I'm kind of amazed how much stuff he apparently didn't know about having to do to make a movie. If it were me, I would have made sure that I knew every little detail of every things involved with an undertaking like this.

No worries -- Slow Lane has His Majesty there to hold his hand. :techman:

What makes his lack of knowledge amazing is that he purports to run a blog about fanfilms. With all the chances he's had to interview fanfilmakers before he even thought of making a film of his own you'd think he'd ask at least a few questions about process so he's not starting from absolute zero information-wise.

To be fair, most fanfilms are pretty crappily produced and messy affairs. New Voyages was infamously disorganized. Seems like only STC had some semblance of professional organization, but I could be making assumptions. We barely got Polaris's principle photography in the can because the set wasn't ready at the start of the shoot and we were behind by like 5 pages by the end of day 2. I figured out how to get 11 pages covered in one day and got us back on track, but it was a near thing.

Whatever happened to Polaris, anyway? :confused:

That's fine, in fairness, but as a matter of common sense, if that's true of most fanfilms shouldn't someone who makes it his mission to report on the making of fanfilms know at least that much going into making one of his own, and not be all "Yippee skippee! I'm so in love with Good Ol' Alec that I'm going to make an homage to his (non-existent) masterwork and be just like him! What could go wrong?" and later be like "Oopsie! never saw that basic thing coming!"
 
Is there something specific Lane failed to account for? I refuse to visit his site.

As to Polaris, it left my hands after the rough cut.
 
He just keeps talking about all this stuff that he didn't realize was going to be part of his job as executive producer for Interlude.
Hey, if I recall guys who finally finished "The Tessurian Intersection" took a decade to do so - but it got out in all it's glory. :)
They actually finished The Tessurian Intersection? I gave up ever getting the last part of that ages ago.
 
Two emails so far today, one is "we're halfway there give us more money." The other is something about David Gerrold being on something called Axanar Confidential, I guess it's one of their live-streams. I didn't reach much of it.

Yep and it came out damn good.

Indeed "Tressaurian" did. Worth the wait! :)

Does anyone know how "Polaris" is doing, post production wise? I wasn't sure about posting in the thread mentioned above as it's been a couple of years since the last post.

Those assholes never finished "The Tessurian Intersection" but the guys who did "The Tressaurian Intersection" finished it 5.5 years ago.
