Week Two of G.H.O.S.T. In The Can!

I’m quickly running out of superlatives to describe our adventures on the set of G.H.O.S.T.. What can I say? We have an amazing found location with the opera house, we have a talented cast, and a dedicated crew. Everything is going nice and smooth. We had a few crew members forced to withdraw from this weekend’s shoot due to illness – but you were all there in spirit. We hope you recover fast because we need you right back on set next week! Those that were in attendance had a blast as we filmed several key sequences in the film including the creepy caretaker Maximilian’s warning speech as he tries to scare the G.H.O.S.T. team away from the haunted opera house. It wouldn’t be a haunted house movie without a crazy guy trying to scare everyone. Things are proceeding according to plan. There’s still a ton of pre-production, prop work, and designs to be completed before this coming weekend’s shoot – so catch your nap and get ready, G.H.O.S.T. is running ahead at full speed. Thank you all for your hard work. We’ll see you on Saturday!

Lighting The Way For Another G.H.O.S.T.LY Saturday.

The producers at Mutantville Productions descended upon the historic opera house in downtown Albermarle again last night for another round of light tests and shot preparations.  We spent several hours dressing the various sets for use in this Saturday’s shoot.  We are up against a very tight shooting schedule this Saturday which will see us literally racing against the sun – but we are confident that the hours of preparation will pay off.  Our tests went off without a hitch and no one was possessed by otherworldly spirits or disappeared after dark – but one can hope.  Seriously, if we disappear in the opera house – can you imagine how much publicity we could generate in the media?  Just kidding.  We can’t let anyone disappear until all of our shots are in the can.  We’re looking forward to seeing our amazing cast and crew again this Saturday.  Stay tuned to Mutantville.com for more up to the minute MVP news!

First Day of Shooting G.H.O.S.T. In The Can!

Thank you all for an amazing night of filming last night.  Thanks for making the trip to the opera house to join us.  The opera house was a majestic location and the Mutantville Players couldn’t help but work their magic there.  Sorry that we had to run long – but you were all real troopers.  You were all great.  I couldn’t be happier with the footage.  Get some rest – I can’t wait to see you all again next week!!!

Lights, Camera, HORROR!!! MVP Set For G.H.O.S.T.

The producers at Mutantville Productions were out in full force last night as we decended upon the historic opera house in downtown Albemarle.  We spent a full six hours on the set testing the lights for this weekend’s scenes, shooting behind the scenes videos, as well as continuing our construction of MVP’S How-To seris on no-budget filmmaking – the Guerrilla Filmmaker’s Cookbook.  We’ve just about run ourselves ragged through pre-production – and filming hasn’t even begun!  That’s OK because the harder we prepare – the easier it is for everyone when we’re all on the set.  All that’s left now is to put the finishing touches on the costumes and props and email the directions to everyone.  We’ll see you all soon, MVP.

MVP Gearing Up For Weekend Shoot!

The producers at Mutantville Productions are running in the red as we continue preparations for the production of G.H.O.S.T.  This past weekend, our lead actors Kathy Sandvoss and Scott Thomas met with head costumer Luis Machicao of the world famous Machicao couture designs for a session of measurements and fittings for their costumes.  Scott also experienced the joys of casting – and we’re not talking about auditions – we mean alginate, plaster and all that other make-up FX stuff.  Unfortunately, we weren’t able to get the life cast that we needed – but we’ll find a way around it.  The minds at MVP are plotting our next move now.

We’re working hard pinning down the final location for this weekend’s shoot as well as stocking up on whatever props and costumes that we need.  There’s no rest for the wicked nor a guerrilla filmmaker – but we wouldn’t have it any other way.  Next stop – the opera house.  G.H.O.S.T.  starts filming this weekend!
