March Short Update

Posted on February 28, 2012 by BlueGoggles

We just filmed our latest short film last night. Most of the Blue Goggles crew was there. The one’s who were not know who they are and were sorely missed (That’s what she said). We also had actors John Buseman (a Blue Goggles regular) and Samantha Ireland, a new member of the Blue Goggles family we hope to see more of. The filming went off without a hitch. We used some really creative methods to light the scene that I can’t wait to share with you after the short debuts next week. We have to keep this quick because we have a lot of post-production to do right now. Look for our new short to debut early next week and we’ll see you then!

It wouldn’t be a Blue Goggles Valentine short without a little blood. Andrew De Leon, special effects make-up, and Lisa Marie Kull work on Akasha Banks Villalobos’ hair while script supervisor, Lisa Marchese, keeps a close eye on continuity.

Bonus Features – Skyrim Intervention

Posted on February 3, 2012 by Rachel

Skyrim Intervention has been a great success. We hit the 100,000 view mark less than 48 hours online and couldn’t be more happy that people are enjoying it. That’s always our #1 goal when we make a new short.

Now that you’ve seen the original, check out the outtakes.

We were also excited to be able to film at Groovy Lube again, a location we used in Twisted Metal: Home Sweet Home. This one has a quick turnaround, so be prepared to see the short next week!
