The update on when the update will happen»

When I wrote my last post, I had this crazy idea that interesting things would happen during post production and I would be constantly updating you all with the amazing developments. The reality is that it’s a whole lot of time and work in a darkened editing suite, most of which isn’t glamourous enough to [...]

San Diego Comic-con and….»

Well it’s clear I’ve been a little remiss. The whole point of having this blog on our website was that I would keep everyone who wanted to know up to date on where we’re at with the film. So that obviously hasn’t been happening…
But if we can leave that little oversight in the past, I [...]

Not quite a filming update»

Ok, so things have been a little quiet on the website since our last day in America. I say quiet, but what I should really be saying is that I haven’t made a single update on what’s been going on. This has a lot to do with the fact that we’re now back in Oz [...]

Last days in LA»

Well, we’re in the final days of our time in America… final day in fact. It’s certainly been quite a ride and by ride I actually mean 5 plane rides, 2 train rides and more car rides than I can count.
In our time here we’ve filmed so many interviews that it’s fair to say [...]

Thoughts from 30 hours on a train»

I guess the name of this post does speak for itself a little bit, but I figure I could elaborate. We left Portland the day before last and jumped on a train all the way down to Los Angeles. This 30 hour train trip gave me more than ample time to think back on the [...]

Counting the ways that Portland is pretty cool»

Ok, actually two main reasons. The place looks awesome. There are cool waterfalls everywhere and amazing landscape. But cooler still is the crazy amassing of comic book talent in the area! What is going on up here?
But I’m getting ahead of myself. The first thing to tell you about is what we did in the [...]

Wondercon and all its wonders»

So that title is a little tacky, but it was bound to happen eventually. I’m writing this update LIVE from the Moscone Center in San Francisco where Wondercon 2009 is being held. This is the last of the three days, so it’s probably the best opportunity to reflect on what we’ve been up to while [...]

The many things that have happened»

I’m going to make the link that the delay since my last post may have something to do with the fact that we’ve now been in 10 different hotels since we arrived about three weeks ago. Considering that the whole first week was spent in New York, that’s a lot of moving around. But since [...]

After Chicago it was…»

Ok, I admit we actually haven’t left Chicago yet, so the title of this post is a little misleading. But since we’re leaving in the morning I figure it’s as good a time as any to debrief on what we’ve been doing while we’ve been here.
To begin with, Chicago has some great comic shops. I [...]

And the trail goes on»

We’ve been moving pretty fast in the last few days. Since Baltimore at the end of last week, we’ve been up to Columbus, Ohio and are now in Chicago, Illinois… via about six states and a lot of driving. Thanks to Mike for that part. We unfortunately didn’t have any time to do anything in [...]

So then what?»

We filmed at New York Comic-con and we spent a couple of days seeing the city. But then what? Well, there’s definitely a whole lot more of the country to see and with it heaps of people engaging with comics in interesting ways.
I’m writing this from a motel room on the outskirts of Baltimore, Maryland. [...]

New York Comic-con 2009 is over!»

Well we came, we saw, we…. interviewed. Today’s filming at New York Comic-con brought a whole new and interesting group of talented individuals that we had the pleasure of interviewing. This stellar group included Kevin Eastman (of Heavy Metal and Ninja Turtles fame), Doug Braithwaite (too many fantastic examples of his art to mention) and [...]

New York Comic-con Day 2»

Well, we’ve successfully navigated our second day at the con and I can tell you it was definitely a day of battling the crowds. There was a never ending stream of eager fans pouring into the event from around lunchtime until late afternoon, so even getting from one place to another was a challenge! Even [...]

New York Comic-con Day 1»

Braving the extremely cold New York winter, the production team for ‘A Comic Affair’ began filming today at New York Comic-con. The highlight of the day was a great interview with Filip Sablik, publisher of Top Cow comics - a company founded by the very talented Marc Silvestri.
There a plans afoot for a whole lot [...]

USA Filming Trip Feb/March 09»

The Production team from ‘A Comic Affair’ leave to film across the length of the US this week. Our first stop is New York Comic-con before embarking on a marathon cross country trek taking in the likes of Metropolis, Chicago, Kansas City, St Louis, Portland, San Franscico and more!
We will be updating the website during [...]
