In His Steps Update from the Director

Post production on In His Steps continues at a great pace!  The rough cut is complete, and now the fine tuning process begins.  Once we have "picture lock" with the shots and visual effects completed, we'll move on to the audio edit, followed by sending the film off to our composer for the music.  Things are moving along right on schedule! Before we talk about the Character Spotlight, I would like to mention that we still have one final financial hurdle to cross in order to complete post production.  We need to raise $5,400 to cover the costs of editing, paying the composer, and making sure we can get the film seen by as many people as possible.  We've raised 14% of our goal so far, but that means we have over $4,600 left to raise.  Please consider donating today using the Donate button located on InHisStepsMovie.com.  Donations are being handled by our partner ministry, Families for Christ Ministries, a 501(c)3 non-profit, so all donations are tax-deductible. Over the next several weeks, we're featuring one of the characters from In His Steps across our social media platforms! We'll post never-before-seen behind the scenes photos from the filming of In His Steps only on our Tumblr blog Post interviews with the actor on our YouTube channel Feature the character as the avatar of our Facebook page ...and more!

Film Camp Pictures

Hey everyone! Here is a very quick photo update from the film camp I just arrived home from! I had an AMAZING TIME, learned a lot, and made lots of new friends!
I hope to write a more detailed report later.

First of all, Colorado is beautiful. We really enjoyed talking walks and hiking down the canyon. On one of our off days we even shot a short film down at the creek in the bottom of the canyon! It was a really neat experience! :-)

Brayden, Murray, Madison and Dave

Isn't the view gorgeous?!

 

I took a self-portrait on the way back from one of our more leisurely walks.
Rebekah did my hair so that was fun!

We were always extremely serious on set. No laughing was allowed. Film sets are very quiet and boring.

 

 Ok, ok - just kidding! We all laughed probably more than we'd ever laughed in our lives! Of course we all worked hard and had serious times but there was also lots of vibrant discussions and debates, joking, games and fun!

Madison let me wear her hat :-)

Here I am as a homeless extra - I really enjoyed it!

I can't get over how beautiful it is in Colorado! Visit there if you can!

The hardest thing by far was parting ways with all my amazing new friends. We all left at different times but several of us were on the same flight and got to hang out at the airport. Here I am with Madison, Mr. Rich Swingle, and Mary. I miss EVERYONE so much!!
Thanks to all of you for a wonderful experience!

 

I'll post more later! This week I have a one week summer job thinning beets, so I'll be pretty busy, but hopefully I'll have time to write more about my experiences later. Have a wonderful June!
