Rules, principles and guides…

By on January 24, 2008 in Offline Edit, Training

This weekend coming, I will be running my weekend masterclass at Ealing Studios, and probably, the last one for some time. Every time I run one of these classes, I spend time beforehand reflecting on current trends and shifts in film making. Of course, I still have last weekends premiere bouncing around and I am [...]

Gone Fishing Locks Picture Edit at 1.45am!

By on October 26, 2007 in BluRay, DVD, Offline Edit, SFX

So we locked the picture edit at 1.45am last night. Editor Eddie Hamilton and I made a huge number of tweaks that at first glance, are fairly minimal in impact, but we both know that they made a big difference holistically. At one point Eddie stopped and looked at me grinning and commenting that ‘it’s [...]

So the plot thickens…

So the plot thickens…

We have been editing, testing, editing, testing… and getting great results and feedback in these screenings.

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 [...]

Pickup shoot is planned for next Wednesday

I am starting work on one of my favourite parts of the film making process. The pickup shoot. This is a one day shoot with minimal crew where you get all those little shots you didn’t get during the main shoot, or new shots you thought up in the edit, so as to help tell [...]

Second Edit refines Gone Fishing further

By on September 26, 2007 in Art and Stroryboards, Music, Offline Edit, Pickups, Post Production, Screenings

Last night I worked with Eddie Hamilton and we did the second cut of the film. This was to generally tidy, trim and make neat and perfect all the cuts in the movie. Also to add storyboarded shots that we will be filming next week in a pickup shoot day, and finally to tackle the [...]
