Greetings friends!!
You may be asking what's happening now at the Belladonna Beehive?
Well lots and lots..
1. We are in the middle of cutting the trailer
2. Editing our webisodes for UTUBE
3. Planning the Strategies for World Release
4. Creating a campaign the AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE.
And doing lots of reading and listening to Podcasts about film distribution. From people who work for the Hollywood Studios to Sales Agents, distributors and film makers... so so interesting!!
5 And much much more which will all be revealed very soon.
Have a look at this add... I think it's great...somehow appropriate for any venture that requires everything.

HOW TO BE A BELLADONNA SPY
Greetings friends!! As promised part 3 to sound design. A most of you know this is our first feature film and never before having followed the process to the end of post production many of the steps literally brand new. I think perhaps the "sound boys' very a little surprised when they realised that we did not in fact have a post production sound supervisor, and they'd have to deal director and cinematographer. Luckily Marcus had the technical know how and in our down time would teach me the finer points and " boys tech talk" . FUNNY LIFE FUNNY MOMENTS DURING SOUND POST PRODUCTION.
1. Our first meeting with the Sound designer..."What sort of sound would you like there" Annika answers "For it to sound like the subconscious" (there was a good reason for it as Luke gets hypnotised) a blank look ... ohh subconsicous ......then off we went to deep discussion about film that just get made for the film festivals versus films that are made for people!! (more on that later).
2. One sunny afternoon Annika discovers a strange lump on her behind.... what could it be? A TICK... yes a tick not just any but a special stream of Polish tick....which meant I had to get tested in Poland... see if limes disease was on the cards... and then another 3 weeks to get the results (all clear!!) just another test... as I have a paralytic fear of blood tests!!
3. Sound mixing is a pretty intense expensive step in the process. During that particular period we worked from 6pm to midnight.... no buses after midnight..."what about taxis I hear you say" not so easy... because a taxi is not a taxi is not a taxi... and how many ways can one get shafted? well many really.. so a few times Marcus and I resorted to walking home in the middle of the night or catching the really really bad bus... the broken people with broken dreams bus... avec police!!
4. Then the trip home... we knew the owner of the apartment where we had been living had the keys....and knew that she had been visiting the apartment when we were at work. So Marcus drew on his best tricks form HOW TO BE A SPY book and we would insert clear pieces of plastic in the front door to see if we had visitors. This might sound rather paranoid but at this stage, almost at the end of the 3 months we had 16 500 gig drives with the complete film, all the files. music, camera, equipment, computers...our whole 18 months of work.
