So, next week I'm shooting "Onyx Origins". It's going to be a unique shoot in a few ways.
For one, the movie itself is being shot specifically for "Con 9 from Outer Space" and as such will have elements of a 50s sci-fi movie, including it's style, but being a prequel to the "Alien Vengeance" movies I can't do the Onyx Character's origin story properly set in the 50s and without a bit of violence of gore. Also, we want to have a 3D piece to show people when we restart the fundraising campaign for AV-3D later this year, SO, an alternate version is being shot, for 3D and with some effects, language and violence the 50s version will not have. It's sort of a study in the history of sci-fi evolution to see what we're allowed to do now that was too "scary" 50 or 60 years ago.
There's also the 3D element. The movie will be in B&W for the 50's version and that is likely something we'll carry over for the updated version because anaglyph 3D (the type I'm using), tends to work better in 3D, but we're shooting in color, so I can make that decision in post.
We'll also be using a combo of 2D to 3D conversion and some shots in native 3D. One of the reasons for this is to test them side by side as it will save time, and thus money, in the feature movie down the line. If it works.
So expect to see a couple of versions, maybe even one that's pretty much "kid safe" of "Onyx Origins" late in 2012.
