Zipp Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 The trailer for Population 2: http://www.vimeo.com/13953680 This is the film I wrote the concept for, story edited the final script, and produced. The writing process began three years ago. Now we're seeing it barrel towards a release date. The director was the amazing Gil Luna and the director of photography the very experienced Kenneth Luba. OCRemix artist Nicole Adams will be providing some of the final music for the feature. Feedback is very welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murmeli Walan Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I'm very impressed. The cinematography is just fantastic, great lighting, great angles, the performances are convincing, and the story seems pretty interesting. Is that Nicole's music in the trailer? How much of the actual score is she doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipp Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share Posted August 7, 2010 Thanks for the feedback! The actors were fabulous. Really got into their roles. They had trouble sometimes decompressing after the roles. The actress especially really let the part take her over. The music in this trailer is by French composer Edouard Brenneisen. Nicole currently has done music for one of our behind-the-scenes features and will be doing at least one song for the final cut, though we haven't figured out which scene we want her to look at, yet.

BardicKnowledge Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 This is what a good trailer for this type of film should do -- introduce the main players, and give us a hint at the big overarching plot without spoiling the whole thing. Looks great to me! When's the release date, and what's your method of distribution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipp Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 Thanks, guys, for watching! The release date is sometime by the end of Fall. From what I've been seeing out of the editing room, I would suspect a late September release. You never know quite for sure in the film world... sometimes things change in such drastic ways that release dates can be completely over-ridden... however, I can't see this getting put off longer than October. Our distribution plan isn't set in stone yet. Local theatres (Portland, OR) are a given, as is some form of DVD offering. However, whether we DVD distribute ourselves or through a company is unknown. There's also a group in London that is interested in maybe purchasing distribution rights to either this or Moon Tribe Studio's other film, The Bobbsey Twins go to Hell. Two things might affect our chances at distribution. One, we will definitely be submitting to film festivals. If it does well there, that often can lead to deals for distribution. The other thing is that, in October, we are part of a contest that (if we win) will get us $250,000 to make another film. This could also affect distribution. The final thing is that we've been offered a chance to make a third film already, with full funding. We're working out the details, but it would have a budget of somewhere between 50,000 and 300,000. Depending on the buzz and the backers that get behind that, we may negotiate a distribution deal for Population 2 as part of the package. Thanks again for the interest!
