June 11th - fourteen hour shoot, five actors, 42 set-ups, two locations. First two minutes cut. I'm in South Carolina on a paying shoot and plan to continue editing and effects when I get back Thursday. Looks like lots of projects are progressing nicely. Should be some fun viewing when this thing is over.

Sounds like a busy shoot - I can't wait to see how it turns out!

Great BTS shots and location.

Is that the HVX you're shooting with? I love that camera; I still use mine all the time (we even shot all our BTS footage with it).
 
HVX 200A. I like it, too. The shoot went great, but the air-conditioning was off at the school for the summer, so things got a bit hot.
 
Four minutes in on the edit with grading and effects work done. Lots of effects and rotoscoping in the last two minutes, but it looks like I'll make it if no unforseen disasters occur.
 
Yeah, one of those things that came up after we shot. Me and my big mouth commenting that it would be cool to insert a CG figure into this scene. Then I realized it meant roto, motion tracking and 3D perspective animation and rendering to get it right. Like I said before - next fest one room, one actor and no special effects!
 
Cast and crew at the finish of the shoot. A minor problem deveolped when the robots demanded scale at the end of the day but we worked things out.

Man am I glad I have a good battery backup for my computer. Thunderstorms ripping through my area and the power has been on and off all evening. Still trying to finish all the effects - too damn many! Everytime I think I'm close, my wife, my daughter or menbers of the crew come up with some great - and overly complicated - effect they want me to try. Like an idiot, I do. Hey, most of the ideas are helping the film, but I may end up in rest home while they enjoy the final product.
 
Finished the edit at 6:00AM after an all-nighter. Luckily, my wife is taking the files over to the composer since I'd probably fall asleep at the wheel on the way to his place. Still have about a minute and a half of effects to refine and render. it's going to be very close. Funny, it seemed like there was plenty of time when this started.
 
Tell me this isn't a gut check. The final cut is 05:59:19, and that's at 24p. Made it by five frames! I'm going to have to have my credits on this thread, however, no room for anything but the main title.

I'm glad you made the time cut-off.

For your end credits - you can end with a frame with all the credits on it.
