Getting Close

Well, I have the movie in the musician's hands now, he is adding the music score. This will greatly improve the movie. I am looking forward to seeing/hearing the finished product. It looks like I should have this ready for the premiere party in October, with copies available by late October.

Slow, but Sure Progress

Okay, I see that a month has passed since I published the post stating that I was getting ready to hand the movie over for music scoring. But...I am actually still tweaking the editing and hope to get it into his hands within the week. The edits are greatly improving the movie. Some of the scenes are getting really scary, even to my jaded eyes. I am starting to see the finished product in my mind and it is looking much better. The music score will be a huge improvement. More to come.

More Progress

I just went over the editing that Craig did on the movie. He made some very good improvements. I continued editing for about 8 hrs today. There is more to be done, but the movie is looking much better. I am rendering it now so I can get a copy to the man who will be doing the music score. I am anxious to see it with music.

I think the movie may be complete in August, with a premiere party in September, and an official release on DVD in October. Only one year later than my original schedule.

Sorry no photos or video clips yet, maybe later.

Video Clip

Okay, I decided that the cast and crew deserved to see a little more of what they worked so hard to complete. This is a clip that has preliminary sound effects, music effects, etc. It gives you some idea, but is far from complete.

Getting Closer

I'm very happy to announce that I am about 80% complete with post-production! I am heading overseas, again, to finish an engineering project, but while I'm gone my friend Craig is continuing the editing work on the film. I am happy to have a fresh set of eyes on the post-production, I was getting a bit numb. He was the cameraman for my short film "Jessica" and has been doing editing and other production work for several years. I look forward to getting back from Thailand and seeing how he has improved the film.

I think that there is a reasonable chance of having this completed in August 2008.

Check back in about 3 weeks for an update.

Milestone

Hello everyone I am excited to report that I just completed the rough edit of the movie! I had an unexpected break in my engineering projects, and I used the time I've had over the past week to edit the movie. It was so exciting and refreshing to get back into post-production. What remains is sound clean-up, sound effects, music track, visual effects, and fine tuning of the edits. In summary, I am about 70% complete with post-production. Here are a few screenshots.




Check back next week, I should have another update and maybe a movie clip.

Production Update

Well folks, the update on production is...no progress on the editing. I am overseas now and will be tied up until mid-May. I am unable to do editing during this time, the project demands do not allow me any time to do so. I did get a call from someone who may be able to help me complete the editing, but that won't be sorted out until I get back to the states. In the meantime you can see what I am up to by going to my other blog "Stumbling Toward God."

The photo is a behind the scenes shot of the making of "Spirits Among Us." I believe Mike Mireles took the photo, thanks Mike. I picked this photo because I have my back to the camera, in fact everyone seems to be ignoring the camera, much like I appear to be ignoring post-production. Actually, I am working on the business plan for creating many more Christian productions-in my meager spare time here.
