Filming Date Set for Creatura Series Cinematic Trailer

Good day to you!

As I stated in my previous post, a filming date for The Creatura Series live action trailer has been set. Some of you may freak out about the date, but not me. I think it's a super lucky day. Everyone take a deep breath. Ready? Here goes...

The scheduled date to shoot the trailer is 

Friday, November 13, 2015. 

YES! IT'S FRIDAY THE 13TH!

Is anyone freaking out yet? I'll give you a few minutes to compose yourselves.

You should be good, I think. Let's proceed.

Because I've had questions concerning the process of producing a trailer, I decided to give you an insight of all the work that's been put in by Timid Monster to make this trailer happen. If you've been keeping up with me, you know that there are a lot of steps involved, as well as lots of time invested in each of these steps. So, let's recap, shall we?

First, we worked on the script. I gave Dan Baker, the director, an idea of what it was I was looking for in a trailer, and he whipped up a rough draft of the script. Ideas were tossed around, and after a few changes, the script was finalized. 

Second, I licensed the music. It's a very awesome song I found by mere luck and fell in love with. I'll tell you more about the artist in another update.

Third, it was time to look for the talent. Oh man...  I believe I told you before how I obsess over every single, minute detail? If you didn't know this, now you do. Luckily, I had the best and nicest and most patient casting director to work with—Katie. I'm sure at some point she dreaded my emails, but she pulled through, like a boss. So let's take a moment to applaud and thank Katie. After all, she's the one responsible for casting these lovelies:

Shane Christopher Hudson cast as "The Demon"

Madison Atkinson cast as "Isis"

Sean Carter cast as "David"

The fourth step was designing wardrobe for the characters. There were details, details, and more details concerning attire, props, scenes, special effects, camera speed... You name it, I thought of it, because you know how I obsess over all the details. However, I decided to be reasonable this time, though secretly, I wished I could add more. Even then, I thought I was overdoing it, because I have a tendency to over do everything. Seriously, it's even in my author bio. So there I was, thinking I was asking for too much when I told Dan what I'd like to see in the trailer. I thought he'd say, "Can't be done." Boy, was I wrong! After I told him all the ideas that were whirling around in my head, he shot me back emails adding more awesomeness to the wardrobe, props, etc. Thank you, Dan! *Wardrobe is still being worked on, btw. 

Until now, this is all I have to tell you about the process of producing a book trailer. Next, we wait for the filming date, and then the editing process begins. But wait, there's more...

Q&A and GIVEAWAY:

There's a good chance that the actors can do quick interviews, if time permits. But we need questions submitted before the filming date. Are there questions you'd like to ask the cast or the Timid Monster crew? Go to my Facebook Page and ask your question as a comment. Every question gets an entry to the giveaway for the Creatura t-shirt pictured at the top of this post (sizes S-3XL available).

Update on the Creatura Series Live Action Trailer

Hello again!

I thought it was time to post an update on all that's transpired since my last post about The Creatura Book Series live action trailer, being produced by the wonderful people over at Timid Monster. 

First off, let me tell you that finding actors to cast is hard work. I tip my head to casting directors all over the world, especially the very patient Katie who had to put up with an obsessive, perfectionist author named Nely Cab who wouldn't rest until she got what she wanted. Sometimes, it's so hard being me. Alas, it appears we've found a perfect fit for the characters in the trailer. And I. AM.  ECSTATIC. 

As production progresses, I'll be dropping in with more updates about who's been cast, what roles they'll play, and even about the song and artist that will be used in the trailer. I'm sure you've already heard tons from me about Timid Monster, but I'll let you know more about what they do in a post, as well. 

Thanks so much for keeping up with me and taking the time to visit. Have a good one!

Creatura Series Book Trailer in Pre-Production

Hola, Bonjour, Ciao, Aloha, Yasas, Nin Hao, and Hello!

A few months ago I announced I had to postpone the production of The Creatura Book Series Cinematic Trailer. I was pretty bummed about it. But today, here I am again with an update: I'm happy and excited to announce pre-production has officially begun! Timid Monster's award-winning director Dan Baker will be directing the project and overseeing production. 

Although, I don't know an official release date, I can tell you that so far, we've licensed the music (which I totally love) and spoken about wardrobe and the screenplay, as well as some other cool video editing stuff that'll be a cool surprise for both you and me. I can't wait to share more as the project develops. 

However, I'm curious to know from you, my readers, if you were directing this project, what would your vision be for the book trailer?

ARV-3 by Cameo Renae to become Sci-fi Film by Timid Monster

Welcome to a New Age!

Cameo Renae and Timid Monster have teamed up to bring you the thrilling story of Abigail and her life in a new age where radiation is a daily threat and creepy monsters lurk. This Sci-fi film is currently raising funds on Kickstarter. I am a fan of both Cameo's and Timid Monster's work. I believe that Timid Monster, being an award-winning film maker, will portray ARV-3 so impressively that I am a backer in this project, as well—a big backer... I'm an Associate Producer. That's one of the reasons this project is so important to me. The other reason is that I would love to see Abigail's story on the big screen. Wouldn't you? 

The good news is, you can be part of this this 

exciting collaborative venture, too! 

Your contribution, as little as it may be, can help bring the story to the world. As a bonus for your pledge, you'll receive awesome perks, which you can read about on the Kickstarter project page. There's just one tiny problem: we're on a time limit! All pledges totaling $7500 for the project must be in no later than April 17, 2014 (12:45 PM CST). As of the time of this post, the ARV-3 film project is short $3000, and we only have 16 days to fund it. 

I encourage you to check out the teaser trailer below, and then make your way to

On behalf of Cameo Renae and myself, 

thank you!

Nely
