iSundae II - Part 10 of 10

Yes, it’s finally here! The 10th and final part of iSundae II! Again, if you haven’t watched the first nine parts, see those first. By the way, I suggest that you stay for the credits. We put a lot of silly stuff in there. :-)

Stay tuned! We’ll have outtakes for you later on, and I’m planning on a behind the scenes video on the tower top scene.

“I’m Flying!”

(This post references iSundae II: Attack of the Cones, part 9. You may want to view the movie before reading this post.)

Believe me, after twenty minutes of acting under two-thousand watts of light (and more than five yards of velvet) you feel like you’re flying, and it’s not a pleasant sensation.

Staying cheerful and hydrated during the Flying Machine Sequence was one of the hardest and most personally challenging things I did during the production of iSundae II. The staying cheerful part especially. Bad attitudes can spread like wildfire on the best of days, and filming in a tight area just makes them spread faster. I think the extra effort showed as Gwenanda getting steadily crazier. We got quite a few outtakes and “behind the scenes” clips. I guess those made up, in a small way, for the difficulties.

Be sure to stick around for a peek behind the scenes of the flying machine sequence and all the craziness of shooting blue screen all day.

Filming a Musical Number

Some people learn slower than others. That’s got to be the only explanation for why we decided to throw not one, but two musical numbers into our second movie. Wasn’t iSundae I hard enough? Maybe we’re gluttons for punishment. Or maybe the songs just begged to be written. But however it happened, we wound up with two scenes that involved singing. Singing in the middle of the woods, no less. Are we nuts or what? [Read more →]

Seeing Double

(This post references iSundae II: Attack of the Cones, part 8. You may want to view the movie before reading this post.)

One of the trials of being an aspiring filmmaker is the small amount of people you have available to work with. We watch movies with casts that seem to rival the population of a small country and sigh. These big productions can put more people in the line behind a main character waiting to buy a box of Tic-Tacs than we have in our entire cast and crew combined!

Maybe our budget doesn’t allow for more people, or we simply can’t find anyone willing to help out. But however it comes about, we find ourselves faced with a dilemma. How can we make the best out of a bad situation? [Read more →]
