The Christmas Mummy will be finished by mid- august.

We are 2 scenes away from finishing The Christmas Mummy, our latest micro-feature. We have been very patient and it's nice to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Most of post-production is done and we will be submitting to 8-10 film fests this year and hit up all the earlier ones next year. Stay tuned for promo art coming soon!

Music added to The Christmas Mummy!

I just did the first pass on the soundtrack and everything seems to work so far. We still need to pinpoint a few spots but it sounds good. Some final dialog track mixing and re-recording are up next, followed by foley and sound f/x. Oh yeah, still have to shoot the opening scene....Otherwise right on schedule...rob michels, co-owner, Screaming Like Banshees productions...

Over the next few weeks we will begin to spot and compose the soundtrack for The Christmas Mummy. I have come up with several themes and will try to find the best one for this project. I am very excited about finally getting to see the edit with some music in it.  Stay tuned.....rob michels

Editing the Christmas Mummy.

I have been editing The Christmas Mummy for the last 10 days and its coming together nicely. I will be doing sound effects and foley this week and shooting some inserts and pick-up shots as well.  A new trailer is being cut too, so stay tuned.  I have already learned alot from this shoot after editing the material and we didn't do too many things wrong, nothing we can't fix on future productions. Progress is key to film making, and maybe we will have more help on future projects. Well i got to go back to it, and keep an eye out for the new trailer, hopefully i'll have it done today.   rob michels

Christmas Mummy production update.

We shot a great scene today, and after watching all the raw footage everything looks great! Well done to the cast and crew for another smooth running set. We added another death scene on the fly and it turned out pretty good. We shoot one more day next week and we are done with exteriors.Then looking to crank out the interiors in 2 more days and start planning the next project. Still tons of post-production to do on The Christmas Mummy which will begin taking shape over the next few months. stay tuned...

The Christmas Mummy production trailer.

Christmas Mummy Update.

     First of all, huge thanks to cast and crew at our christmas party massacre shoot on Jan. 21st 2011. It was a 15 hour day for the crew, we didn't know if anyone was going to show up, and we were doing the biggest scene on the first day! But we adapted to the situation and used what we had, even asking a couple on a dinner date if they could play 2 quick roles that we still needed to fill during the shoot, and they did! How many times have you been out to dinner and someone says "hey, they're making a horror movie in the basement, would you like to be in it?"    The cast was mostly friends and non-actors, mixed with a few  more experienced actors.  Don't underestimate yourself as an actor, with a little coaching through a scene, and with some repetition, most people can come close to what your looking for performance-wise.    For me though, it felt good to be making another movie, because you are creating something no-one has ever seen before and when it starts to come together in the edit and sound is added, thats when all the hard work pays off.  (to be continued...)...Rob Michels.
