So, "Hip Hop, Cherry Pop" is nearing the final stages of production, I come bearing great news: we shot day 1 of Zombie 3 . That's right. And here's the damn proof:
We've got a long way to go, but as you can tell from the clip, I am
very, very excited we got to start. The footage got a bit dark during
the shooting, but nothing terrible. We're not reaching for a $50
million budget or anything, but some of the shots came out rather
awesome. The effects and makeup work were top notch (makeup courtesy of
Michael Pearson).
Also, we're going to be on nation wide television! The CW recently
contacted us and will be showing a Worst Way To Die on an upcoming show
this fall call "Online Nation," so here's to breaking out to a bigger
audience, eh?
More and more of "Hip Hop, Cherry Pop" has been shot! Soon we'll have the entire thing on tape and editing shall begin.
This week we managed to shoot two major scenes involving TJ O'Brien's character Trevor. We also managed to gain permission to use a song from Jonas Eriksson for the movie. It's a cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark," and man I couldn't be happier to have it in the flim. Stay tuned for a trailer soon, we shall not disappoint!
Hey, productivity is a snowballing activity gaining some momentum around here, so here's the new stuff to check out:
We also put together a new opening clip for our projects! It's a nice departure from the older two, but seems to be getting a warm reception as to how it shows off our style. Either way, check it out!
Brendan Killion also got his own biography page in the Cast and Crew section, so look it over with the other bio pages already put together. You might just learn something!
It's been a nice few days with all the content being added, experience it all!

7-28-07 Long time no update, yes?
The wait has been worth it, as today we're going to have a new Worst Ways To Die , production stills from "Hip Hop, Cherry Pop,"
and a video blog or two from the same flim later on. The site should
have more activity now as my primary computer has been replaced with
something roughly twice as fast with twice the memory etc. Here's to
activity and the future!
PS: Expect some Zombie 3 stuff in about a week!
-Kevin
UPDATE: Worst Ways To Die 8
has been added to the YouTube page! However, YouTube's lousy codec
results in the video's quality suffering a good deal, so watch it with
this in mind! It shall look incredible on the DVD, I promise! The
version under the flimography section looks a bit better, but not much.
7-15-07 So, we shot more of "Hip Hop, Cherry Pop" tonight!
Joe
and I managed to wrap up one more amazing scene for the movie using
some new lighting equipment we bought earlier. We're very, very excited
about this project so far and can't wait for the town hall scene today
with everybody. Expect some pictures posted afterwards on the site.
We're
working on posting the newer blogs, but as my computer is dead we'll
need to use Joe's laptop, so hopefully you'll see some new stuff soon!
Until then, stay cool.

7-12-07 We suffered a great loss this week: my editing computer finally died. It's power supply conked out after lasting five years of abuse and flim editing. It shall be missed and most likely fixed up. I'm going to be picking up a new machine soon, but until then video blogs and clips shall be few and far between. Give me two weeks.
"Hip Cop, Cherry Pop" had its third day of shooting two days ago. We have successfully shot over 50% of the movie, so expect a trailer as soon as I get a new computer up and going. It is looking really solid, and the third day of shooting allowed for us to add to our already large cast. Here's to production!
Also, I will be assembling the props and what have you for "The Never Ending Zombie Movie: Part 3" this week, so expect a still or two!
-Kevin
7-9-07 Alright, here's an update on "Hip Hop, Cherry Pop."
We managed to shoot our second day today. While we weren't able to shoot three scenes as we hoped, we did manage to finish 2 strongly. There's stills in the "Hip Hop, Cherry Pop" section, so check it out. There's a video blog on YouTube right now also, so eyeball it!
We're organizing a gathering for our infamous town hall scene next Monday at 3:30 at the Pembroke Rec Center Gym. If you can make it- COME! We need as many people as possible. Everyone is invited- so don't be shy! The address is here , so get some directions if you need them! If you have any questions, email us and we'll work something out. Until then, stay cool and enjoy the summer.
-Kevin
7-7-07 So, what's happened in the last day or so. Well, we managed to pump out another short movie with Rojhelio Studios . Joe and I came up with the story a short while ago, and I shot the movie and edited along with Pat Ryan and Ryan Murphy. It's a goodie, so check it out!
In other news, we'll be shooting some more of "Hip Hop, Cherry Pop" soon, so keep an eye out for a new video blog and stills!
-Kevin
7-6-07 Hey, we're officially http://www.notatadbad.net . Pretty snazy, eh? Hopefully this makes the site easier to approach for the common internet user.

7-5-07 Some minor news for the post Fourth-o-July era.

7-3-07 "Hip Hop, Cherry Pop" has begun!
TJ,
Joe, and myself (Kevin) shot roughly three scenes today. So far the
movie is looking incredible. We all can't wait to shoot some more soon,
but until then you'll just have to wait. Expect a video blog and a
bonus treat sometime in the next 24 hours.
UPDATE: We have a few pictures from our first day posted on the "Hip Hop, Cherry Pop" page, along with our first video blog (which is also on our YouTube Channel ). Plus there's a new Worst Ways To Die! Enjoy!
-Kevin
6-30-07 We've
begun plans for Flim Fest 07 this year, so expect some updates by
July's end. We're aiming for the Beal House in Kingston this year along
with at least three bands to accompany the usual movie and animation
showings. There is actually a page for Flim Fest 07 , so keep an eye on it for any updates.
Also, I added some pages for "Hip Hop, Cherry Pop" , "The Never Ending Zombie Movie: Part 3" , and "Suburban Land Pirates" .
-Kevin
6-28-07 The site got some updates over the past day or so, let's review:
There is now a Community
An About Us
page was added, giving some insight on what Not A Tad Bad Flim Co. is
and where it came from. It'll be a nice history lesson for some.
More profile pages were added under Cast and Crew as well, along with a section for The Worst Ways To Die
under Flims. Content is the conern right now, so we'll keep trying to
flesh out the site with more movies, clips, interviews, and so forth as
time rolls on.
Oh, and one more thing. We have a new video on our YouTube Channel that features a cute kitten. Enjoy it!
-Kevin
6-27-07 Some news in the world-o-flim today.
Joe and I (Kevin) managed to pump out some details on "Hip Hop, Cherry Pop" and will be picking up some final costume supplies soon. Expect a trailer or something in around two weeks with some production stills sooner. Two words: Corn Smith.
In unrelated news, Ché, Joe, and I shot a new Worst Ways To Die on Tuesday, making that six. It'll be online shortly on Google and YouTube, so keep an eye out.
UPDATE: Worst Ways To Die 6 is currently on our YouTube Channel , so go watch and let us know what you think. The Google Video version is under The Flims section now too.
The Worst Ways To Die now have their own section under The Flims , so be sure to check it out.
That's all the news for now, thanks for stopping by the site!
-Kevin
6-25-07 The site has been launched!
Here's out new little home on the internet. While we have a few other locations to find our materials, (videos, groups, forums) they have all been linked from our site directly to the left. Not A Tad Bad will be bringing all of our announcements on projects, parties, premiers, and what have you here. The first month will probably warrant a lot of updates such as a link section to our sister sites, friends, etc, as well as a video blog on our current productions.NotATadBad@gmail.com .
We hope you enjoy everything here. It has always been a dream of ours to get a decent web presence, so let's hope this does the trick and brings our material to a wider audience. Rock on.
