Our goal right now is to get the 3D castle complete. Sometime next week we will upload a photo of the progress. Hopefully once the castle is created, we can start working on fundraising materials to spread the word beyond the blog . . .

We got a peek at the in-progress 3D rendering of Rait castle today. The tower and one wall is complete. It looks fantastic so far. Once complete we will post an actual photo. Rait castle is being built using Strata Design 3D.

An official logo to represent the movie in underway and some sketches should be ready by the end of the week. The designer is talented and seems to understand what we are looking for. Fingers crossed.

The first 5 scenes have been written - about 20 to 25 minutes worth of video. Also, the tentative budget is near complete. And the final touches are being put onto the funding package. Progress is being made slowly but surely. I imagine the longest part of the process will be in securing funding to turn this project into a reality. But we are taking things one step at a time.

If anyone wants to provide feedback, insight, or suggestions please feel free to do so.

The script is underway and the funding package is slowly coming together. Hopefully we'll have more to showcase by the end of the month. For now, just little updates on our progress. As always volunteers are welcomed and appreciated.

To get this movie project going
we will need time and talent from:

1. Researchers and History buffs - to confirm names, dates, places, clothing, shoes, home decor (light sources, tables, chairs, storage containers, etc.)

2. An additional writer/director - to take the story from the pages to the big screen

To the left is the story in summary from "The Caledonian: Volume 16" pgs. 303 & 329. This is the event the movie will be based on.

Possible Main Characters:
Comyn Chief (Alexander?)
Mackintosh Chief (Name?)
Boy Lover (Name?)
Girl Lover (Name?)

Other Characters:
Comyn Chief Wife
Comyn Followers
Mackintosh Chief Wife
Mackintosh Followers

Any ideas or suggestions are always welcome.

It should also be noted that anyone who takes part in this project no matter how small or large will be listed in the end credits.
