More Stills and Updates on Episode III

So this past week I had a somewhat tragic event befall me. I was essentially done editing the majority of the footage for Episode III when my external hard drive fell off my desk and disconnected during an editing session. As a result of this, my Episode III file was erased and a week's worth of editing was shot down the drain. Although I managed to keep all of my clips intact, select clips were damaged (see the still above), they were all knocked out of order and all of my edits were deleted. 

Because of this event, my spirits have been pretty down. However, I have re-begun the process of editing and I am getting close to where I was when all of this happened. Still, it has delayed things somewhat.

Tonight is the last night of filming for Episode III. If all goes well (i.e. if I don't get screwed over again), it should be online later this coming week. Cross your fingers.

Until then, enjoy some new stills from this past week of shooting. You get to see more of Bruce and Brenningworth, along with Cami Roebuck as a new character named Gwenith (though she isn't completely new; she appeared briefly in Episode II).



Look for Episode III here later this coming week.
