Some Changes and Finalizations

Hello all!

Well to give everyone an update to where we are. Yesterday our Cinematographer,
Søren Viuf and I, sat down and applied the color correction and anamorphic aspect ratio to the film. Our goal was to shoot the film in a 35mm framing for two reasons. 1) If we ever decide to output onto a 35mm print, which would be cool, then the job is down for us. 2) It really gives the film a great look in the end. All voice overs have been recorded and our sound designer, Will Ogilvie, is currently working on sound effects, Foley, and awaiting the final touches to the sound track. Christy has been working hard to get a sound track to us over the last month and I got to here a sample the other day. She has put something amazing together for this film, and I really really can not wait to hear the final score. We also made some shot changes to the current film. Nothing that moves the film around, but different takes from the same scenes. This was for both visual and audio quality of the film.

As for a screening the NYFA has not set a final date on their end, but since it looks like we might be having it either the week before Thanksgiving or the first week of December. To me neither of these options is acceptable. So I've decided to start looking for a small venue to host my own screening of the final product in Early November. I'm also starting on a festival calender for submission which start around the same time. So this week has been a busy one getting back and working on the film. We are getting close to the final product and getting back in the class room before winter break. Exciting times.
Now onward!
