Anyone lagging behind?

I just wrapped on Sunday, but don't have the tools to capture, so Chris Curl is doing it for me. So I am waiting for that, then I have to teach myself the editing software, drop some After Effects action for color correction and a few FX adds, then give it to my sound guy Steve so he can score and mix.

The only good thing is that my wife and kids will be at her parents for the last two weeks of June, so I have all the time I need to do this. I just wish I would have shot in May. (wipes brow)
 
Why do I get the feeling there's going to be a LOT of shooting going on in the next couple weeks?

Because there is. :)

I think we did have a drop in films this QTR. Might have to do with summer. But at the same time, Timefest, same QTR had more than double the attempted entries.

So I am wondering if the general economy is affecting people. Because I can't imagine that the pitch would drive too many people away. And overall, people are getting started later.

It's looking as if we have a high drop out rate this one too. Either fully dropping out or just pulling the film from the fest to have more time to work on it.

Don't know what it is this time around.

// Just checked, we are down a little over 50% of attempted entries from last fest.

I'm shooting the weekend of June 20th. Three nights. Cutting it close!

I always tend to do this... I have 4 locations for the shoot (which is probably too many to get permission) and I've had to lock in the cast and crew. It looks now that we're ready to roll. Next time, I'll just shoot at my home!

I think the economy has had an affect as well, materially and psychologically. I know that I'm having to spend more time and effort earning a living and don't have as much time to be creative and plan for my own movie.

That's my excuse....er, reason. :)

Shooting weekend of June 20th as well.

We can do it! :kali:
 
The number of dropouts is AWESOME for people like me. I figure it like this...only ten people enter, I automatically make top ten. It's a win-win!

On the real, I do hope everyone gets their films made. Can't let Tarts take it all without at least some competition. :)
 
:kali:I don't think anyone can top me... I am doing bad! (with questfest that is) I just have like a rush of work back to back ever since I posted my Thread! and it's not letting me catch up to nothing! I don't think I'll make it but who knows!
My M2e lens adapter is ordered, paid, and in production, now I'm just waiting for it to ship out.

That's another thing that was kind of holding me back a little because I like to use my own gear.

I do want to wish good luck to everyone who makes it. Hopefully I can submitt at least a rough cut. I would be happy with that.

later!

Looks like I picked the right Fest to enter! Easy to make top ten when there's only ten films. Lol.


I'll still come in 11th...
 
LOL!!!
I know! I saw this thread and I was like... "oh God! I think I fall into this category":cry::nads:


I'm still excited tho looking forward to see everyone's stuff....

I think I'm going to drive down the street with my camera hanging out the window upside down on the tripod just to submit at least something to watch.
I can title it "Questfest Attempt":-Dum(DBG):

SHOOT IT in a grocery store...where no one knows wtf is going on. Just rush the place and rewrite your scene and song around the manager coming over and telling you that you're not supposed to be there. So even in the chaos of being kicked out, the viewing audience will think it's all part of the scene and thus think that the manager is an acting genius because it seemed so real. Then you can tell the manager about this site and everyone praising him and then he won't give a **** about you raiding his store a few weeks earlier!

ITS WIN-WIN!


WTF is wrong with me! I am tweeking on NOT smoiking in two days!!!


(now listening to GIVEN UP by Linkin Park http://www.imeem.com/linkinpark/music/ZF0AGye5/linkin-park-given-up/)
 
Life reared it's ugly head and killed my second pitched entry. Even though there are no actors, my voice talent and I aren't exactly on speaking terms currently. Minor setback.

Crap...
