All Day, Everyday…
Since July 4th I’ve been working on the edit the majority of the day everyday of the week. There is another film in production (become a fan on Facebook) I’m apart of this Fall so I’m gearing up for that while getting this film into working order to mail off sometime in the next month. It’s an interesting feeling not seeing anymore scene gaps in the film and just tweaking what’s there. I can finally start to see what we really have. There is one location I’m stuck in at the moment, but it’s a small flashback and those are always complicated. Telling a story in a short amount of time with some clever edits and proper emotion is a tough task so that’s been my major hang up. The cut is currently at 85 minutes and I suspect it will hover around there until completion.
The ADR of the film has been laying in really easily and I think it will be very difficult to tell if there was any ADR done in a lot of this film. All things considered the ADR was minimal, but in the scenes where we really needed to use it, it’s turning out pretty fantastic. Kudos to all our actors that re-recorded some of their lines, they did a great job.
A new website is in development for the film and the blog will get a new look as well. We have finally found a color scheme and concept for the film that works with how the film actually is in tone, mood, etc. The website will be a basis for almost everything graphics related in the future I think. It’s come out well enough to translate to the DVD, Poster, Banners, etc. I’m excited for everyone to see it when it’s completed. I don’t want to just release it however. It would be nice to release it with something, say a new trailer? That gives me another task to complete! It’s a lot of stuff to be sure but I’ll get there. The interviews as well that will be released one by one on the website are excellent. I think they will create some buzz because of their content. If those don’t get all of you telling your friends then no amount of marketing money will save us.
In regards to finishing the film, we’re still in need of a score. Right now we are just trusting the Lord for guidance in where to go next. We’ve been in financial trouble before with this film, right in the very beginning. Kevin’s fridge, drier, etc. all went out simultaneously causing me to pick up the tab on the rest of the equipment so this is nothing new. In this case however, the amount needed far exceeds our ability to pay for. There are possibilities but beyond that we’re just waiting on the Lord. Investors are an option, and many other things…but until the film is in a more completed form, even with temporary music tracks…we can’t move forward. Pray that God would bring us an answer sometime soon! He knows our troubles and he’s had His hand on things from the start, so I feel it’s only a matter of time.
