Principle Photography of "Last Touch" shot & wrapped

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008
Steven Dempsey, Director of Photography, captures all footage & gets it into U.S. Postal system for delivery to Norm Sanders, Director, to begin rough cut.

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008
Norm receives hard drive from Steven. Will begin editing after Thanksgiving. Temporary poster posted, as well as thumbnails/screen grabs of non-cc'd footage.

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008
Norm begins sorting footage for rough cut. Rough cut edit begins.

Monday, December 15th, 2008
Norm still laboriously works through rough edit, while in the midst of looking for work ... and Christmas shopping (an awesome combination!). It should be noted that Norm has a very linear editing process, so by the time the 1st draft is cut (rough cut), it's usually pretty close to a locked edit. Hoping to have the locked edit out for further post work within the next week (Score/VFX). Have rec'd extremely positive feedback on the edit, thus far.

Saturday, December 20th, 2008
Have uploaded the full edit for review by Steven, and to get a second eye on the film. Current run time is approximately 8 minutes. We'll have a full length cut, and I'm quite confident we can have a solid 6 minute cut of this as well for the LossFest. Once the locked edit is in place for the full cut, I'll immediately cut the 6 minute version (1-2 days, tops), and send both to Justin, having him score the 8 minute, then lap that in hopefully without too much work for the 6 minute version.

What camera was this shot with? Canon XHA1 with Letus Ultimate and Nikon primes.

Did anything weird happen [while filming at a reportedly 'haunted location']? No, but it's a cool story. See the following post: http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showpost.p...4&postcount=23

More Q&A to come....

Brandon Rice · 11-25-2008, 01:17 PM

wow... excited

Michael Anthony Horrigan · 11-25-2008, 01:17 PM

Hey, Norm! You're not acting in this one?
Can't wait to see the grabs! I see that you have already shot this puppy. Nice work.

Simon and Justin on board = Awesome.

Really looking forward to this one.
Best of luck, man.

Cheers,

Mike

I have to say I love working with Norm. He has the exact same sense of dry wit that I do and it makes both of us appear like we are little evil elves on set

This was a very ambitious shoot but we managed to get everything done. I've got a tungsten tan on the back of my neck to prove it. A good cast and crew is important to the final film, of course, but they also make it a much better experience in production. What a great bunch of people, all willing to jump in and do whatever was necessary to get the job done.

Although I was completely fatigued at the end of the day, when I woke up Monday, I wanted to do it all over again...so that's saying something.

Brandon Rice · 11-25-2008, 01:27 PM

Steve shot this? Wow... didn't realize... double awesome!

Tom Marshall · 11-25-2008, 01:28 PM

It's about time!

Good to see Steven was the DP. He's a madman.

Oh cool, Simon too... I'll look forward to see what he brings to the table...
