THAT’S A WRAP!

Principal photography for Batman Madman has wrapped and post-production has begun! The producers of the short fan film hope to have the final cut ready for a July 4th release, but due to the amount of digital visual effects in the film & spotty audio problems, it’s still too early to confirm the release date.

Producer / director Jim Kline has been editing night and day (sometimes 13 hrs. at a time) to meet the self-imposed July 4th deadline.

“My biggest pet peeve with low-budget & no-budget indie films is bad audio,” Jim said. “I can tolerate a bad acting performance, lo-res visuals, and whatnot, but when the dialog sounds like it was recorded in an echo chamber, a tiled bathroom, or a coffee can, it quickly becomes a chore to pay attention or even care about what’s going on. So we (the producers) are planning a big re-record weekend where all of the audio that doesn’t meet our standard will be fixed. This may be the deciding factor as to whether we meet the July 4th release date.”

We’ll keep you up to date on the progress of post-production, and when a release date is confirmed you’ll be the first to know.

Until then folks, stay frosty!
