 Wow.

 What a hectic last few weeks...months...years.....

After a quick trip to Whistler to show the film in it's non-polished stages we are gearing up for the real release of Life Cycles. We have spent some time re-working a trailer which will be out in the next few days. packaging. Gibb's in L.A. getting the film onto LightIron's machine and I head down Monday to colour correct. Excited to see what the film is going too really look like!

 For the past few weeks we have been adapting to our new roles. Trapped between a production and a post.

Now, at 5:15 a.m., after filling the final piece of the shooting puzzle. We are done filming Life Cycles.

A very surreal feeling. hard to explain. It's a weird good.

I think we are all very excited to see where the next phases of this ride end up.Sleep tonight.....morning.... will feel good.

 Alright, so what have we been up to? We’ve had a bit of a lack on the updates lately but we’ve been keeping busy. All of us have been pulling late nights at the studio getting stuff done in the editing room and the movie is about 95% edited at this point. 

If we weren’t at the studio, we were out on location getting a few last shots to fill some holes in the timeline here and there.

So, it’s been quite a while since I last wrote one of these things.  Things are pretty much in full swing in the studio these days for the Life Cycles crew.  I’ve now joined the studio team of Frankowski and Gibb full time, giving some of my own opinions on the edits and helping out with whatever needs doing.  I’m super stoked to see what’s on the timeline right now and it’s rad to see it all finally coming together.

 We have a great circle of creative people around us. It's been proven time and time again. We have variety, young and accomplished,  to bounce our ideas off of. Each time we do the film gets pared into something better.

 It's been cool to learn and see the process of making a film. If we are able to mirror the balance of the people we love and trust, then we'll be stoked. and have a good film.

  Tonight we had a little pow wow with Mitchell P. Scott, our very talented writer for Life Cycles. If you know Mitch you are aware he is pretty good at making you laugh. A great trait to have and a great one to share, which he is always more than willing. 

Tonight Mitch laid down some beauties. His toy gun kept a few giggles going. The gnarly-skunk-eye is an automatic laugh every time. And the kicker...the bent pinkie finger, which is known by many German men.

 We stepped into at new realm of the film today. Recording the narration. 

To give you a bit of background we have spent a long time with Mitch Scott over the past year and especially the last month working on a dialog for the V.O. It's a very tricky and subtle style of writing and we brought in Mitch as the creative drive behind the words. He has spent over a decade working in the bike industry as a very sought after wordsmith. He has the ability to take our concepts and expand and fill them out to add a new layer to the film.

 We recently had to build a little custom dolly rig. And when I say custom I mean jimmy-rig something to get the job done. Not always pretty is the final product...but....it does do the trick.

We are turning into zombies. Walking home last night at 2am we stumbled the streets of our small town, zig zaging and reflecting on what we are doing. It's a great time for us as we walk we are able to decompress before entering our homes and lying down for the night. Other then falling more out of shape each day, the editing process has been super positive.

  Right now we have about %90 of the time line laid down! Which is very exciting thing for us. and hopefully you.

To Josh from South Africa.

 We are sorry man for not keeping you all up to date for the past few months. Our days are full and with a two guy crew it's been full throttle since the last update. So how to bring everyone up to speed and let you know what's up on the post production scene for Life Cycles ?
