Hi Everyone,

I have just this minute uploaded a couple of outtakes, so if you haven’t yet seen them check them out here.

I hope you all had a lovely time over the festive period! In this post I’ll be taking a look back on 2011…

2011 was a busy year for Brocken Spectre. The year saw the production going through its three stages – pre-production, production itself, then post-production.

We started filming in early February for one day – shooting the prologue of the film – and then launched into our “full” production schedule at the beginning of March with the aim that we would be finished shooting by the end of the month. Unfortunately that couldn’t happen as our lead was to set off on an adventure to New Zealand. This meant that the film had to be rewritten and a new lead cast.

It would have been easy to rewrite the film and do something completely different. The real challenge came in writing a film that could incorporate what had already been filmed. Luckily, most of what had been filmed was at the beginning of the original film – so it was mostly a case of writing a new middle, and end.

Thankfully, this didn’t take too long, and I really do believe that this “new film” has a much more dynamic, and interesting, plot than the original – so perhaps it was a good thing to have such a large spanner thrown into the mix!

We started shooting again at the end of June and continued through to the end of September – not shooting every day, as we all had to schedule filming around our work commitments.

So, we officially entered “post-production” in late September/October and I’m pleased to now share with you that the film has been edited in its entirety and is with our film composer, Thomas Vo. I’ve had a few snippets back from him already and I’m incredibly excited because I know he’s going to do a brilliant job.

I’d like to thank everyone for their support throughout 2011… you’ve all played a huge part in helping us pull the film off and I’m looking forward to being able to release the film this year, in 2012!

Best wishes to you all for 2012 and keep checking back for the latest updates,
Fergus
