Ghost Shark 2: To Do [Updated April 22nd]

image

I’m finishing up work on my long-in-the-works feature GHOST SHARK 2: URBAN JAWS that I shot with Johnny Hall a while back, living at Mum’s and working on it pretty much full time until it’s done. It’s a sorry existence, but a productive one. Here is my to-do list:

  • Shoot and edit new death scenes (4/7 done) and a new flashback montage
  • Record ADR for a variety of characters
  • Completely replace one character’s vocal performance
  • Edit a new scene being sent from Los Angeles
  • Do animation for the shark VFX (seven shots)
  • Do various VFX fixups (painting out reflections, etc)
  • Finish musical score (approx 60% 90% complete)
  • Record end credits song with male and female leads
  • Get a shot of a TV in a bar
  • Get a shot of a bank of TVs at an electronics shop
  • Create shark sound effects
  • Finish the final trailer for release late April (maybe)
  • Colour grade (not me)
  • Titles (not me)
  • Sound mix (not me)

My deadline for all this, except the grade, titles and sound mix, is the end of May - the submission date for Fantastic Fest, which I will attend regardless of whether or not the film does. Eminently possible, I think, though it will take an enormous amount of work to get it done.
