Hi All,
"Marcus isn't feeling like himself right now".
Hope you all had a great (Thanksgiving) weekend! Things with Status Change are really coming along! Looking at a release date of January 1st! I'm a perfectionist, so I'll be working on it here and there until it's posted, but it's looking great! At this point just playing around with a few things and trying a couple different music options (plus working a full time job and doing all the holiday stuff).
Next time I ...

HI All,
Just a quick update. A Patron asked if I could post some behind the scenes footage. I don't have a lot as we were busy filming most of the day, but I do this one shot that someone took during one of the takes. It's early on in the video so no spoilers here.
In this scene Marcus has just found out some unknown agent, or agents, is stealing his technology at his office and that his security team isn't able to stop them. He has an idea how Whitney, aka The New Gir...

HI All,
Just a quick update. Made some more headway again this weekend. Also created the IMDB page and some poster art.
Here's the link to the IMDB page, if want to check it out. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11240224/reference
More updates to come!

Hi All,
Just wanted to let you know that I've been busy working on Status Change and it's coming along. I've been tightening it up and it's just over 20 minutes at present. I spent most of the weekend working on color correction, leveling the audio and fixing any issues that I've found. Still lots to do, but I did get a lot done this weekend. Still have to do effects and music, but it's coming along.
General information about the production:

Hi all,
If you want your name to appear in the Statue Change end credits 'thank you' section for Patrons, please send me a private message with your info. I don't automatically put people's names on the videos, so if you want your name added, please let me know. If you don't want your name in the credits, you don't have to do anything, only people who send me a message will appear there. I will have a general "Thank you to my 116 Patrons for making the video possible" message.

Hi All,
Just wanted to give you a quick update and let you know I just posted a new video about the project. So we filmed this "Patreon Pitch video" at the end of the first day of primary filming. It was a long day and this is probably around hour 11 for me. (I'm super exhausted, incase you can't tell). :)
Still editing away with every free moment I have and currently just over 18 minutes of run time. Still have a few things left that will easy push us over the 20 minute mar...

Just a quick update! Still editing away whenever I have a free moment or two. Currently almost upto 13 minutes with still a ways to go. I think it'll be at least 20 minutes long, if not more, maybe 23. Of course this is the rough draft edit, and once that's done I'll go through it and tighten it up, see if everything works and if anything needs to be cut or re-shot.
And take a look at this awesome screen grab I took. No color correction, just the raw footage.

Hi All,
Just wanted to give you an update! So currently seven minutes and forty-three seconds in to the video. That's a rough edit, and LOTS more to do, and I'm projecting the video to be between 18 to 23 minutes long when it's done. So still a long way to go with the editing, most of which I get to work on the weekend, but I do get some done during the week after work.
So the knock, knock, is for Whitney at the door. One of the fun things about doing an independent fi...

HI All,
Just a quick update and a few more behind the scene pictures.
So I've been synching up the sound with the video and I'm nearly done. Once I'm all done I can start editing.
Here's a few more pictures from the film day. Such a great group to work with!

HI All,
Just a quick update on our second day of filming (which was yesterday). We got this cool location and a big group of actors and crew. I was so busy I didn't get a chance to take a group picture (or any), but some of the actors took pictures, so I'm showing you our film day through their eyes.
It was a fun shoot and thankfully a short day, only about 3 hours for me.
More to come,

Hi All,
"Marcus" and "Whitney".
Just wanted to give you an update on our film date today. Started at 7AM this morning and filmed all day, wrapping up about 6PM, then had to clean up which took another hour or so. Filmed 17 pages, which is AMAZING for that short amount of time, but I had rehearsed with the cast, and the crew was spot on. We got everything done.
Still one more day to go tomorrow, but lucky for me it's a short day at another location.

HI All,
So we had a rehearsal yesterday and it went GREAT! It's a very interesting and funny project. As you can see from the picture, they're wearing "body swapping headgear". For the first episode in the anthology, I wanted to introduce people to the concept of body swap device technology slowly, so in the first segment they use a prototype to swap, but the next actual devices are about to be released. So you'll only see the headgear in this episode and from then on it will be a...

So we had to push out the film dates for Status Change (that's the video's title) until Oct. 5th and 6th, but I'm happy to share photos of the lead actors. We had our first read through of the script today and the project is coming along nicely. Both actors have strong comedic abilities, but they also bring an edginess to the project that I'm excited to see play out.
Thanks,

Hi All,
This is just a post for the higher tier Patrons. If you want to know more about the new project I'm working on about the CEO and his personal assistant who swap bodies, I'm happy to share details with you. I don't want to post spoilers here incase anyone would rather be surprised, so if you want to know more, send me a message and I'll be happy to fill you in on the details.

Hi All,
So I've finished a new script and I'm planning to film it in 3 weeks! It's going to be a Body Swap video that takes place in the same "Universe" as The Body Swap Workout! (remember that video?) This one's going to take place prior to the previous Workout video, and instead will involve the early stages of the technology that allows people to swap bodies.
In this video, the young CEO of the company will find out that someone is stealing the technology and will h...

Hi All,
First off, just wanted to thank everyone for sticking around over the last six months. Sorry things have been quiet, but that's the reason we set the patreon NOT to charge monthly fees, instead we ask for support on a per video bases.
SO let me fill you in on what's been going on. The short version is that I've had some health issues and my blood pressure went out of control, and for someone with a kidney transplant (which I have) that can be really bad. My doc...

Hi All,
So I had a pipe leak (over my kitchen), which kept me busy, for the end of January and the first part of February, getting everything repaired and back to normal. Happily everything is back to normal, and I've upgraded the lights in my kitchen, so you might (or might not) notice that the next time I film a scene there.
So the new video, was a right time right place situation, where Kim (from the Wand of Change) was in town and we meet up one day to film a 'Re-shot/12 years...

HI All,
So I'm starting to think about my next project. Not sure what it will be at the moment, usually ends up working around availability and scheduling. That being said, what's everyone more interested in?
What I'm talking about here is do you prefer video bigger one shot videos or would you like to see something more like a series? (Series depend on if I can get someone who's up for doing something with multiple episodes, filmed over several weeks or months. )

So here's a picture of Belen as the Genie from the new video we'll be posting Monday morning. Just a reminder that this one has a main video, then 7 alternate endings...PLUS a Patreon exclusive ending!

Hi All,
Just posted a new video on Patreon called "A Time Traveler's Warning". There's no charge to Patron's for this one, but filmed it when we filmed The Magic Book, so it was made with the same Patron support that made that video, so we got to videos for the price of one. This one's just a short skit that took about an hour or so to film, after we were done filming The Magic Book. It tells the story of a guy who is visited by future versions of himself, including one that has be...

Send me message if you want a little more information/spoiler as to how it will appear. Again, first names only.
Just thought I'd made that available to my Patrons as a special bonus this video. :)
