting to interest me enough to start pre-production. Well, that quickly changed when I did a re-write on BAD GIRL, which pulled me into the world of James and Ashby.
So, now I am a month away from production on BAD GIRL and things are running very smooth. Locations are locked in, we may have our "Bad Girl" already (but don't want to jump the gun until auditions are over), SPFX are getting designed, and I have an extremely supportive group of people in ATL helping out. Now, if we call all brave the cold to shoot this thing come February (usually the coldest month in ATL).
New year, new projects, new location...2011 should be pretty sweet year for Yellow Trigger Films.

What is Yellow Trigger Films doing?

2010-12-03T10:28:00.000-08:00

Yellow Trigger Films is finishing up Crockdale with a new sound mixer/designer, but will miss Tommy Wingo. So, we still should have Crockdale ready to roll by January next year.

As for other things, we start pre-production on a little script I wrote called, "Bad Girl" next week and filming this weekend on the Tavares Wilson feature "Exit 2". Other projects are "Deep in the Night" and "First Person Meets Third Person"...the latter being my second original feature...with a bigger budget than Crockdale (beautiful)!

Anyway, we will keep you posted on the happenings in 2011, with pics, posters and a bunch o' good stuff on "Bad Girl", and possibly even some "Deep in the Night" stuff.

CROCKDALE and the Official Trailer

2010-10-08T14:25:00.001-07:00

Since we are rapidly approaching the finish date for our feature film Crockdale, I wanted to take the time to release an official trailer to the masses! This feature has been through alot in two and a half years, but it is finally getting the polished look it deserves, with a little help and alot of talent. So, take some time to enjoy the offical trailer for CROCKDALE:

CROCKDALE Update

2010-09-21T07:38:00.000-07:00

Every week it seems like we get a little closer to having CROCKDALE complete. After sound design/mastering is finished on the second reel (via Tommy Wingo), our little film will be minutes away from reaching the halfway point. Coloring is complete on the first 12 minutes (as well as sound) and I'm in love with the final product...now if we can just work the same magic on the final 60+ minutes:)
Also, the official trailer for CROCKDALE is only a couple weeks away from being done, so at least everyone will have some CROCKDALE goodness to feast on in the coming weeks.
Our goal is to have CROCKDALE complete before the end of the year (most likely December), so as you can see, we're really excited! I feel that everyone else will be excited as well.

COLTRANE Music Video

2010-08-10T06:05:00.001-07:00

Day one of the Coltrane music video has been completed! Pat Campion was awesome, and is truly a great performer and individual. Now that we have the "performance" stuff "in the can", we can gear up for the short film section of the music video. Hopefully, I will have some video samples to show in the next week or so.

YTF Website is Back!

Right now, it is heavily dedicated to our feature film CROCKDALE, but we will be adding some good ol' Yellow Trigger stuff, as well.

CROCKDALE - New Poster Design

2010-07-28T12:24:00.000-07:00

So, we have added a new poster design to the mix of, already existant, CROCKDALE posters. Like?

What is happening with CROCKDALE?

2010-06-22T10:12:00.000-07:00

I have been hearing the above question alot recently, so I wanted to be able to answer it to everyone. If Crockdale was a video game, it would be on "pause". The final edit is complete (which is more or less a directors cut), but the audio and coloring still need to be "tweaked", before it's ready for consumption. I will say, however, I'm extremely proud with the final product, considering it was my freshman foray into feature filmmaking with an insanely small budget.

With that said, I'm talking with various sound mixers/designers and will hopefully have one pinned down by mid-July. Once I find out how long this will take (or basically, how bad I f'ed up the audio), I will have a better understanding when the film will be ready.

The explanation, without going into too much detail, there were financial set-backs, schedule issues, re-shoots and technical problems that have prolonged the post production process. Things that were out of our control, but we had to end up fixing. But, with a talented cast and crew, we pulled it off like champs. So, not to fear, I'm slowly pulling us out of the dark and everyone will be able to see Crockdale before 2011. With time in-between jobs, I will have another trailer, poster (to fix a problem with the old one) and a clip before we get the feature released.

Anyway, among other things, I will post more about how the Crockdale process is coming and anything else that comes my way.

Welcome!

In the next few months, you can follow me as I journey through old art, story and film material I have created over the years. I am hoping that most people will enjoy everything I have created as much as I do, and will continue to visit and find out more.
