Preview of new work (production Sept-Oct 08)

Some preview pics of raw footage used in a very large forthcoming body of work affiliated with  Gothic Memoria (including pics from the films). I'm in post at the moment so will be quiet for another month or so until the primary edits of stage one are done. Expect to see Uber Nocturnus (Acts 5-10), Uber Memoria X (Acts 1-10), Gothic Nocturnus (Acs 1-10) and of course, the big one, the first 8 minutes from Gothic Memoria. The sensational Nancy Calo and Andrew Rostas will return to provide new classical scores for all works. And thanks to all my wonderful actors and crew thus far...
