That's A Wrap!

After over a year of on and off production, what a strange feeling it was to say those words. "That's a wrap." Kristin Cochell cheered and clapped. Everyone in our cast and crew and been so dedicated and passionate about being a part of The Quantum Terror. It truly has been a magical experience making this film. Here are a few photos from the final days.







As you can see from the last photo, we're wasting no time in tearing down the set. It's a painful thing to do, but space has to be made for our second unit work. For the next couple of months we'll be working with miniatures, puppets, and other insert effects to fill in the scenes what couldn't be done onset with our actors. We'll be doing this in tandem with our first stages of editing, to make sure that we're getting all the coverage we need. There's still a lot of work ahead, but I'm happy to say that it's coming along nicely.

In the near future, you will be seeing some serious revisions to our Indiegogo, including new videos, artwork, and information. We're going to really start pushing for press coverage and to widen our audience, so please keep spreading the word. Encourage your friends to follow our social media pages, and please be sure to like us on IMDB as well as Facebook.

This is a really exciting time in our evolution and I want to say thank you to each and every one of you who has helped us on our way. The list is long, but each name on it has played an important part. 

As always, thank you!

Director Christopher Moonlight Interviews With Film Courage!

“If you were to hand Jimi Hendrix a $100 thrift shop guitar, that guy is still
going to shred on it….”



It was an honor and privilege to have been asked by FilmCourage.com to talk about how we're shooting The Quantum Terror on a Canon 7D. You can see the full article that goes along with the video by clicking HERE. I talk about the camera, lenses, and how planning with your team makes all the difference. 

I know I say this a thousand times a month, but I want you all to know that the other team that makes all the difference is you guys, the people who have supported us through pledges, input, and sharing our links & posts. I always have you in mind while I'm doing all of this work. I'm very grateful to you and am so looking forward to showing you the finished film. 

Thank you.

Merry Christmas (or whatever) From The Quantum Terror!

So, we've been doing some color grading...


Turning our well lit sets into dark underground tunnels over the break. Shooting resumes in the new year.
Posted by The Quantum Terror on Monday, December 21, 2015


It's just a non eventful, unedited clip, but we wanted you to see how we're using post production to bring our humble little sets to life. We've gotten a lot of footage shot so far, and while we take a break from filming over the holidays, we thought we'd start editing and adding VFX to what we have so far.


No, no! Not that. That's from Harbinger Down, but I thought I'd do a gag gif for studioADI while I was at it, because they've been so nice to our production, providing us with animatronic tentacles, and all. (I thought it was funny.)

Also, if you missed it, please check out my last article: How Lovecraftian Cosmic Terror Applies As A Metaphor For Modern Society, which give a little more insight on just what kind of horrible monster our heroes will be confronting in The Quantum Terror movie.

"So, what's coming in the new year?" you ask! Well, I personally have been taking some art commissions to subsidies funding for the film, therefor we do have more money to continue shooting our next round of scenes. After that, I have an idea that I'd like to run by you. I'm thinking of bringing the Indiegogo to a close and doing one last Kickstarter for finishing funds.

...
...

Wait. Why would I want to do that, when I'm still able to collect funds from our successful Indiegogo? Well, the reason really comes down to public perception. I've been told by many people that at a glance, our campaign looks like a successfully funded one, that doesn't need or even isn't open to more contributions. Of course, if you spend a little time on our page or any of our social media, you can tell that neither of those things are the case, but I can't blame people for not spending more than a few seconds looking at what amounts to one in a sea of crowdfunding pages.


I think that a new Kickstarter campaign along with a brand new trailer (maybe even an "leaked" scene) with new footage and improved FX could be just the thing to generate new excitement for our movie. What do you think?


One final note before I go. I've been told by one of our contributors that the messages I've been sending them through Indiegogo's messenger service have not been reaching them. If you have pledged and not received a personal message from me, please accept my apologies and let me know by contacting me through thequantumterror (at) gmail (dot) com because I want you to be able to communicate with me at all times and know that I am grateful to each and every one of you.

So, from all of us to you, we want to say Merry Christmas, Happy (belated) Hanukkah, whatever else you might celebrate, and a happy new year. 

As always, thank you!

On Set With The Quantum Terror

Remember, our Indiegogo is LIVE right now at http://igg.me/at/quantumterror



A moment behind the scenes with The Quantum Terror. Figured we better post this before the Star Wars trailer drops and all else is completely overshadowed. #QuantumTerrod #BTS #StarWars #practicaleffects

Yes, it's happening! This Sunday we got back on set for our third day of shooting. Things went really well, largely due to our collection of great talent, combined with a lot of storyboards that were drawn out, ahead of time.


Here are some photos from the day, that we rather like.



As you can see, we're having a great time.


A quick update from today's The Quantum Terror film shoot. The cast and crew are working really hard, as Christopher Moonlight will show you.

Recently we gave a set tour to the Zombie Life Podcast show, who interviewed us extensively while they were there. We're really pleased with how it turned out. Give it a listen...



We'd also like to say thank you to ZombieApocalypse.net for their write up on us, that you can read by clicking here.

We're moving along, but we still need your help. Please share this stuff as we post it, and let people know that the Indiegogo is STILL OPEN and can receive pledges. We have about 7 more days of shooting to do, and every little bit helps. We've still got great pledge rewards available, from coffee mugs to screen used FX pieces. If anyone is interested in becoming an investor, please email me at thequantumterror@gmail.com to learn more.

As always, thank you!
