Kirok said:I have temporally suspended all pre-production and casting decisions on this project while I am grieving over the loss of my kind and loving father.
I'm not quitting... but need time to heal.
I will do my best to return to my duties as quickly as I am able to.
Sincerely,

Kirok said:Today we had our first REAL pre-production meeting where my team and I sat down and tried to figure out the challenges of creating all the sets and props needed. It was so exciting to officially get the ball rolling!! :hurray:
The set that I was most worried about was the Control Room. I was considerably worried about the Control Panel itself, and the entrance to the Imaging Chamber. Thank GOD for my beloved team because they had the entire game plan down in about 20 minutes. It was so unbelievable how they dissected the pictures from the QL set. I was amazed. (I was honestly expecting it to be as difficult as our bridge set built for our 'Star Trek vs. Batman' series.)
One of the first comments made by our chief designer was “They must have been on a budget.” as he and two of my other designers began to dissect the set and handlink in great detail. These guys are absolutely amazing, folks. Not only can we recreate this set to exact detail, but it will look absolutely phenomenal. Its amazing how many tricks set designers can come up with to recreate certain pieces and props.
The Control Panel will be built using mainly clear acrylic materials. We’re also pretty sure what these colored boxes are atop the Control Panel…

Office storage units. At least that’s our best guess. They were widely produced in the late 80’s, and are off the market now. And see the silver looking backdrop? You would be amazed at how easy that is to reproduce!!
While I don’t want to give away any trade secrets just yet, we can effectively reproduce an authentic working handlink (no sounds) for under $70, complete with blinking lights. Don’t worry, I’ll pass along a “how to” later in the summer as we are constructing sets and props.
Our next pre-production meeting is set for March 29th where we’ll figure out where this set will be constructed, and how many materials we’ll need. Also, our open auditions are scheduled to take place on the same day, and you all should see the applicants that are rolling in… every one of them are tagged with “I loved Quantum Leap!!” One of our candidates was even in "Risky Business"!
Lots of excitement to come, folks.Stay tuned!!

Joshua Ramsey looks too young to be Sam Beckett especially if he is supposed to have fathered a full grown Samantha Fuller.
Cute guy.Kirok said:Thanks Janna! It is going to be way cool and I can't wait to shoot this!
No, no Donna in this one unfortunately. I wish I could have put all the classic characters in this one.
We had our first cast rehearsal yesterday here at our ranch, and had a fantastic time! Here are some pictures!

I'm so glad we have a three month head-start on this. One can never have enough planning and pre-production!
