From time to time, I will post these progress reports on the status of the development of WINGS Part 2. (The chapter-by-chapter synopsis can be viewed here)
JANUARY: Finish research & writing for "Knight Flights," the chapter covering the end of the war through 1959. Also will begin assembling existing video footge and stills, which involves purchasing archival footage and many, many trips to the Catalina Island Museum.
FEBRUARY: Finish research & writing for the other two segments "Final Approach" and "Flight Plan". This will mark the end of the Pre-Production phase.
MARCH: On-camera interviews and film-to-video transfers of archival footage.
APRIL: Begin editing phase. Editing is by far, the most time-consuming part of any film projecet. Also, will begin narration sessions with my voice over guy, Gino Burton who did the narration for WINGS Part 1.
MAY: More voice overs and editing, editing, editing.
JUNE: Final voice overs, final editing (including music sounddtrack, much of which is written and recorded by myself) and cover artwork for the DVD.
JULY: Replication and distribution: I am planning on a release date of July Fourth weekend. (Not quite Spring as I had hoped, but only a week or so afterwards and more realistic).
