We’ve now added some of the fight choreography videos from Depleted: Day 419, as well as a short interview with Depleted’s Kat Carney about why she enjoyed working on Depleted: Day 419.
Check them out at the World of Depleted YouTube Page.
The Gavin Hesterdale Journal…
The brilliant Gavin Hesterdale was the investigative journalist who trained Jenna Whitmore. A year before the Fall, Gavin had a religious experience and started having prophetic visions of the future. He spoke of a “lawless apocalypse” and a future cataclysm that would rend man to his very foundations. Unfortunately, no one would listen to him. Cut off from the rest of humanity, he became a hermit who lives in the wilderness, attempting to master the ways to survive.
His journal gives insight into the things he knew were coming and the information that can help you survive the reality of the Fall. The ink and chalk drawings from his dreams, give a chilling look at what is to come!

First color grading session for Depleted: Day 419…
While we continue to work on the audio and score for Depleted: Day 419, I sat down with DP Nate Eckelbarger today to begin creating the final look for the riveting gun battle, as well as the overall color grade for the film. While additional work will be done to perfect this, we’ve made a lot of headway and are excited by how things are coming along.
Who is Gavin Hesterdale?
The secret of Jenna’s enigmatic mentor, Gavin Hesterdale, and his amazing predictions of the Fall will begin to be revealed starting on Monday, July 19th. Only by knowing how it all began, can you hope to survive the way it will end!
Narration recorded on Saturday…
Kat Carney’s narration for Depleted: Day 419 was successfully recorded at Oakwood Sound Design on Saturday. She was a trooper despite the fact that she was struggling with a sore throat. To combat that, we helped her keep going on a fluid regimen of hot herbal tea and honey.
In the end, it all went well and we’re excited to be able to get a final timing cut on the film with the final narration.
Narration and score composing started on Depleted: Day 419…
This Saturday we’ll be recording final narration for Depleted: Day 419 at Oakwood Sound Design. At the same time, composer Steven Vaught is beginning his work on the score for Depleted: Day 419.

As I’m working on the Depleted: Day 419 edit, we’re also working to get a teaser trailer set up. When it goes live, you’ll be able to get the first flavor of the World of Depleted. Additionally, filmmaker Ben Nash will be creating a teaser for his short set in the Depleted world in the near future as well!
More on this as it develops!
Rough Cut Wrap Party Dynamic Success…
The rough cut wrap party of Depleted: Day 419 was a great success last night.
A good showing of the cast and crew enjoyed getting to chat with one another after the film wrapped, watched an ultra-sneak peak of the rough cut of Depleted: Day 419, and exchanging favorite stories from the filming for the behind-the-scenes camera.
New ideas for possible collectors’ editions of the DVD of the film were exchanged, including a severely limited edition that will feature some insane extras for the most devout fans. The showing helped clarify a lot of the next steps for the Depleted: Day 419 film as it gets closer to a locked cut!
