Wheeler: The Update!

admin — Sat, 03 May 2008 05:36:01 +0000

Hey guys, sorry about taking so long to update this again. After that first day of shooting we all had to undergo a major overhaul to make sure the project would still come together. I wasn’t able to update this nightly as planned because I never actually made it home. I was awake for three days straight making sure that everything was going to work smoothly. In the end we shot everything we needed and had no more location problems. I have to admit though, I am enjoying this break from the stress of shooting.

Anyway, here’s an update on our progress thus far: We are getting exceptionally close to a picture lock on Episode 1. I think with just a few more tweaks here and there we’ll be ready to jump in with the sound mix and the music. During the sound mix we’ll also be working on color correction and perhaps some digital effects to liven things up. Once all that is done we’ll be ready to move onto Episodes 2 & 3! I may even start cutting a rough version while Episode 1 is getting the finishing touches, but we’ll see how it goes.

So yeah, Episode 1 is coming together, will be ready for sound by the beginning of next week, and should be ready for viewing shortly after that. We appreciate everyone’s patience during this post-production phase. It is definitely a time-consuming process, but the results should be worth it.

Oh, and while you’re waiting for the first episode to hit the internets, why not check out our selection of Wheeler: U.S. Merchandise. We picked ourselves up a few buttons and have been sporting them around, much to the joy of everyone we meet. Everyone who sees the button oohs and aahs and offers us large sums of money. If you too would like to be offered large sums of money, get your Wheeler merchandise today!

Thanks, and keep checking back for more updates (I promise to update more frequently!)

Wheeler: Day 1

admin — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 06:30:39 +0000

Ok, so day one started out alright. We were a little slow to begin and then we started picking up around 11:00. But then our production came to a screeching halt as we faced major location issues. Basically the property manager came by and gave us a very rude message telling us to leave immediately because we didn’t have an agreement with him to pay $2000 per day to shoot in Alameda. So we had to call it a day early and calm down to regroup. Some of us went to find alternate locations while some others attended a city hall meeting (specifically about disabled issues) and gave a presentation about our plight. Apparently they were helpful enough to give us a lot of phone numbers to call. So yeah, we have some good alternatives to Alameda, as well as some leads on perhaps getting back into Alameda and rubbing the permit in the property manager’s face. The bottom line is that today was mostly a disaster, but we were able to come up with alternate plans to save the project. They tried to strike Wheeler down, but he’s coming back stronger than ever. He just might be a little behind schedule.

Wheeler is Rolling In

Our apologies for not updating this in the past couple weeks, but our schedules have been exceptionally hectic. We’ve been working on securing a camera (or cameras, possibly), writing up an extensive shot list, organizing a crew, wrangling equipment, securing our locations, and trying not to have a nervous breakdown. That last thing has been the hardest. But now we’re about 3 days away from starting the filming process in Alameda, and we’re all quite excited. Judging by the outlandish shot list and enormous talent of the crew, this project promises to be nothing less than epic. We’ll try to keep you informed about all the happenings during the week long shoot, but don’t be surprised if we’re all a little too busy to make it to the computer. Yes, anyway, I feel like I may start rambling here, so I suppose I’ll cut it short. Just know that this project will be the biggest that we’ve ever attempted, and from the looks of things everyone is ready to get in there and work their magic.

Speaking of magic, did you know that by purchasing official Wheeler merchandise you are granted magical powers? It’s true!* But the powers dwindle quickly, so you have to use them right away. Check out the merchandise available at the top of the page and try out your own magical powers today!

Wheeler Updates!

The audition process has ended and the cast of Wheeler: U.S. Marshal is set and ready to go! After two days of auditioning more than twenty actors, we finally settled on the three newest members of the Wheeler family. We will post information about the cast just as soon as we figure out how to do it.

We also settled on a schedule for shooting, which is very exciting for us. The following dates have been designated as shooting days: Monday March 24th - Thursday March 27th; Sunday March 30th - Tuesday April 1st.

By the end of the week we should have a pretty solid idea of what we’re going to shoot on which day, so we will keep you updated as the decisions are made. It’s all very exciting though, as production on Wheeler: U.S. Marshal is now less than three weeks away!

Wheeler Trailer

Hey everyone (if anybody actually sees this), I decided since this is the official Wheeler page I should post the official Wheeler video. Please keep in mind that this trailer was made almost 2 years ago before we had any official film training. Also, the content of this trailer differs greatly from the material you will see in the three brand new episodes coming out later this spring. We are taking Wheeler to a whole new level.

Anyway, here’s what it was like in the beginning…

And so it begins…
