Snow would be technically more challenging to view in, but I always love seeing footage that takes place in the snow, specifically if it's actually snowing!

Well Envision you will be happy to know we have snow falling in ours ..just a little though .
On Sat night it started to snow heavy , had the cover on the camera BUT the dampness crepted in causing the camera to lock ( not record) then the dreaded X appeared ...cleaned it ..and everthing was Ok ..We did lose about 10 min of footage though ..can't figure out why it took the camera sooo long to display the X ..O well this Sat night coming up should be the end of filming .

I think I'll take the snow over the cold rain any day .
The hardest part yet is putting music to this short ...

If all goes well, mine will be shot this weekend and edited/composited over the next couple of weeks. I wasn't sure I'd be able to get it done since I'm working on another project, but I found a couple of people who are willing to work on it. It's last minute, but we may have something cool...
 
Yes! Almost all VFX done! Scoring should be finished by the end of the week, now I've just got to get down to audio mixing this thing. I hate this part, it's the most tedious work known to man!!!
 
FINISHED THE SCRIPT TODAY!

i actually gave up 3 times already, but now it looks like we´re shooting this weekend and then finish the whole thing in two weeks...it has nothing to do with my original idea, but it´s better to do a small film than quitting!!

good luck to everybody

MsManhattan and I finished the ideas for shots(but no actual script... just a few lines) and I should be finishing up shooting by next weekend. We have a nice small story that works.
 
Jan 10th - Prinicple Photography finished this weekend. We just have to finish pick up shots tonight. The Visual Effects team is almost assembled. The first visual effects shot will be finalzed tonight.
 
We finished all photography on the 7th. The cast and crew braved pounding rain on Saturday during our riverbank shoot. Even though it wasn't all that cold (at least by Canadian winter standards) after a few hours getting drenched I think we were all happy to get warm and dry.

I'm now into the editing (Vegas 6), have a rough cut finished and have completed the ADR for our star. Three (likely four) more ADRs to finish in the next week or so.

Pretty much on time and on budget.

Oh yeah. Memo to self for next contest: "Always cast as many young blondes as possible - not so much for the effects on screen, but more to catch the shocked, questioning looks on the faces of the bartenders when they see a balding, paunchy, middle-aged white male arrive at their bar with cute, young blondes hanging all over him for the after-shoot party." (too bad that lasted only about three minutes ...)

I LOVE THESE CONTESTS!!!!!!

Memo to self for next marriage: "Always keep wife as happy as possible. Always marry a blind woman."

Now I'm sorry I said that.

if you where talking about females I would be jelous.. but those young blonde boys you been hanging around with is gonna get you in trouble :)

:evil:
 
Well it is pouring RAIN ...HEAVY at that ..Rain again tomorrow and Sat as well ..
We were going to try and film the 3 scenes we never did last Sat night on this Sat night . If we have GREEN grass , I'm not sure what we will do( head up north a little maybe ) . The rest of the story takes place later on so I don't care if it snows / rains or not .
All I can do is hope for snow even a little to cover the grass...
I do NOT want to bail on this , we'll give it our best to finish
Hope everyone else is having better luck .
Ian
 
I'm sure there is an easy solution to this ...maybe even a rewrite of those scenes . I'm not sure if I can pull it off and have it make sense
It is at these times I wish my editing skills were much better than what they are .
On the bright side we have what 3 weeks left .
I'm sure GenJerDan we will have a solution to this .
Guess I must wait til Sat to find out ...Please let it snow ...Thought I would never say those dirty words .

Mmm. I can just see the words slurring and all notions of personal space evaporating in those pics. :) I have no idea of your character's motivations, but yours sir--are crystalline.
 
Um, I vote for the girl on the right, second photo down.

And just what ARE you staring at in that 3rd pic ... her empty beer glass ("Geez, she finished that ALREADY?!) or ....

Correction ... you like like you're about to pass out, not really looking at anything at all. Great wrap party!
