May Status Report Thread

Mine actually came in under 5 minutes, so I took advantage of the few extra seconds and added a little back into a couple clips that were being cut short. Now with credits I'm at about 5:20

Well, I'm leaving in 15 minutes to go shoot my pick-ups...praying that the wind doesn't start up again. Last night it was so windy it sounded like a hurricane was blowing through (ok, I know a hurricane is really loud, but for those of us from California, a good strong wind sounds like a hurricane :) )

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's film...Good luck everyone :thumbsup:

I'm in the same boat, Jack. I'm used to cutting docs and educational material where a clip might be up for a minute or so. I had to retrain myself to not feeling like I'm doing something wrong to have a clip up for only 8 frames or so. Weird for me, but a good lesson learned.

wow -- I don't think I've ever had a cut a minute long!

the other end of teh spectrum, if you watch MTV, the cuts are mostly less than a second long. Hard to count one, one thousand before something esle is on the screen.

Looks like my longest cut in my film is 17 seconds - which really surprised me, that's a good chunk of 5:25, most others are less than 6 seconds, with several as short as 9 frames long (look out Guy Ritchie :) )

Ugh...tell me about it. So not creative, but it pays some bills.

Well, our movie is at 4:56. With a title screen it's 4:59. And with :10 of credits, I'm at 5:09.
 
Hot dog!!! It's a wrap :thumbsup:

I just extracted the footage and I am SO much happier than I was a week ago!!!

This film may work out after all :)
 
I think you're saying you shot pickups and replaced the shots you weren't happy with with the new footage and now you're stoked. Way to keep working until its right for you :thumbsup:

and if I'm missing you completely ... then congrats on wrapping and extracting :cheesy: (sounds painful ... or like something from Briceman's 3k vid :grin:)
 
No, the first one is right...nothing at all as painful as a 3k vid from anyone :grin:

By the way, I hope you don't mind...I used your Odd Squad settings as the base settings in my shoot. :dankk2:

Peace out, homee!! :thumbsup:
 
not at all that's what I posted em for mang ... !

I'm actually using clips of other DVXuser films in mine -- TC and Rezfactor (NBCShooter)'s zombie entries make cameo appearances :)
 
Wow, it sounds like some awesome progress! I cannot wait to see all the films and I am sure the level of films are going to just be amazing this time around! Good luck to all!
 
Welp, I'm still in it.

I ended up getting a DVX camera on Friday Afternoon and after shooting the past two days by myself in between work, I think I have something that's worth showing. I've still gota do about 20+ FX green shots and compositing + Sound FX but that shouldnt' be too tough. Scoring it will be tricky, but I think I've got a good tone in mind.

*Edit*. Toll comes to 56 FX shots :) (I'm a frakin' retard for having so many)

So, wish me luck.. I'm definitely coming down to the wire on this one. :)

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone else's film too!

Well, I just heard the intro cut from my composer...it was the "demonstration version" without any clean up done to it.... and it was AWESOME!!! :thumbsup:
 
Oh..no you didn't!!! My parents thought it was "cute" to call me Lar-Bear when I was a kid. And they went so far as to have a t-shirt made that had a picture of a bear and it said something like "bears are people too". And then it said Lar-Bear on the back.

Of course, they also made me wear a t-shirt that had a kid holding a sign which read, "Kid for rent, cheap". It's no wonder I turned out the way I did :grin:
 
haha poor larry.

Welp, we're probably going to be finishing up on shooting the 30th, possibly the 31st, so unless Jarred feels super generous and wants to add 3 weeks to the deadline, I'm going to have to bow out of the competition. No worries though, this has been a wonderful experience and although I'm not on the competitive frontline, I still look forward to viewing the entries and showing you guys the finished product once we finish. :)
 
Oh sure it's funny to you guys...that's cause you never had to endure the embarrasement. That ought to be worth an extra point in every category on my film just to help me feel better about myself :evil: :grin:
