The Insiders

DVD Cover Art

Yawp Media was contracted to edit the short horror film The Insiders directed by Ben Ploughman. It’s currently in pre-production and will start shooting the first week in June. The story is based on a Nathan Parmer graphic novel about a businessman who has a hunger for success, women, and self-help audio books. Ultimately no amount of self-help rhetoric can rescue him from a tiny invading parasite.

Cymothoa Exigua

The Insiders parasite is modeled after the Cymothoa Exigua that attaches itself to fish. Makes me cringe.

“Brilliant” teaser in the works

Shooting has begun on select scenes on the Shades of Strange pilot entitled “Brilliant”. The scenes will be cut together into a teaser for the pilot. Brandon Boggs completed his first day of shooting May 9th. What we’ve seen so far is promising: rich deep colors. Once we have enough media in house to begin cutting, we post a few clips.

Shades of Strange Productions has announced the launch of its new web site.

Shades of Strange

Louis Weyrich (why-rick) finished writing version 9 of his pilot “Brilliant” in his Shades of Strange sci-fi series. Koen Wooten has drawn a number of exquisitely detailed storyboards, and Yawp Media is editing the storyboards into an animatic with movement, transitions, VO, sound effects, and music. The animatic will aid in the pitch process when it comes time to present to networks.
