Visitor's Bureau

The Tompkins County Visitor's Bureau has signed on to be a sponsor for Uncorked! Carol and Adam did a presentation at the Bureau this Tuesday, and had a great deal of success. This has enabled us to go ahead and start looking for more supporting sponsors. Carol and Adam are going to several wineries this upcoming week.

We're currently working out the look and feel for branding uncorked. There are lots of great ideas and everyone is working hard to further preproduction.

Uncork your life.

Uncorked!

It has been getting very busy at Park Productions lately. The staff is working to the bone on pre-production for the upcoming webisode series, Uncorked. We are currently planning on shooting the pilot this May, so there is a lot to be done in these next few weeks.

It is amazing to see how much goes into a professional production. So much more organization and delegation is required then in the past student films I have worked on. When I watch a movie, I rarely think about the entire process of casting, budgeting, set design, or anything. I'm sure that's a good thing, because if I was caught up in thinking about the set design of the movie, it probably wouldn't be a very good movie.

Anyway, it's great to see everyone's strengths and passions surface as it comes time for job assignments. I am really (anxiously) looking forward to production time. I can hardly wait to meet the cast and see the characters that we've all worked on developing for so long, finally come to life.

Storyboard for Uncorked

Recently, I created storyboards for our upcoming webisode, Uncorked. There are 10 slides in total which play out the first episode that we will be filming in May. Craig runs through David Conner's vineyard searching for a few precious grapes, as his wife, Edy, wines and dines at the vineyard's restaurant. Craig is soon spotted by David's dog and begins to run, grapes in hand.

To see more, watch Uncorked coming to a computer screen near you in the fall!
