Ship Casting Call

Casting Call, Casting Call... for original space ships great and small, If you feel your spaceship is suitable for our flick, all you have to do is post us a pic, we'll review your work and if we like it we'll put it in our short movie.

Basically we are modeling all the hero ships and sets, but one of the opening scenes calls for a large amount of private vessels that are arriving that the space station, they will only be seen from a distance, except for a special few that may receive a close up shot.
Any submissions will have to be delivered in a Maya compatible format like, .OBJ, .FBX, .MA or .MB formats.

We cant/wont use any ships like, Battlestar Galactica, Viper fighter ships, Cylon fighters or Baseships, Star Trek, Babylon 5, Andromedia, Firefly ships or any ship that's been seen on TV/film already, original means original. ;)

To make a submission just email us at Barrier Email, please include the 3D artists full name for the credit, a maximum of three jpeg pictures of the ship... if we want to use it we'll contact you.

In exchange for using your ship in the short, you'll receive a credit on the short movie, and a free download link of the final movie in either a 1280x720 resolution or 640x360 resolution.

We're Looking forward to seeing your work.

POST Topics

Hello good folks,

If there is any other Barrier topics you would like to hear about, please let us know and we can include them in the thrice weekly blog posts.

All the best.

Shoot date

The production shoot date has been set for mid September, so it's all planning and organising now.

On another note, pre-production is proceeding smoothly, and the 3d modeling is coming along.

Also the website rebuild is nearly finished, just a pages left to right, but they will be released after the film shoot... so everything is on target.

The Last of a Line

The last of a line of concept art has come through from Sunny Koda. The guy is freaking me out I tell ya, not for anything weird, nor for his love of all things Transformers, but he seems so in tuned with my sense of style that nearly every ship design he's submitted, I want in the show.

Way to go man!!

The latest, and the last of the racer ships in the short movie is being affectionately dubbed "The Beast" it has a certain aggressive styling that we like.

Final Draft

Well, not actually being the final draft as such, the script is in and it's good, The director will undoubtedly conform the script to fit his style and vision, which is as it should be.

Now we just need the hero cockpit design locked down and we can get a quote on getting it built for the shoot.

Inspiration and Determination

One of the things I have marveled allot at over the years while developing and promoting Barrier, is the number of "negative Nancie's" you meet along the way.

OK maybe not that many, considering the amount of positive folks we have had the pleasure of meeting.

Over all I try not to take to much notice of the negs. But if you hadn't meet any in your life yet, they are the friendly doomsayers that try and save you sometime by telling how hard or impossible it is to get an idea off the ground, Now I am not trying to gloss it over, doing something like Barrier is really hard, but ya know... where's the harm in trying?

I tell you though, making the decision to try and actually do something with Barrier has been the best decision ever.

Along the way I have meet, and worked with some truly fantastic people, been in touch with some greats, and learnt so much about the industry, that even if Barrier is never produced into a series, I can't help but feel like I have won.

The next step is to really hammer Barrier home, and do something that will get it noticed, hence the live action short movie.

Sure I have lots of other projects I want to develop, and some of them I am, but I have to say without a doubt that Barrier has legs, I am firm believer in that.

Anyway, keep posted, lots of cool stuff coming soon.

- New Website
- Behind the scenes featurette
- Cast announcements and Interviews
- Shameless promotions, etc... ;)


All the very best,

Studio Checked Out

The studio was great, very special thanks to Mr Graham Slater for his time today and allowing us to use his studio for our production.
www.interactivemartialarts.com
The premisis is very well set up for our needs, and should be an excellent venue for our production.

Terry was all go filming recy shots of the studios, like a director in a candy store. :)
Great space for setups and acting, I would love to get in here for my martial arts movie next year.

Studio

We're off to check out a Studio space in Preston today, it's through a mate of Morgan and Terry's. I'm going in with my trusty SLR stills camera to take pics.

On another note I am on the lookout for an inexpensive DV Camera so I can run around shooting Doco oriented footage to put up on the site.

Role: James Ngaio

We are proud to anounce that all our major roles in the short movie are Cast, We'll make an official anouncement inside the next week or so, and introduce you to the talented cast and crew that we have assembled... Check back soon.

Thank you.
