What's Up Now?

What is Steve doing looking so guilty? Well it is cause you caught him working on Dex Dixon!

Steve, Illya, Jerry, Patty and Dennis all showed up for beginning fight choreography for some fight for the upcoming production.

As we mentioned before, we are working with Greater Than Gravity and AIM Academy of Martial Arts on the stunts for Dex Dixon.

The young men of GTG are helping us to develop the fighting styles for Werewolves and Vampires and integrating those styles into the combat.

Suddenly Steve realizes how old and out of shape he is...he better get his act together cause he is going to get beat up on this project for sure.

Below please find some pics of the team at work. Thanks to Patti Adkins for the photos.

Shoot Dates Moved Back

Hello there. Yes it is true we have made a decision to postpone the shoot for a few months. There are several reasons we have chosen to do so...but they all come down to the quality of the piece. We are very proud of Dex Dixon and we want to give it every chance to succeed. Some of that success lies in it's ability to show well with great make-up, costumes, locations, etc. In order to have all those elements mesh with great story, actors, and music...we need a bit more time. In the mean time we will continue to develop the web site, shoot support pieces, organize a behind the scenes documentary, work the fights with our pals Greater Than Gravity, and design stunning sets and makeup.
I know that we are making the right decision and Dex will only benefit from the choice.

Fan Art Sought and Appreciated

So Mr. Jackson made this nice poster design and sent it to us. Thanks! Which reminds me that I wanted to throw out a challenge. We are looking to create a page on our web site dedicated to fan art. The Dexivesre is rich and dark and many stories lay just beneath the surface. Draw a picture of Dex fighting the evils in the dark, create a radio play or short story...heck even film your own short adventure. Submit it, and if it is cool we will feature it on the site.

Stunt Team Added to Dixon Lineup

I had a meeting today with Harold Phillips in regard to the fights in Dex Dixon. He had some great ideas. I am excited to start working on them. After that meeting I ran out to Aim High Academy of Martial Arts in Beaverton. AIM HIGH SITE
I had lunch with Cyrus Cross and Daniel Sikkens two of the amazing members of Greater Than Gravity. If you recall in my last Blog Post I had a link to some video of these guys in action...truly amazing stuff. The gentlemen have signed on to not only fill in a couple of roles that needed their particular skills, but also to work with our production team to create the fights in the script.
These folks will definitely add flair to our film. I think this adventure may kill me as I am no match for the athleticism of these guys.

Greater Than Gravity

So I was fortunate enough to get a call from these guys...They want to join us on this film as stunties!!!!! Check them out!

Crew Meetings Begining

Today I am meeting with Melissa Hill, Christen Kimbell, and Mr. Jay Jaacks! Some of the fine folks who are interested in crewing up on Dex Dixon.

I am so blessed to have so many folks wanting to lend their incredible talents and time into this adventure.

In addition we have had an enormous amount of response for martial artists and dancers who would like to help out as dancing/fighting Werewolves and Zombies and Vampires...OH MY!

As time ticks away we have to get organized and these fine folks will be key to that happening. Thank you all so much!

Photo Shoot, SFX, and More

Well we keep on plugging away at Mr. Dixon's universe. Last Friday I went to visit Mr. Galvin Collins who was excited to help us shoot a few Noir shots to promote Dex Dixon.

They turned out great. On the side panel you can find a slide show with some of the pictures.

Carl Jameson and I had a meeting with a local Special Effects Make-up artist as well to discuss the requirements of this shoot. There is so much planning that goes into a shoot like this...it can become a bit overwhelming at times. But also exciting.

We are receiving a lot of response from some ads we placed looking for martial artists and dancers to play the denizens of our world as well. I am excited by the enthusiastic response so far.

On the web site look for the "Contact Dex" link for Dex's direct phone line. Give him a call sometime. Especially if you have a case that needs solving.

We are still working on locations scouting as well...and we need a few key crew members. If you know anyone with a film background looking for a fun project...have them contact us at info@lazyeyefilms.net.
