PRE-PRODUCTION WARFARE

So Adam has conned me into a blog in which I can update you the viewers on the behind the scenes of his soon-to-be epic film Panzer Corps. For the better part of a year Adam has kicked around the idea for making a war film that would make Saving Private Ryan look like a Power Ranger sequel. Only after a short time of research did he find direction with other historic and fictional films paving the way. That's where I came into the picture; I worked on a few films with Adam and told him I was crazy enough to go down this road in hopes to blow you the viewers away. We began slowly building stunt guns for explosions and then getting our hands on some replica war weaponry. It only pushed Adams creative process further; he basically became a machine- finding the right gear, look and appeal of the characters. I slowly had to shut down the factory- only to point out that a script was needed first and fore most. Soon to join the small army of Panzer were Jeff Leman and Matt Tull. With the three of them working hard and ideas flying back and forth, I felt it was safe to leave them be. I did my best to stay out of their way until its time for me to step in and give my two cents. Jeff, Matt and Adam slowly chipped away at many drafts and after a few months the final Panzer Corps script seems to be just over the horizon. It overwhelms Adam with joy knowing the script will be out of the way and he can go back to playing with his guns and armor once again. I think he's a bit too excited about all his new editing software, but as a producer I'd rather have him happy. I'll be sure to keep you all posted on all the craziness soon to come!
