Mission Slightly Difficult Sneak Peak

 By NigelBlackthorne

 

The real life gathering at There headquarters in San Mateo had many highlights for me, one in particular was the screening of the sneak peak for Mission Slightly Difficult.  I had been involved in a few minor parts during the shooting so I had particular interest in the project…a joint project of writer Rick_Slick, There filmmaker Francis_7, Disky and the rest of the Miracle Pictures group.  Shot almost a year ago, the long anticipated feature length movie, filmed entirely in There is still being edited but the sneak peak revealed to the attending audience just what a treat is in store when the final cut is ready. 

One of the conference rooms at There headquarters was set up for the screening.  Francis_7 first showed a version of Brock Lee that his students had participated in making at the school where he teaches.  It was followed by the half hour or so sneak peak at Mission Slightly Difficult presented in full screen DVD format.  The audience reaction was amazing…the eruptions of laughter and awe at the quality of the movie and the awesome special effects.  I can’t say enough about how much the crowd enjoyed the sneak peak, in particular the many There staff members who were there.  The blue-nose humor of Rick was in evidence throughout the clip and the filmmaking talents of Francis combined to show that the final cut of MSD is likely to be light-years ahead of previous efforts in There filmmaking. 

According to Francis_7, the editing of the movie is continuing although there was no set date for its release.  He indicated that the movie may be the first feature length movie made entirely in a virtual world…his estimate is that it might be as long as an hour and 45 minutes.  At the end of the screening he passed out DVD copies of the sneak peek in DVD cases which were very cleverly labeled…as good as you would find in your local video rental store. 

All in all it was a great success and one of the many highlights of the real life gathering.  We will keep you all informed on the progress of the movie and its much anticipated premiere.
