The purpose of this blog entry is to have a regularly schedule article regarding the status of the film. Where we currently stand in terms of completion, how post-production is moving along, etc. This is a way for all readers to be kept up-to-date on the current state of the film. That being said!:
Editing wise: As of now, 70% of the overall film is edited. The first 20 minutes of the film are locked editorial wise and visual effect wise. As the current rate, we may have a complete assembly cut by the Spring. This cut, however, will not have all completed visual effect shots. By Spring, the first 60-70 minutes may be locked but that is currently in the air.
Visual Effects: Editing is a cake walk compared to visual effects which are the primary reason why the film won’t be completed for a few months. We currently have 65% of all visual effects done on the film. This has mainly been compositing effects and 3D animations. More complex work begins next month and will be worked on for the following 4-6 months. This work will be mainly for the finale which is quite complex but in the end, should be a visual feast for the eyes! It’s a given the whole film will have an assembly cut before all the effects are done.
The current goal sent for the film’s completion is the last week of June. Now, let me repeat. This is the current goal. As of now, there is no release date locked nor will there be one until the film is completed enough to allow a projected release date is plausible. In other word, the the film is about 99% completed and little to no work is necessary. We are hoping the film can be premiered, screened, and released by the second week of July. We are also hoping to do a screening of the finished product at the Screw Attack Gaming Convention in Dallas the first weekend of July. Now, this all serves as motivation. Something to use as a mean to make sure we stay focus and continue to work full force on the completion of the film. When working on an independent film with no official release date, you can enjoy the completion process leisurely but may also fall victim to pushing back the completion of the film and announcing delays based on said leisure. I do not want this so I need to use this opportunity as a means of getting the film out sooner rather than later. Am I saying the release is set for July? No. No release date is official nor am I making a false promise. I am, however, letting you guys know our current goal and game plan. As we move on, we will continue to fill you guys in on the post-production process.
As for or the article in which a selected actor from “Megaman” will share their experience working on the film, we are currently awaiting said article to be sent it and should be posted within the next 4 days. When posted, I will also post an update on what more content and articles will be possible in the coming weeks.
Thanks everybody for the support and have a great one!

Auditions were held January 19th, 2008. Leading into this audition, I received hundreds of e-mails from actors interested in auditioning and being involved. From all these submissions, based on appearance and experience, I narrowed it down to the roster of those that ended up attending.
