Coming Soon: The First Trailer

The first video trailer advertising The Triskaidek is coming soon: "Too Much Magic"

We've asked the fairies how they made this video and here's what they had to say:
(most of these are pretty accurate, but some may be in "fairy time")

105 hours over the course of 3 months as follows:

• 2 film sessions (one outdoor/indoor and one outdoor) @ 6 hrs each
• 2 voice recording sessions (w/ rehearsals and costuming) @ 3 hrs each
• 10 hrs of script writing & rewriting
• 2 jam-sessions between Director/Producer and Director of Photography for editing and artistic planning @ 3 hrs each
• 3 shopping trips for costuming and jewelry @ 1 hr each
• 6 hrs of set preparation and planning (construction of rigs)
• 40 hrs of video editing (lead fairy is just guessing what the DP has done... maybe it is more?)
• 10 hrs of location scouting
• 6 hrs of casting interviews/auditions combined with more costuming and rehearsing
• 6 hrs of project management (coordinating schedules, emailing people,, writing and getting signed some release forms for all the kiddies)

Cost?

• $300 in props and costuming
• $200 in gifts to cast members (hey, if you are a cast member, don't complain - I haven't given them out yet!)

People?

• Counting the Director/Producer/Writer (me) and the DP (Harry) and the two actors we had 12 people total involved in the creation of this one video. [this doesn't count each of our families!]
• several fairies and pixies (sorry nobody was quite sure how many as they were barely visible and only for a moment) and possibly (no one was quite sure) one sunbird

WOW, and that is only one of the videos! We've got the footage filmed for four total videos (if I haven't lost count) and are going to be finishing up the others in the next several months.

The videos will be posted FIRST at the Fairy Mayhem Films YouTube page:

(and possibly other places after that.)

See you there!
