During production of our AS opening, we were so engrossed in the
narrative and possibilities of producing a full film that we set our aims on
completing our short film - a continuation of the opening sequence to 'Sins of
the Martyr'. Despite a considerable amount of footage being shot and edited, we
ultimately decided to abandon plans for the full feature due to time
constraints and lack of cast availability in addition to a decline in our lack
of interest as we wished to move on to other projects.
However it would be foolish to completely scrap
this existing material so we made the choice to incorporate what had been shot
into our A2 trailer. We even used a lot of this footage to put together the
announcement teaser - which would have been less interesting if there had not
been any footage to use. Due to the cast, characters and subject material the
existing footage will fit seamlessly alongside the new sequences that we plan
to shoot and take the pressure off us regarding accumulating enough footage for
editing, though we still intend to film a huge amount in order to maintain the
look and feel of an expensive production - which means, inevitably, that a lot
of it won't make it into the final product.
