Post Sound

Quick update on post production -

We locked picture on January 15th and have moved into post sound. Neil is currently working with our post sound crew to finalize the remaining schedule so that we can complete "The Hanged Man" in the next couple of months.

Neil has begun work with our post sound team of sound engineers, Dialogue Editor / ADR Supervisor, VFX, Foley Supervisor / Editor, and Composer to coordinate everyone's efforts and ensure we stay on timeline and within budget.

We have received quite a few questions from supporters, investors, friends and family about what exactly we're doing now, as post all happens in magic dark rooms with nothing flashy to show until the end product.

I was going to type up an overview of the various activities taking place right now, but a quick trip over to wikipedia and lo and behold, there's a pretty good overview of post production there.

So ... here's what we're doing now:

Post Production Update

I know it's been a long time since we updated the blog. We are moving forward with post production daily; it's just hard to find anything exciting to say about things like "after reviewing TJ's performance in shot two of scene 24A, we replaced take two with take six because while his eyeline was slightly off, the performance was better and continued the tone we established in scene 23."

Other exciting debates have centered around font choices for the opening credit sequence and which exact frame to cut to create maximum suspense.

We are also going to be shooting a few pick-up shots, which we should be able to do in a single weekend, and will handle in LA ~ so no one will have to fly back out to South Carolina to work on location.

We are a couple of weeks behind schedule on post, but will still have everything to our sound guys and composer by mid-February for them to begin their work.

We have a few more festivals to submit to in the next couple of months and are trying to iron out our festival strategy now. Next ones on our list are probably Tribeca and Toronto. There are some smaller, regional festivals coming up (e.g. LA and Atlanta), but we're not sure if it would be in our best interest to hit these yet.

That's it from this end.

Guys, you all have my e-mail. If you have any questions, please drop me a line.

I'll report back soon,
Glenn
