The Door Between - a story about life and death

Way to Go MATT!!! I ve just started doing my noise removal with AE following Matt Sconce's guidance (see his thread on Stricken) and all I can say is WOW! I've had A LOT of noise in my movie due to lack of proper lighting etc. so this has come really handy. Now I have to wait to render 11minutes and that will take a while.....

ps. does anyone know of a nice online tutorial for AE?

As a warm tear runs down my left cheek, I am proud to announce that I've just finished editing the movie and CCing as well.

Congratulations! Good luck with the titles.
 
Oh I have done the titles already, the titles is something I really like coz they are embedded with the intro....so you get something like 1 minute of the movie that is titles + story....I really loved my titles.....but I guess I'll do some end credits as well....
 
It's glad to know that most post-production is so close to be finished. The thing is that I feel kind of guilty because I can't really help at this stage (except lifting John's morale). It's weird just waiting for all this work to be finished and can only hear about CC, effects, filters and stuff (and maybe recommend some things even I don't know if they 're feasible or not). :huh:

It's not that I don't find these things interesting but I really, realy don't have the time to have a proper look and learn about this part of work, and even if I knew it I believe that it is better for one person to work on an entire project and complete it in his own vision than actually edit in different styles etc. And John IS the man for this job... :thumbup:

I suppose I have to make up for it while recording the voices, someday this week, along with Jim (John's brother) and act a little... just for a change! :Drogar-Thinking(DBG

Actually, it was a really strange w/e for both John and I, no need to get into much details, even though for me it ended on a high note. :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)

At the bottom line, a new week has started already in Athens (Monday counts 1 hour and 42 minutes of life), and since I am an optimistic person I believe that everything will end up well and in time... :)

My bed is calling me... Ciao!

P/S: When, last week, I saw the unedited version of our last takes I turned to John and said: "Hey man, I believe that if we edit the right parts we can make a great comedy out of it"... So, DVD Version Spoiler: Lots and lots of funny extras :evil:
 
Good morning and a great week to all of you. It's the final countdown for many of us these days...

I am at the office right now and left my PC to render in A.E. the grain removal, however I encountered some severe problems with applying it (actually rendering it) correctly. I hope Matt will help me out on this one.

I watched parts of the final edited version of my movie and I must admit I was OK with it...even though I was quite bitter with what we've done on Sunday....

I am quite certain that when we do the sounds and music, everything will fall into place and we'll have an end result that we're not totally ashamed of :P lol!

Good to hear.

Dosn't it feel good when everything pulls together after all that hard work.:Drogar-Smoke(DBG):
 
It certainly does! However every time I finish a project I cant wait to get started on a new one and put in use all the things I learned from the last one!

I just had a conversation over the phone with my brother about the score and decided to go in the poser-rock-80s direction that I think will be great.... I have total confidence in him on this part of the movie and am very excited to give him the opportunity to let his work be known to all of you, I tell you, he is one tough sound engineer/musician!
 
I came home at 1.30 AM from work (oh yeah baby) and found that the exported file from A.E. with the remove grain was AGAIN a piece of crap...so I followed Wise Matt's advice and this morning I woke up to find it OK!!!! So now WE CAN MOVE ON !!!!!!!!!

:) :) :)

Glad I could help dude! :thumbup: :)
 
I just listened to a very very rough idea of what my brother is thinking of doing for the score...it rocks! as I expected, music and sound are going to be awesome!
 
So I am finally home, happy that all I have to do tonight is make the end credits (just a roll down) and export in QT wide to take to my brother's studio tomorrow to edit sound. And I play the movie only to find that there is a lousy vfx that I put but didnt really watch when rendered to notice how lousy it is (did I mention it was lousy?) and also I didnt pay attention to a cross dissolve I put somewhere that 'revealed' part of the footage that wasnt supposed to be revealed....

so back to the editing suite now to edit AGAIN..export uncompressed AGAIN....remove grain AGAIN....AGAIN ...AGAIN....
