Back and almost done!

Well, it has been a long time since I have posted anything, but no need to fear post production is nearing an end. We are almost complete with our picture lock and will be moving in to sweetening and effects/color timing. It has been quite the ride and we have faced some interesting obsticles.

Recently we ran into a scare where we thought we lost a good deal of footage from our second phase of shooting. After we began planning for a possible pick up shoot we found the missing footage. Thank God! Ones gotta love technology. For the technical minded folk out there here is our post workflow/system.

Camera:
Panasonic HVX200
Camera Mode:
720/24pn
Camera Add Ons:
RedRock Micro M2 w/ Nikon Lenses

Editing
Adobe Premire Pro 2.0
Cineform Aspect HD
DVFilm RayLight

Using Cineform we ran into some problems with the camera original files not converting properly and only ending up with partial clips.

Using RayLight we found what we though to have been lost footage and are able to edit with clones of the Camera Original media.

Future Obsticles/Work:
Post Production Sound/Audio
We will have to do a lot of ADR work. The difficult part will be trying to salvage as much of our location audio as possible - much of our second phase of shooting is unusable due to overmodulated audio or levels so low nothing picked up.

I recorded some pretty darn clean takes though :-).

until next time...hopefully not quite as long a span though.

...stay tuned.
