BARN DANCE - John LaBonney

Currently re-timing and adjusting the greenscreen scene using some shots Jason keyed (and some of my own). It was a difficult set of shots to chroma-key.

I did learn quite a bit about how to set up and plan greenscreen shots from this experience. But the scene works overall, despite some minor keying issues.
 
We're very close. I'm not going to be the first one to upload though.

Right now I'm still trying to get this one greenscreen scene together. My initial mock-up was okay, but I'm toying with the sequence of events to create the best dramatic effect.

Otherwise, the movie is basically done, but I'm sure I'll be making tweaks up till the deadline.
 
You know, I wasn't really excited about the title of this piece. I saw it on Pauli's thread. But that poster and that cast? Crazy. The poster's awesome. I want to see this now. Can't wait. Good luck gettting er finished.

I'm at that point where making minor adjustments is no longer making any real improvement in the final product. I suppose that means it's time to call it done.

Color correction isn't my specialty to begin with, but I'm hampered by the fact that the main character is sporting a pretty red sunburn in the final scene.

But there's still a few days left, so I might as well keep plugging away with the minutiae.

That's when you've seen it 10,000 times and start to second-guess yourself, if only because you get tired of a certain editing choice. I hate that. I try to show it to my "committee" members and see if they notice before changing it.

Did you ever figure out those sync issues?

Not really, I've had to take a break from that to finish the film. It's probably some glitch in a sound file of some kind, footage without an added music file seems to come out okay. But I have someone helping me on that end and we've been testing different theories. Push come to shove, I'll just move the sound +4 frames on my final render for the purposes of uploading. Not much else I can do.
 
Looking forward to watching. My actors and crew on Blood and Coffee are gonna get together on the night of of the screening and watch a good number of these films in my friend's projection room. We all got to choose one for the first ones viewed and my actress picked yours, so your film is gonna be 2nd up. Should be a blast to watch that big.

Good luck dude.
