Nope, not yet. LOL. Very happy with what I did with the opening though. Got that done and got the film to my music guy yesterday. Supposed to meet back with him tomorrow. Hope to have it finished by Wednesday, but silly me - I got an idea about something else to change.
 
Still working on the new idea I got that will make the movie better or worse. It's coming along and I hope to put the finishing touches on it tonight and add sound. Either it's gonna' work or it's not - no in-between. Went over to Hamza's (composer) last night to see what he had done and we went over some things. The score is GREAT, STUPENDOUS, FANTASTIC, WONDERFUL, AMAZING, UNPARALLELED, OFF-THE-CHAIN, JAMMIN' ON THE ONE. . .:Drogar-Shock(DBG):. . .eh-hum. . .I mean, "it's cool, ese!" Hamza's very talented (we call him a musical genius).

I usually score my own films and do fine, but this one would have been a little more complicated to do (you'll understand when you watch), because there are some places where the dialogue is paramount and tricky. I'm am so impressed with the score though - it's like watching the movie all over again without having seen it 50 million times in post.

So, Hamza wants to mix it down and tweak it a little and will have it done today. I hope to finish the new EXPERIMENT and closing credits as well and it's a WRAP!!!
 
Okay, yesterday the music was finished. I was still working on an experimental shot though. Worked on that all last night and finally got it to work are midnight or so. Then I discovered some problems with some of the audio tracks! They weren't centered, so I had to go and do each one individually. Only got halfway through and went to bed (at 2:40 AM). Had to get up at 6 to get ready for work - was able to edit a little more this morning and got everything straight. Now I've got to do the closing credits (hate those) and it's a done deal. Plan to upload tonight!
 
Location looks great - doesn't look like a typical horror movie, so I'm very curious to see what you came up with and where the monster is gonna come in!

It's sort of typical, but then it's not. :thumbsup: You'll have to check it out to see just what I mean. Hard to explain without giving it away, although I don't think it'll be so much of a surprise, since this is monsterfest.
 
UPLOADED!! Waiting for the go-ahead. I think I got a pretty good compression goin' too. This is the biggest, best quality dimension size I've had so far in these fests.
 
Conversion was surprisingly pain free this time around, but. I've been getting some practice sending files off to Damian (my composer) for him to do his thing. Got any bugs out of the system with that process. Didn't you do any pre-renders to see how it would come out?

Yeah, I did several and they were coming in at different sizes. When I really starting tweaking it I'd got one down to 52, then 52.1, then 51.1 and finally 48.9. I would have tweaked it until I got a 49.9, but alas, I was sleepy. Before (in previous fests) I really didn't have time to mess around too much. I was right up to the deadline and the last time went with like a 540x283 (the biggest I'd had until now).
