Please be sure to stop by our exhibitor’s booth in the Steampunkvillage, next to the Revenant Rangers and the food court. We’re rebuilding part of Frankenstein’s lab. We will have a raffle for autographed photos and a chance to win one of our three limited edition buttons.

If you were ever afraid to film, but don’t know where to start, this is the place to be. The cast/crew of Frankenstein’s Monster from First Step Cinematics, LLC will take a practical look at filming on a budget for the 21st century. Attendees will be introduced to the basics of microbudget film project planning, logistics, some DIY tech ideas, audio needs, makeup, sets, props, and how to adapt a DSLR camera for filming. Q&A for cast and crew after presentation.

First Step Cinematics, LLC will have a booth at Comicpalooza to promote Frankenstein’s Monster. Comicpalooza takes place at the George R. Brown Convention Center from May 24-26th.

Our Comicpalooza programming will include a special DIY panel on how to film on a budget. As soon as they announce the date of the panel, we will let everyone know. This will not be a screening. Our booth will include a raffle for autographed gear, a Mary Shelley quiz, and more. I’m personally excited that our little corner of the convention will part of a steampunk laboratory.

We have a limited time (and amount) of guest ticket rates.

First Step Cinematics LLC finally has its Facebook page up. As a new Texas startup, it is an exciting challenge to build this group. 

 

It has been quiet on the blog, but that doesn’t mean we’ve stopped. We’re right now in the middle of post-production and are working full-steam. 

 

 

A teaser about our cast:

10 out of our 18 member cast are Shakespearean trained actors. 8 of the 32 cast and crew are educators. Our youngest actress is 14, our oldest actor is over 70. Our community hails from New York, California, Texas, Russia, United Kingdom, Spain and Italy.

 The entire film was shot in south-east Texas.

We have two Houston events coming up in Summer: Comicpolooza and ApolloCon. Both will have different panelists and subjects. 

In this post, we will highlight what we’re doing at Comicpolooza–the largest sci-fi convention in Houston, Texas.

I am honored that we’re going to be at so many conventions. I have to give special thanks to Comicpolooza which has streamlined the convention process for us.

Unlike ApolloCon which will be an intimate panel with the actors, the Comicpolooza panel gives a chance for techies to go crazy!

 

HERE is the link for the updated schedule of events. Once we finish post-production and the indy film circuit begins, this page will be constantly updated.

 

So what are we up to at Comicpolooza?
