Thats right folks, the film is finally finished, after problem, after problem, after problem, GG2 is done. The 35 minute feature has been stamped with the ‘Completed’ label. The film will soon be placed on Youtube in parts and I hope you check it out when it is uploaded. The videos will also be posted to the SoleGuv website in the near future.
After over a month of delays, editing of the film has finally resumed, and hopefully shouldn’t take too long to finish off now. One more scene needs to be edited from scratch, and after that it’s just a case of tidying things up. All of the scenes that we’ve seen so far, we’ve been very happy with, and we’re looking forward to seeing the finished article as much as anybody else.
All going well it should only be a couple of weeks until Gene Genie 2 is finally finished.
This is just a quick message to tell you about what stage the editing is at, well it should have been finished this week with commentary and everything but because computers decide to blow up in your face when you like, this has not happened. Chris Mole has been at work editing for a number of months and he was on a roll as of late with the scenes he’d ticked off, but his computers gave up thanks to the strain probably and so Gene Genie 2 is still not finished, it has been delayed but hopefully this week it will get back on track and finished in the next couple of weeks. Keep your fingers crossed and continue to show you support for the film.

This is my first post in a while and it is to update you all on the progress of editing Gene Genie 2 and most importantly letting you know how the film is looking.
If I was Ray then there would be one word to describe how Gene Genie 2 is looking at this moment in time and that word is ‘Cracking’. At this very moment 9 scenes have been put together with two more left to assemble along with the intro sequence and end credits. From the scenes I have watched I have seen something that I feel is going to be very special and is going to be something that I will be proud of for years to come. Each scene by itself could be an amateur film because of the average length of two minutes, this is what makes Gene Genie 2 so special, at the minute with not all of the scenes completed or tidied the length of the film is already 28 minutes! 28 minutes, now that has to be some sort of record, well maybe in terms of Kenton Pupils but it is a good sign nonetheless as I wrote a script I felt was 30 minutes, and because this was my first attempt at writing to a specific length I am very pleased as I have seemed to have done it right.
Each scene is so full of life and energy, the pace at which the scenes go by is great and each person in the scene gives it their all. The film should be completed in a couple of weeks if we stay on schedule and I hope the interest in Gene Genie 2 is still at a high because ‘The Guv is Coming….& This Time, He’s Brought Backup’.
Just a quick post to say that SoleGuv is unblocked at school. I presume that the filters just scan for all the sites powered by wordpress and block them, because they are oviously all bad sites.

Hello there, this is my first post so bare with me and my attempt to write one of these. For those of you who do not know who I am, I am Marc Hutton and I play three different characters, and also myself. I can reveal nothing of the plot except for the fact I am the villian in this amazing production. I am also the presenter of the Outtake Awards which is feature on the DVD release of Gene Genie, further adding The Zimmer to my repertuar, who is an vain arrogant and pompus American/Canadian interviewer - much like myself! I’m just kidding folks - I’m English/Ukranian (oh yes!).
I have also been a writer and cameraman on several occasions when Mr. Mole was unable to attend because his work or sleep caught up with him. The reason for this is that after being (second) picked for the role, I found that this project was very exciting and I will say I enjoyed it. I wanted to me as much involved as I could, which meant occasionally directing or play the role of Annie or filling in for Gene himself! I personally liked playing all 3 roles for different reasons - The villain role was the best to portray due to the fact that whenever I am asked to play someone, I end up being the jacka*s, so this was easy, which makes me feel kind of like a young Alan Rickman, rather a legend in Die Hard and Harry Potter.
Patrick Howard was a name made up by Greg Harrison aka Sam Tyler, and that just sounded good for a random dudes name, and he is the presenter of the Awards, and this guy is rather full of himself and wants to be in the spotlight, even going as far as interrupting the voice guy! And finally we come to Bruce ‘The Zimmer’ Zimmerman. A name made up this time by Martyn Bell, or as you all know him Gene Genie. The team of Zimemr and Sparks is perhaps my favourite, mainly because they are funny and original. Even though they are vain they still can be very professional, even when some interviewees are unwilling to co-operate (DAN!!) they can still get in some good things.
I really enjoyed doing it, the feature presentation, outtake awards, interviews, behind the scenes, it all. I would like to thank the whole crew for putting up with me. considering, i was in 2 scenes yet I decided to tag along and witness them all yay! There have been talks of a Gene Genie 3, which I am always up for, as are several members, but I would like everyone to get their exams out of the way first as a back up plan incase there acting careers fail (except for Martyn, we all know your gonnna make it!). Thanks for reading my first blog thing or whatever it is, I hope I will be able to write more.
Good Night and God Bless!
Here’s the Gene Genie 2 Behind The Scenes Preview, put together by the Guv himself, Martyn Bell.
The Behind the Scenes Special will be looking at exactly what went on while we were making Gene Genie 2.
Just a quick update on the progress of the film, what’s done and what’s not.
We’re still working on the main film, editing is taking slightly longer than first expected, but we haven’t forgot about it! Give it a couple more weeks, you won’t be disappointed!
We have been making good progress elsewhere however, the Cast Interviews and Behind the Scenes Specials are finished, and trailers for both are available on YouTube, just check out our channel. Alternatively, saying you’re here, you can always check them out here at SoleGuv.com as well.
Also finished are The Gene Genie 2 Outtake Awards, which see the cast nominated for various awards for performances during filming. We decided on this instead of going for a standard conventional blooper reel, as these can become a bit boring after a while, and we wanted to try something different.
We’ll post again when Gene Genie 2 is close to being finished.
Hey hey, so Gene Genie 2 has been filmed and is now being edited into the epic that it is going to be. But Gene Genie 2 isn’t the only thing you can look forward to, there is also going to be a Behind the Scene feature and also a cast interviews feature.
The cast interviews are hosted by the well known duo of Bruce Zimmerman and Therman Sparks, they are very famous for their big egos and also for making Chuck Norris cry. To wet your appetite here is a the link to the trailer for the interviews. Please watch and comment.
