WHERE THE HEART LIES ... Johnson, Hyten, Golden & Bullis

Whoa, that looks amazing! I really can't wait to see this one.

It seems, that this time your flic lives up to my expectations after reading this thread :) Don't get wasted to the end :D
 
Those are without any image correction, of course. Tim and I have been working through two instructional DVDs on Apple's COLOR so that we can give this film the best color grading possible. It goes without saying that Geoff's work blew us away. He put so much effort into our interiors and it really paid off. We got supberb performances from our actors. Ana Alexander is simply amazing and she really elevated the piece to a level that we didn't dream we would achieve.

Yeah, they look good. Go easy on the CC. It's often WAY overused in my opinion.

Many thanks, Jack. We do know that this one will be a huge improvement over what we've done in the past and that's what really matters. Any time we can look back and see where we've addressed past failings is a big deal. This time we set out to really work on preparation and preproduction and it made a huge difference (duh!) The last festival saw us basically trying to make an effects-driven film in less than a week and it was a good lesson (more like spanking).

We also made a deliberate attempt to analyze the success of others and we deconstructed several of your shorts, Jack. Whether or not we even come close remains to be seen.

I suppose I have some trepidation since I believe we nailed the image and acting elements and are, thus, left with our script and our editing to sink or swim. However, we take some heart in the fact that Ana Alexander said that the quality of the script was a big factor in her decision to come on board. We got some very good notes from some of the members here and developed a much stronger story arc than what our original script presented.

Now we only have a final scene to shoot next Sunday and we'll be officially wrapped.

Thanks and, indeed, it was a fabulous time. Yesterday it was a little tense as we elected to steal a shot at a particular location. I took Bullis and Ian (sound) to a bar while the rest of the team shot and I got hammered on Dewars while all the time expecting a phone call from Tim telling me to come deal with the authorities.
