Ha! Good idea, Richy. Now I need to get working on my Underwood Devil costume for Halloween.
Yes, I played it safe with washable tempera paint made for kids. You can pretty much drink a bottle and live to tell. Although your lower GI might not be so pleased...

Thanks Aveek! I'm really glad you enjoyed it. 
I wanted to take advantage of the location, John and his wife's amazing home, and there were all sorts of opportunities around, especially that mirror. That was our hero prop!
Tangent-- speaking of reflections... if you haven't seen the TV series WALLANDER, I highly recommend it. One of those shows that's firing on all pistons. Among its many merits, the camera work and production design create an artful and moody tone that I absolutely love. Lots of shadowy, out of focus colors and shapes in the shots. It's available on Netflix. Along the lines of THE KILLING.
They find all sorts of ways to shoot through props and scenery when pointing at the characters that help create a lot of depth and design to the composition.
And I will be hacking the GH2 soon. Just gotta get a new SD card and take the plunge.

Jeff's Jazz Hands!
You know I love this piece and can't wait to see it with the sound design
haha.
we'll certainly try our best to scare up some screams.

Finally got around to updating the Red Brick Films blog:
http://redbrickfilms.wordpress.com/
I'll try to keep it (relatively) current with tales and tidbits from our process that are worth sharing.

Glad to see you've got the sound and music in motion! Looking forward to seeing the final version!
PS - Love those reflection / mirror shots!!
Thanks sylents! Things are definitely in motion, and moving much faster than I had ever dreamed they would.
Just received an update from the FX artist and progress is being made in that department.
BTW - Anyone ever mention that you bear an uncanny resemblance to Harrison Ford? You must get that a lot... had to ask.

I never intended for the dull grey titles to stick around for very long and had wanted to add some sort of texture to them. Finally got around to dropping in a new layer...
Will probably slow down the speed of the flames just a bit more; no long list of credits, just 3 and we're into the film. Saving all the credits for the end...
... which is a long ways off!

Visual FX are now in place. 
Evan did a great job at matching his smoke & fire with the existing smoke & fire from the footage.
Didn't have the budget for the swirling vortex of demonic doom so we settled on a happy medium that will serve the film just as well, perhaps even better so as not to overdo it.
We're recording ADR and wild tracks this week along with grabbing a few insert shots.
Many thanks for all the feedback. Your input rekindled my enthusiasm for this project and has helped move it forward.

Agree with slowing down the speed of flames.
And I tried to click play on the "quick time player." Lol. Images look cool and fitting.
Glad it's progressing well.

Hey! Been away for a few days, just got back from the ADR session up in San Jose at John's place. Also grabbed a few insert/pickup shots while we were at it. Plugging them in now.
Ernest, I was thinking the same thing and did a version with a slower flame flicker and it actually looks better the way it is. Didn't feel right when slowed down. The speed of the flames seem to work best at 100%, at least in the font.
Steve, you're close. Here's what the end credit will read like:
Wanted to leave it a bit nebulous. Is it a book? A script? A short story? I'm on the fence. At the moment it'll either be a TV pilot or a feature, but it's definitely a work in progress!
