I really like how instead of just an update on the project you decided to glorify yourself in the process. Many people contributed to the project and dont need to tell everyone they did.

Hey all, just a reminder for those in the Milwaukee and Chicago metro areas, Viva Amiga is gonna be here this weekend doing some interviews with gaming and Commodore historians. But if you can come on out and want to say hello, perhaps we can get you interviewed, if you have a story to tell. Also, yeah. Giant frickin arcade. Yeah.

Just thinking, over this time is there any chance there could be an interview with Dennis van Weeren (the original creator of the Minimig)? Would be interesting I think.

@HenryCase

Good idea!

I'd like to be interviewed too, I have got a lot of things to say! MUWAHAHA!

Only joking....

...or am I?

Project Update #17: Europe Shoot --- Complete!
Posted by Zach Weddington
Hey all

Here's a blog entry showing how the Europe shoot went. I think you're gonna love it. We are nearly done shooting now. I'm gonna grab like 3 or 4 more people, and then we're done. This is big, folks. The film is international now.

http://vivaamigafilm.blogspot.com/2012/04/viva-amiga-in-europe.html

Again, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for donating to this film. You made this trip possible. The film is gonna be spectacular. We are swimming in great material and the editing plan is in place.

-Zach

Project Update #18: Viva Amiga Update
Posted by Zach Weddington

Folks, the film is happening. Just wanted to let everyone know what's up. I've been quiet, but that's because I've been in the lab and making it all make sense. I will get back to all of you, I promise. And man, we have incredible footage and interviews.

Here's some insight into how a project like this is managed:

We are in the editing phase, and it's flowing right along. I developed a strategy before shooting that is working quite well. I outlined the story before I began shooting with a fantastic app called Scrivener. We shot, and now I am breaking the footage down and and sorting all of it into various topics and story points. I am sorting the clips according to the "skeleton" I made and making it flow according to the story arc.

By the end of the fall, we will have a "content cut"...that is the interviews and any narration that composes a framework of the film. After that comes "B-roll", camera captured imagery and archival footage, to illustrate the various topics, and then a layer of animation to supplement. After that, of course is the soundtrack. Finally, we have a color -corrector on board with the film now, who will give the movie a distinct color palette and rich shading. He works for the NFL doing high end commercial work. Yep. This is the real deal, guys.

So bear with me as we move through this process. It's a long one, but I will have you a finished film next year. We are on schedule.

Viva Amiga, my friends. Yeah.

Doubt Zach uses his real Amiga anymore (cept for leaning on) but from the pic It looks like all the editing is being done on an old Amstrad CPC, odd that... I'd have though he'd have used a Spectrum myself...



PS: The budget for the movie was only $29,656 so he couldn't afford to buy an X1000...
