Envision & RebeccaD Present "Where Silence Falls"

Yeah, we should have had a camera rolling on Norm for the last 48 hours.... that would have been a great dramafest entry!

best to you guys! (and gals!)

I've done everything I can, believe me. So much stuff has happened that's just been out of my control (I don't believe I'll ever do another project where I'm not the editor/uploading the footage from the get-go ... I can't stand not having the control & just doing it myself ... for reasons like this), but I've tried to recover the best I can ...

That said, we MAY be out. I just posted in the DramaFest discussion thread, where it sounded like we may have a BIT of a soft deadline ... I hope so, because I'm currently rendering out this file, but it's now saying it'll take 2.5 hours to render, which will put me JUST past midnight ... and that's just for the AVI file. From there, I still need to import it to Quicktime 7 Pro for the H.264 file that's required.

Anyone want to share what bit-rate they've set theirs at to get a good looking file at under 40MB? What size are you folks submitting as well?

Thanks for the warm wishes everyone ... I'd hate it if all this work & stress goes to waste, not being able to get it into the fest.:badputer:

You have no idea ... I've shared with Rebecca some of the behind the scenes, specifics about a temper tantrum I quickly threw last night, etc. Some humerous moments, I'm sure.
 
Dude, you CAN'T be DQ'd for being late. It's late but keep at it. You may remember during horrorfest that many were allowed to enter after the deadline.

Geoff R. was my saviour during that time for me. I was ready to drop and he wouldn't let me. I'm not letting you!

KEEP WORKING ON THAT FILE!

Don't even look at that clock (unless you have to go to work in the morning but even still!)

KEEP AT IT!!!!

You will be in the fest.
 
Dear Mr Envision,

We desperatley need to see this film.

That is all :=)

MAKE SURE TO CHECK OUT TTN THATS THREADING THE NEEDLE.......

Thanks, Ted, but I've got to work out with Rebecca's husband in the morning (my workout buddy), and I know she wouldn't want me to miss it or not be up to par from not getting enough sleep.

So..... we'll just have to bow out of this contest.






KIDDING! No, I'll stay up as late as I have to and hope & pray that they'll let us slip it in a few hours late. It's the best I can do at present, and that doesn't even allow any poor render issues, etc (which I HOPE don't occur).

LOL, thanks Michael. Looks like I'll have some time to catch up on these threads now, since I've got nothing but render time ahead of my on the other PC.

Wait, on second thought, I should go spend time with my wife, whom I've pretty much neglected the last several days trying to save this thing ... um, yeah..... I'll be back soon, though. :)

:nads: Yeah, thought that might raise a hair or two. I DO want to get bigger pecks (I've been told girls like these?), but not at the cost of kissing off a month's worth of work.

Seriously, thanks folks for all the encouragement ... VERY much appreciated!:love4:

My stomach literally dropped when I read that... I thought you were serious. I wanted to scream or something. lol. I'm big on fitness myself but haven't been going the past week or so due to dramafest and trying to get the film done. I've lost a good 5 lbs from not working out and eating properly.

EDIT...okay maybe not 5 lbs, that'd be real bad in a week timespan...but it sure as heck feels like it!
 
Damn, I am still spinning at that one! "I have to go workout with Rebecca's husband..."

You sounded so sincere! You must be a bit of an actor yourself.
 
Glad I could entertain ... man, I'd never be able to show my face on DVXuser again, if I did that. I'd be 'Ass-Hat' of the year for sure, lol.

Okay, SERIOUSLY ... going to spend time with my wife now. So hard to pull .... myself ... away.....

I'll let you be the judge of that when you see the film ... although I'll clearly state that Rebecca stole the show.

Once the films are up, I'm going to post the raw clip of her take where she just nailed it with emotion. I want to show it because the camera is on her the entire time, vs. in the film where we had to cut back to my character's expressions, etc. You will all get absolute chills, if not full on tears.
 
Can't wait to see that. And d'oh! I forgot!!! You ARE an actor! (I've spaced that with all of your post production work lately!)

Really looking forward to your films here.

Best to you all... You, Ryan, Rebecca... and your entire crew(s)!

Now go see your wife. I'm off to see mine!
