OK.. So I got a VERY rough cut of everything we have so far (one more day to shoot) and it's coming together nicely. I'm watching it right now....

...Trim that.

... try a different take.

Editing is exciting to see it come together, but frustrating when I see how much I f'd up. Especially the stuff that I was aware of on set and thought it wouldn't matter.. and IT DOES. ooops. I guess that's why I do this- TO LEARN.

I'm excited to announce I have secured Neal Acree as composer. He will Rock 'the House.

... Back to it.
 
Congrats on the rough cut. I hear ya on the whole "I'm in the edit room and I don't have the coverage I thought I had". I have to admit, my weak point is directing - shot lists? storyboards? what are those? I learned a ton, though, and that's what keeps me coming back to these fests.
 
Hello everyone! Finally got around to registering.

Chris Shumway here - 1st AC/Associate Producer/Set design/Post-shoot Beer Runner for "Anti De Presence"

I've been trolling the forums for some time now, reading up on everyone's film adventures from this year's fest. It is great knowing that there are other people in the same boat as you are, overcoming filmmaking obstacles while at the same time still loving their art. I look forward to future DVXuser endeavors and perhaps working with some of you!

You guys seemed to like the behind the scenes posts, so here is another one - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95pguuGEz1I This is the making of the dolly, featuring Will the wonderful welder. He also happens to be our dolly grip for the shooting days.

There will be more behind the scenes updates coming soon, I hope the last few weeks of filming go smoothly for everyone.
 
YEAH! Mojo Nixon. How did you come up with that one? Glad to see you're on board here. (pun intended)

Now only 49 more posts till you can vote.
 
Hello!

I have just read your entire thread here... really great stuff. I love the script-delivered blog. excellent. (seems like I missed a heck of an opening!!! someone will have to fill me in later.)

I love the artwork, the poster!!! and the enthusiasm here. So glad that I stumbled on this. (funny, too. I just clicked on DVXuser, saw "Mojo Nixon" and your excellent use of titling your thread on the mair page. I loved Mojo Nixon back in the 80's so I had to click. Now I see Mojo is your teammate. Excellent! Welcome Chris!)

Many kudos to your innovative and inspiring creations here.

Best!

Thanks Ted!

I hope I can live up to everyones expectations.... especially my own. (those are the hardest)


I've realized that the sound design will be Mucho Importanto to this piece, like another character. I played around with some music last night, and isn't it amazing how it can change the feeling of a scene so much? I worked in scoring for years and still I'm amazed. Trying to find the basic concept and have a temp score for Neal and others to see. It's pretty much impossible to judge the quality without the music and basic sound design. At least I have the time to play with it.
 
Ooopps. I should've waited till later when I get home. I'm working right now... errrr... suPPosed to be working! Remind me not to show this thread to my boss.

Tim... THE king of DIY! How goes it? Have you got an edit together? Is it all falling in place?

Oooo. The King. I like it.


...as if my ego isn't big enough.


So I'm on Edit version 3 now. It clocks in at 6:11. I placed some WILD choices for the temp score and it led me to a whole new concept for the *big scene*. I would like to reshoot it to work with what I'm thinking, but there's no time for that now, (or is there?) so I have another idea that will be nearly as good. Sorry to be so vague.... you understand.

This highlights the importance of test shots and having music in mind BEFORE shooting. If I had, (like Robert Rodriguez does), shot the whole movie as test shots, edited it together and put music to it, I would've found this extra nugget of goodness. Unfortunately, I was too busy machining gears and stuff to do that for this flick. Next time.

I've shown the cut to the actors and crew with a great response. I'll have a locked cut this week to send to the composer, drop in the shots we do on Sat, and work on the sound design and CC. Oh my. That's a lot of work. Two weeks should be juuuust enough.

Finishing up LOTS of little things for the final shoot tomorrow. Can I never get ahead?

Moved closer to a locked cut last night. It's looking really good. Can't wait to drop in the new shots.




....OH Yes I will grant you another grab... by Sunday.
