The crew will be meeting up at Rowes' studios on 061016. We are 10 months into this project and all have lots to discuss and share. We have been extremely busy working through all the pre production jobs. 

The script is being polished. Neil has been busy researching and buying the camera equipment and accessories. The postman has been kept busy! 

Neil has also been busy with creating some cgi monsters/spaceships and robots prototypes for this latest sci fi epic! I can report they are looking great and there is not a robot dog in sight!! The designs are very different. 

Amanda has been slogging away at the costumes/outfits. It has been tough.

Amanda, the composer is also due to dust off the midi system once again to get stuck in to laying some sounds for a test piece Neil has put together. 

Location scouting is still ongoing. It has not been so smooth this time round but we are persevering. One of the trickiest locations to find is a pub although one of the nicest jobs on the pre production list to do! So we are not complaining!

Casting for the lead character Zoe is going well. Amanda Has watched all the showreels and has whittled the actors down to a short list which will be discussed at the meeting on Thursday. There are lots of great actresses to pick from. The next step will  be to send the script out for round 2!
