dav — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:12:31 +0000

DAV Productions is getting ready to film another short film in the next month. Without the confines of the “48 Hour Film Project”, we will have the opportunity to really spend time nailing down the script and ensuring that the entire production is top notch. A date for production hasn’t been set yet, but we will be filming on location at DAV Production in our Studio, construction a set to look like we are high up in a New York City loft.

Look for more soon.

Project Pony is still galloping along, with episode two getting closer and closer to being filmed.

After winning several awards at the 48 Hour Film Project, DAV was back behind the camera shooting a commercial for CHSI. Following the style of the popular “24″, CHSI’s commercial follows the step by step process of their business from all angles. It is currently being edited, so look for it on our Media page soon.

Coming up in the next couple of weeks is a project codenamed “Project Pony”. While details of the project are being kept a secret, I can tell you that it has nothing to do with ponies. More soon…
