May Status Report Thread

We just finished sweetening up the score tonight, and I'm really happy with the way everything turned out.
 
Suspense, ha. I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown & ready to just curl up into a fetal position for the next few days, sucking my thumb.

Never again will I put myself in this position ... not like I planned it, however. Being gone on travel for about a week & a half during post didn't help, and then having to take care of the entire family & be my wife's nurse over the past few days has been just about too much. I'm feverishly working audio right now, and PRAYING I can get a VFX savior to come through, as my guy with DVXuser has gone MIA.

Worst case, I just submit the 6 minute cut with ZERO FX, and then have them professionally done for the full cut after the fact.

Oh, and did I mention that one of the guys who showed up for ADR yesterday was completely wasted? Somehow, without me knowing it, he had drank an entire pint of 80% scotch behind my back. I don't mind of someone has a shot to take the nerves off, but come on! After the first few lines when he started slurring he tried to hide it ... then it was just useless. I sent him packing & he was able to miraculously sober up pretty well in a few hours, apologized & came back. Needless to say, I've got some KILLER BTS of our ADR sessions. Funny after the fact, but not at the time.
 
Dang Envision, bumpy road. I hear you about the family part. Having one (and liking to see them) makes this thing a challenge. I haven't seen my kids in two days, and I'm a stay-at-home dad! Don't worry, my wife is with them.
:)
My brother-in-law is working his audio magic right now. I am scrambling to try and figure out the best way to compress this thing before tomorrow. I wish I knew what file size, resolution, format, etc will be required.
:huh:
 
I sent my final edit off the the composer and Im biting my nails waiting to see what he comes up with. While I do that Im also color correcting.
I had to shoot something today because I had no opening for the movie. Lucky MsManhattan came up with a kick ass idea this morning and I was able to implement it.
 
Glad to see so many finished before the deadline .

Not us I'm afraid . My actor who did a no show 2 Sundays ago did apologies and firmly stated he would be there on Sunday (past) guess what he pulled a no show.
Soooo we did a substitute and that went really well .
But!! I must now re- film all the shots we did with this guy (no Show) .
Tomorrow is going to be hell for me trying to get this done .No time on Wed or Thurs , working.
I am off Fri>Sun , this will be my editing weekend . I think my girlfriend has made plans . Do you think she'll be upset?

As it stands our story no longer makes any sense , not that the others we did made any sense..lol.

We aren't giving up yet ..Although this is going to very difficult to finish .
Hope to be in the Fest.

cool -- but can we do that when the fest starts? I don't think anyone's ever done that. Not that I'm against it. I did a banner in the style of my Sci Fi -- maybe that's what you mean.

I did this

so it had the scifi meets 70's cop thing

but didn't explicitly promo my fim and same the name and all

...

have other peopple had banners just for their films and I missed it?

do we wanna do this this time?

might be fun ... I guess its legal, but seems on the edge.

Maybe we should start a poll thread.
