Post Prodution Outline So Far….

Post Prodution Outline So Far….

By on October 9, 2007 in BluRay, Offline Edit, Post Production, Sound

I thought I would just outline our post production process so far, for those who are interested. We shot 35mm, which was processed overnight at Bucks labs, and then shipped in the morning to central London where Midnight Transfer did the 35mm telecine to DVCam, with all the relevant information such as lab roll, timecodes [...]

We hit our 100th contributor last night (thank you Wendy!), bringing the total raised so far to… £19,685! Blimey! I mean really, BLIMEY! We are still short though, so if you know anyone who may want to come on the course or come to the premiere, click here. I have been working on the £100 [...]

First stab at the DVD cover…

First stab at the DVD cover…

By on October 7, 2007 in DVD, Sales

I have spent the day designing the first DVD cover for ‘Gone Fishing’. This is very different to a feature cover in one major way – it will never act as a POINT OF SALE for a buyer. The only people who will get the DVD will either be given it, or come across it [...]

Pickup shoot is 100% success!

Pickup shoot is 100% success!

By on October 6, 2007 in Locations, Pickups, SFX, Shooting, Sound

Saturday morning, the day after the pickup shoot, and I am looking out of my window in amazement at the weather. According to the BBC it should be bright sun, and it’s grey and miserable. Yesterday on the other hand, the day we shot, WAS AMAZING SUNSHINE! We could not have been luckier with the [...]

It's 5.51 am…

By on October 5, 2007 in Camera, Pickups, Shooting

I spent yesterday driving a van around London collecting camera kit and lights – I love that moment when normal life ends and you step into the world of movies – that for me was yesterday when I collected the van. Cameraman Steve Brooke Smith camera along for the ride, and thank god he did [...]

Compiling Titles

Compiling Titles

By on October 4, 2007 in Cast, Credits, Crew

I have been collating the titles for the end crawler. This presents a number of practical problems. First off is just how do you format it so that you can easily use it in other programs once all typed out in MS Word? The big thing is to NEVER use tabs. Just write the test [...]

Pickup shoot moved for weather

Pickup shoot moved for weather

By on October 3, 2007 in Camera, Crew, Locations, Pickups, Shooting

Gone Fishing looks absolutely amazing. In large part this is down to Vernon’s photography and his insistence that we wait on the sun. We were very lucky in the main shoot and managed to shot mostly in bright sunshine, which Vernon then filled the harsh shadows with a whopping great 15k light and bounce boards. [...]

DISASTER! The neg is lost!

DISASTER! The neg is lost!

By on October 2, 2007 in Negative

Last night was the first truly dark night on this production. It was HELL! Yesterday we got word from the lab that the negative had been misplaced. No-one actually knew where it was. It was frankly, LOST! That fact was further complicated by it being late in the day and after six, everyone went home. [...]
