Initial Dialogue Script

Below is the (very cheesy) planned dialogue and narration that will accompany the trailer. Obviously lines will change or be removed once we enter the recording stages and decide what fits best or sounds more appropriate.

THORNE: "I knew a man...a long time ago... he stood up...he fought for those worth dying for..."
RICK: "What happened to him?"
THORNE: "That man is dead...he's not coming back...after all this time I haven't the strength to be part of this fight anymore..."

ENIGMA ENTERTAINMENT LOGO

DAVIDSON: "Lucas Thorne...it's time to wake up...get yourself back in the game"
THORNE: "What would you have me do?"

ROTHEN: "Find it"
GATES: "I've never seen anything like this...it's all connected!"


DAVIDSON: "The weapon has been compromised...OSIRIS is unbound"

ROTHEN: "Shall we begin?"

FROM THE VISIONARIES BEHIND 'SINS OF THE MARTYR'

ROTHEN: "“In all my years I've never met another so alike…we’re both destined for the same hell…just I’m willing to watch the world crumble along the way”

NICHOLAS ASHURST

THORNE: "It was never supposed to end like this"
DAVIDSON: "I gave you my word...I would stand by your side...
THORNE: "...until the end"

JAMES RICHARDSON

RICK: "If we're gonna go, we have to go now!"
THORNE: "I must be the one to finish this!"

and LEE DAVIDSON

ROTHEN: "Your honour...valour...strength...what have they amounted to? ...nothing.

ROTHEN: "I am a god!" :P

Poster Prototype

Below is a very early basic conceptual design for the film's poster - using a photograph shot for practice purposes. It is highly unlikely that this design will be used (though elements may be incorporated) as we feel that a more natural and less 'collage' type poster will be better suited to our film but nevertheless we wanted to show you our various stages of design. The proper photo-shoot - and ultimate designs - will be available in the coming weeks.

Preparing the Music for OSIRIS UNBOUND

Early on in the development of our sophomore motion picture we made the conscious choice to reunite with our 'resident' composer James Richardson, notable for his elongated fingers perfect for playing the piano and of course his elongated chin. His work on our film last year was acclaimed and so there was no other option than to request his input once again.

The key difference this time, however, is that the music has been composed prior to shooting of the trailer. This was done for a number of reasons. Firstly, to speed up the post-production process (as last year the opening was already edited and there was somewhat of a rush for our composer to come up with a soundtrack) and to provide inspiration for our shots and editing - as with trailers the use of music is key in establishing and maintaining the pace of the action. We asked James to use the same sort of style he had done so well previously but also to experiment with other ideas.
 
Below is the initial demo for the trailer soundtrack, which we were very pleased with. We have, however, requested the reworking of some parts in order to fit our envisioned structure of the trailer. The last part of the music will also have to be faster paced though this could be easily achieved with added percussion and strings. We also intend to utilise the musical skills of some of our other cast members such as Lee Davidson who is a master of the guitar and Richard Young, who is efficient on the drums.
