"Last Touch" - a Norm Sanders film

I DRAAAAAGED my heels on this one, after we shot it, so my apologies to the team. Just severe mental distractions with looking for work, etc., and I found it difficult to finish the little touches I wanted for a locked edit.

That said, the film is now with three different people, getting different aspects worked on for final post:

Justin Durban is currently working on the score.
Simon Hofer is currently working on the FX
Glenn Scott Lacey (Post Sound Mix pro & composer, thanks to a lead from Steven Dempsey) is currently working on a professional post mix of all the audio, sans score.
 
Hi Simon, I rec'd it day before yesterday. Sorry for the delay. I DIG it ... but before having you make further refinements to it, I passing it by Steven Dempsey as well, and haven't heard back from him yet. Get back to you ASAP on it.
 
Yeah, cutting it close, I know. I had been trying different settings ALL day yesterday with Quicktime to try & get it to NOT wash out the film, but it just does. Something about QT7 Pro, that when I take a file & render a h.264 out of it, it seems to INCREASE the gamma a tad, and make the colors subtly more bland than the original.

But, I've given up on that, and may just make a WMV available too, if they're cool with that. If not, still plays & sounds fine ... I'm just being picky. File size came in at 49.6MB, perfect.

Uploading now....

Crap! Talk about cutting it close!
Nice job. :)
 
OMG, you're not kidding! I can't believe I just saw this, but only now realized the time cut off was 11am this morning. Sheesh! It's actually still uploading this very second, so we'll see if it makes it I guess.

Yikes ... I've always been used to midnight, etc. as a cut off for uploads, voting, etc.

I think as long as you start uploading BEFORE the deadline you are good.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. :)
 
Brandon, thank link you sent me with the QT tutorial is awesome, thanks. Only thing concerns me is once the correction is made, if I go to pull a frame from it, the frame grab comes out with that backwards XRay/negative effect? Too late to replace the DVX submission, as I barely made that anyway (rec'd confirmation it's approved).

So, while I was the first person to film their short & have it in the can, I think I'm also the last one to get their film officially submitted. Amazing how personal life stuff can get in the way!
