Our first Blog Buzz

Hey, how about this: The film got it's first write up on a blog recently and we didn't even ask! We're flattered that Fan Cinema Today found our fan film and have mostly kind words for Batman Madman. From the blog post:

Plenty of fan films have been delayed for their special effects, but holding back one until it’s actually listenable? I like this guy [Jim Kline] already. As for the movie, we’ll see how it turns out, but the trailer on their website could use a little paring back—it takes a few minutes to get to what appears to be the main plot: Joker kidnaps Robin and turns him into a Mini-Me of sorts. It’s an interesting idea, so I hope the execution does it justice.

The Thrilling Process of Post-Production Audio

Batman Madman Trailer to Show at Superman Celebration

Word in from Metropolis, Illinois tonight. The trailer for Batman Madman will screen tomorrow at the Superman Celebration in Artist Alley on Market Street around 4 pm. Lance entered it as part of a fan film screening at the gathering.

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!
