Topic: My Father is a Tyrannosaurus Rex: The Feature Film

http://i.imgur.com/0olff.png

Hey guys.

I'm writing and directing a feature film this summer. Leonardo812 of BricksInMotion, if you remember him, is also involved. The film is called "My Father is a Tyrannosaurus Rex." and tells the story of a young man whose father is a Tyrannosaurus rex.

Anyhow, we need YOUR support to make this film a reality! We've started a campaign on IndieGoGo, which is like Kickstarter except they haven't strung me along for weeks trying to verify payment details. In return for pledging money to the project, you get a cool incentive of some kind. Most pledge levels include a pre-order copy of the film when it is completed (I won't be putting the whole movie online for free, since it's a feature film.)

Here's the link. Check it out! Your support is appreciated.

Thanks,

Philip

p.s. the film is live action. But like with good production values and everything. We shot this quick pitch video a few weeks ago in live action, but the actor in that video had to drop out of the project because of schedule conflicts so I didn't end up using it on the IndieGoGo page.

Hmm, seems interesting. Sadly I can't donate mini/sad . I am however very interested to see the result. In the pitch film the color correction is great, but sometimes Tim isn't in focus. Also a bit too much grain for my liking. I don't know if I should be proud about this one, but I found him explaining the way of cooking quinoa quite humorous mini/smile .

The original pitch video was shot very quickly with a relatively cheap camera I'd never used before. It was so sunny out, I could hardly make anything out on the (very tiny) display, to boot. Suffice it to say that video is not an indicator of the production values for the actual film at all, I mostly used the grain to cover up how fuzzy the video from the t1i was.

Ah, I'd love to donate, but like Keesret I can't. Good luck on the film though! mini/wink

I'm looking forwards to seeing the film, though.

Interesting! It's nice to see you decided to do this. Great summer project. I will have to consider donating (especially so I can get a DVD). Oh and I'm not sure if it was intentional, but Quinoa is actually pronounced KEEN-Wah. mini/smile Good luck, Smeagol, hope you can get all the money raised!

Re: My Father is a Tyrannosaurus Rex: The Feature Film

So, is there going to be a CG tyrannosaurus rex for the father, or are we just never going to see the poor boys dad?

I totally meant to check that but didn't, thanks for letting me know, though. That video was put together so quickly, there are reasons I didn't use it on the pledge page itself. I'm almost starting to regret putting it online, the dislike ratio on it is my highest ever. That may be partly because I'm asking for money and it's not a LEGO movie though, considering my YouTube demographic.

I'll be spending, like, a year after filming making a hopefully very convincing CG rendition of his father.

Re: My Father is a Tyrannosaurus Rex: The Feature Film

I want to donate, but.....


I don't know which one to pick. JK. Probably only $10 Smeags. *Says goodbye to poster* mini/XD

Re: My Father is a Tyrannosaurus Rex: The Feature Film

The posters should be pretty cool, probably a little different from the one on the page, ie BETTER. Had to put them in the $50 bracket though as it's going to cost a decent amount to get high quality posters printed, shipped, etc.

Re: My Father is a Tyrannosaurus Rex: The Feature Film

Also, this is a thing.

Re: My Father is a Tyrannosaurus Rex: The Feature Film

You should like send exclusive t rex plush toys to the people who donate 400 dollars or more. It could be something simple and hilarious like this. http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&s … e#/d2ma1dt

So, is this going to be in theatres and everything? Sounds luverly!

Re: My Father is a Tyrannosaurus Rex: The Feature Film

May I ask how you came up with this?

Re: My Father is a Tyrannosaurus Rex: The Feature Film

Theatrical releases are hard to get. I'll probably submit it to major film festivals and see how things go from there.
