Thanks for the kind words guys. We just got a few interview posted on Creative Mac.com & Pixel Surgeon.com. It answers a lot of the tech question on how we made BROKEN.

Nice job Alex!

I use the DVX100A as well...

First I wanted to congratulate you on such a great looking picture.


I really don't have any other questions that haven't been asked already, maybe just some simple ones like what was your production schedule like for prepping and principle as well.

how many crew members were you working with?


:)

Thanks for the kind words. We use 15+ crew memebers but only a few were skilled labor. Most of them were PA/Interns. They all worked hard and were fed well. That's the key, if you can't pay them, at least feed them well ; )

Very, very nice. Well done! One of the better things I've seen here. Would be interested in seeing the completed piece!

Alex

all the other stuff on enigmafactory.com is really good!

how much is the DVD going to co$t?

and my last question, did you use a mini35 adapter of some sort??

The DVD will be $19.99 plus shipping. We are working hard to bring to the indie world a DVD that we wanted to see before we shot BROKEN. Tons of info we were looking for.

And no, we did not use the 35 mm ADAPTER, we didn't want to loss the light that extra glass would have give us.

Thanks and I hope you like the DVD.

Cheers!
