Busy week here at OC HQ – hell, the last month has been very busy. Between script rewrites, prop work and location scouting, it really has been all go – and the day job hasn’t helped with that either! Though don’t get me wrong – I love my job and my fellow employees, as well as the support they give in our efforts for the film. They’re all awesome. Anyway – check the jump for more details!

Yesterday an interview with the French-speaking Halo fansite, Halo.fr, went up – and today, the English translation via their forums!
So, if you want to read, head over to Halo.fr to read the interview, in English or French!
Many thanks to Sirkan for an excellent interview. It was a real pleasure.

So, I spent all of yesterday relocating the Warthog. I have now parted ways with Props Studios, and Gumtree 4×4 (the original vehicle suppliers) were kind enough to get the vehicle on a trailer and drive it down to its new home in Portsmouth.

As I’m sure you’re all aware, several chunks of our site are currently empty. We’re currently working on migrating the Warthog build blog over to here from the Props Studios website, and we’ll be putting up profiles of the props and so on as they are completed. The first is on its way from America, and we’ll be doing a write-up and putting up photos once it’s completed!

Things continues as always over here at OC HQ – lots of travelling, meeting lots of people, recruiting… Just last weekend, the main production crew got together for a big chat up in Leeds in the North of England to talk through ideas and direction. It was great getting together and being able to just talk about the movie in detail. It was equally great meeting all the costumiers and model makers from various universities whose degree shows I’ve been attending. Which brings us to the regular update on new crew!

Well, I was hopeful it would happen, but I didn’t expect it to happen quite this soon. Operation Chastity has finally made it into print, in the British edition (and apparently, also the Australian one – thanks trufor18!) of the official X-Box Magazine (OXM, www.oxm.co.uk).

So another busy fortnight rolls by. Progress continues to be made, with the 5th draft of the script being released to the crew and storyboarding in full swing. As time goes on, it’s always funny to think that about 6 or 7 months back, Operation Chastity was a small indie feature with not much besides a Warthog going for it. Oh how times change.

I was interviewed the other day by ‘XMixMasterX’ over at Halo Social about the film, Welsh toilets and Jill Valentine. I could get used to this interview thing. Very cool.
Check it out over here!

For the last month I’ve been having people ask how they can donate to the film – so I finally got round to setting up a donations page. The page can be found on the left hand bar, and there is a little button on the page so you can send donations via paypal.

Today’s the 12th of April, which means I’m 24 today. Shocking. Anyway, having prised myself away from the parties for a little while, I figured I’d update you properly, as I promised I would…
