In the last few months we have been busy working on two brand new episodes of Cops and Monsters. “Revolution in a Teacup” by James T Harding and “Fight the Bite” by Laura Anderson.

Revolution in a Teacup is currently being edited and we hope to send it off for visual effects, sound design and music in the next couple of weeks. You can watch the trailer for that here.

Meanwhile episode 6, “Fight the Bite” has finished filming and you can have a little exclusive look at it in the video above.

We hope to raise some funds to shoot our Christmas special, “Astrid’s Secret”, written by Roland Moore, in November to be released sometime in December.

Then we’ll be taking a Winter hiatus before returning to shoot the final episode of Volume 1 in Early 2017!

That’s a wrap on episode 6!

“Fight the Bite” by Laura Anderson took two days to film with our cast and crew. It was certainly an ambitious episode, with 25 pages shot over the two days. A massive congratulations to the team.

We faced a few issues such as time restraints and location issues but this is part and parcel with any production, yet seems magnified when you’re an indie project with a low budget.

The team worked extremely hard to overcome these problems and we’ve got all the footage in the can!

So what’s next for “Cops and Monsters”?

We’ll be at MCM Comic Con Scotland on the 24th and 25th of September, with our cast and crew panel on the Saturday, selling some merchandise and promoting the series.

Episode 5, “Revolution in a Teacup”, is currently being edited and we hope to release in October.

We’re hoping to raise some more money so we can shoot our Christmas episode, “Astrid’s Secret” by Roland Moore.

Next year we’ll aim to shoot a couple more minisodes to expand our show’s universe before returning to Volume 1 in May to shoot our 7th main episode, bringing to a close Volume 1 and the PITS’ case against Lycan A202 and The Cult of Many Faces… for now.

To everybody who has supported us, we thank you. We wouldn’t have this show without you.

What a jam-packed day it was yesterday! Starting at 8.30am, cast and crew met at the Orkney Street Enterprise Centre to film our PITS cell scenes with Maya and Alexis, played by Ellen Patterson and Innes Anderson. Everybody worked really hard to make sure we shot all of our scenes in time before moving onto the Hub at Pacific Drive to film the opening and closing of episode 6…

Moving on to The Hub we met with guest star Katrina Bryan and our monster extras and started to set up the track for the supernatural support group scenes which will open and close episode 6.

Everybody worked extremely hard and brilliantly as we went through the shot list to make sure we had everything for the edit!

We wrapped at 5.30pm after we got all of our shots and headed home! Ready to start again next Saturday and finish the episode!

Episode 5 – “Revolution in a Teacup” – is in the edit and will soon be sent off for music and visual effects! Once we have a release date, we’ll let you all know!
