Update-
I think I have a locked cut. How do you know when it's locked? Is there a certain feeling? Or is it when your composer says, "Gimmme Gimme Gimme! Now Now!"

I'm working on color correction now, my weakest area. Here's an outtake grab with CC.
Question: Is it too dark? ? Maybe too contrasty?

I want it to be dark but still visible, so you can see the scene, but have that Dark feeling.

Anti de Presence is officially wrapped shooting! I knocked out the last VFX shot last night at 3am.
It is locked too!
Sent to Neal for scoring.
Got a first pass done on the CC.

Had to take a little time out to watch part of Zeitgeist Addendum. If you haven't heard about this film, you owe it to yourself to check it out. Your world will never be the same.
 
The grab looks great! I don't think it's too dark at all...and the contrast works for me fine. Glad to hear you're locked. Great work O'King of DIY. Can't wait to see this one!

Thanks! It did work pretty well, although we realized half-way through the shoot that there was a speck of dust somewhere inside... couldn't ever get it out, so the film will be featuring an extra character that plays the all-seeing God role. You know... he "watches over everything [all scEene]" :angry:
I call him Freddy. Freddy the Fricken Spec o' Dust. Life goes on.
 
Ugh! I had one of those on "Four". I used a plug-in for Final Cut Pro from CHV. It was for dead pixels, but it cleared up that speck like Proactiv on a pimple.
 
Update:--> 10-24-08

Working heavy on Sound Design. This is going to be a MEGA sound design project. I already have 30 tracks going, and only got through the 1st minute, so I have a long way to go... I'm sure I'll be one of the last ones to upload again. Going to try not to stay up all night Sunday, but it may come to that. A little extra hair loss won't be too bad.

The sound design is a crucial element that adds so much, and is so subtle.

Neal is working on the score and coming along very nicely. It's such a joy working with talented people.
 
I must enjoy the punishment...
What a relief to be done!
Made the upload in the last few minutes. I need a breath...

YES! You got it done...congratulations. I never had a doubt. VERY excited to see how it came out.
 
4 hours of footage?
And now dare to say you missed some shots while editing. ;)

Good luck, looking forward to this one (I thought I already posted here, but I guess I didn't. :/ )

I missed some footage.


I like to leave the camera rolling between takes, (cause tape is cheap) and ended up using a few shots of the in-between times in the final cut. Sometimes works for reaction shots, but most of the time it's me yapping. (Also a good way to critique my directing)
