Skulduggery Pleasant Short - The Button

So the time is finally here guys and gals, The Button is going full throttle. I have a crew confirmed, a casting call has been put out on the website starnow (here’s the link if you want to apply: https://www.starnow.co.uk/listing/1035642 ) and location scouting is underway. If all goes well the short will be out on December 21st.

SKULDUG EP1 UPDATE 1

Okay guys, here’s the very first update about the pilot, although it’s not really about the pilot (sorry). 

Firstly I want to let you guys in on a little update on the schedule I have. Remember the script for “The Button” that I mentioned. Well I’ve decided to use that as a test of sorts for the production of the Pilot. I am going to be making “The Button” short between now and November and I’ll probably put a starnow listing up for casting of the characters between now and August. Once production actually gets underway I’m hoping to wrap up filming >1 month after casting. This will hopefully work as a miniaturised version of what I want the production of the Pilot to be like.

Secondly I wanted you all to know that all future updates regarding the skulduggery pleasant pilot episode will be published on my sort of portfolio, sort of showcase account: vaikriya

I’ll be using that blog as a sort of production diary for when things get going so make sure to stay updated. 

You can also feel free to send asks or private message me on that blog.

Apart from this I imagine the next major update will come in July/August when or after casting the characters. 

Hoping all goes well, and I hope you’ll all wish me luck.

Okay so change of plans for the Tanith short film

Okay guys, I’ve decided to change my mind on the Tanith Low short film. I’m not doing it, people I’ve been speaking to have said that it would be too much work and I won’t be able to do it without the help of an actual vfx team and the like. 

So I decided to ignore everything they said and instead of dropping it I’m going to broadening the project and make a full 40-60 min Pilot episode of Skulduggery Pleasant. I am currently writing a longer script for the project and it will include what used to be the Tanith Low short film as an introduction to her character in the episode. While writing I am also trying to get in contact with Derek for his permission to make and submit this for university, and if I can’t I’ll have to delay until 2021.

However, if everything goes according to plan I will also be attempting to save a budget for the project and learn what I can to try and do some stuff myself (saving me money). I will also be pitching the project to my university’s project funding comity, or whatever it’s called, come November-ish, I may also start a crowdfunding campaign if need be. 

The plan at the moment is for the episode to cover from chapter 1 to chapter 9 of book 1, with a little bit of rearranging for it to work better on screen. I also have a few ideas for adapting more in the future if it goes well.

Apart from this project I was also sent a script for “The Button” short story from Armageddon out of here and will hopefully doing that alongside this.

And everything here will hopefully going into full production in January

I’m hoping all goes well and I hope everyone will support me on this.

And if you want to keep informed about the project I will be using the tags #skuldugTV and #skuldugep1 for all updates on this project.
