Its taking me longer than I'd like, what with life getting in the way and all that....but I should be doing some model shooting this winter for some of the DVD menu's and special features. Then I'll have another small block of model shooting next fall season when pumpkins are available for sale as I'll need one for several of my shots (I didn't get the model bought and built in time for this year...so that adds a significant delay onto the project). Currently I'm finishing off the replica of the book used in the intro to the film....then when thats done I can allocate money towards the purchase of all the model supplies to build some of the miniature sets I want to make.
So overall I have a whole year to work on the film itself. I have all the frames pulled from the film....just have to figure out how to animate all the changes I want to make....some of it can be done frame by frame....others may be more difficult at which point I'll probably be reaching out for some assistance
