RED SHOES by Susanne Gressmann

will the dialogue be in English or German (i know there'd be subtitles, but still like to hear some German...I took it in high school...and feel I don't use it anymore and like to hear it again)

Good Luck

Rogan
 
Two things: number 1, awesome poster, loved those shoes. Number 2, great grabs. Intense colors there. Can't wait to see this!
 
Thanks Rogan, the dialogue is in German (with English subtitles of course).

Thanks to you too, Existentialist. Glad you liked the poster. There aren't yet any grabs though - you probably saw our cast meeting pic.

I haven't finished looking at all the footage yet, but should post some grabs soon.
 
Uploaded some screen grabs (not yet color corrected):

We are pleased to announce that dvxuser member Luca Antonini will be composing the score for Red Shoes.

Poster updated accordingly.

Apart from that, we are busy editing. Over the last two days, in a fairly relaxed fashion, we shot two small scenes that were missed first time round due to time running out, and also reshot some sequences that had light continuity problems. Originally we had thought of letting these pass, but once the fatigue of the original shoot had passed it seemed to make sense to fill in the holes.
 
Thanks Gohanto. Sorry I only just saw your message. Experimenting with CC? We can certainly talk about it - I'll send you an e-mail.
 
FCE export for CC in After Effects

FCE export for CC in After Effects

Thanks totitefilms and Beat Takeshi.

I have just posted a new thread on the "compression" part of the forum about a little problem we have at present. I'll repeat it here - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Dvxuser member Gohanto has kindly offered to do color correcting. Problem: how to get the files to him and back again with no or neglible loss in quality.

1. We can use yousendit.com to send files of up to 1 GB at a time.
2. We are editing in Final Cut Express. Our files are DVX PAL, 720 x 576, anamorphic (squeeze mode), 25 fps.
3. Gohanto would be using After Effects for color correction.

My export tests show that the best image quality comes from exporting a frame size of 720 x 404 (16:9 ratio). 1024 x 576 (16:9 ratio) gives a lot more jaggies. The best format/codec seems to be a Quicktime movie with jpeg2000 encoding.

However, importing back into FCE requires a 1024 x 576 file - the 720 x 404 file requires resizing. (i.e. "capturing" a 720 x 576 squeeze mode file into FCE with DV/PAL/16:9 anamorphic works fine, but "import" requires a 1024 x 576 file (just like for a still) and this seems not to be compatible with best quality export).

Any thoughts?

We seem to have solved the problem above, so we are pleased to announce that Alex Donkle (dvxuser member Gohanto) is doing our color correcting.

I output a DV-PAL 25fps Quicktime file at the highest settings, 720 x 576, 16:9 ratio. This seems to be the PAL equivalent of a DV/DVCPRO-NTSC file and is native to Final Cut which recognizes the 16:9 ratio on reimport. As far as I can tell, there is no or very little loss in quality. The 6 minute final cut gives a 1.2 GB file which can be sent via yousendit.
 
Congratulations!

Bin schon sehr gespannt auf euren Film.
Die Grabs waren ja schon sehr vielversprechend.

Ich wünsche euch viel Glück.

Frank
 
Thank you very much. Nett auch mal ein paar deutsche Worte zu hören. We are looking also forward to see all the other films. It is so nice to see how many different ideas have all these filmmakers. Your film makes me really curious. Where do you live in Germany?

Best wishes Susanne
 
At the beginning we presented our actors, now is newly time, after we had uploaded Red Shoes, to present the crew behind the camera.
There is "Charming Boban" our sound operator; Jason - always very concentrated with the camera and me (I like colours!!!)
To make a film was very funny and we made a lot of interesting experience. We enjoyed it so much.

Susanne
