Almost there

OK, this is one of the last entries for this blog, I'm preparing for the film distribution. Comeback later to receive more information.  Thank you.

Render and more render

The Final Movie in not DONE, I'm in the final process, but is not done, at this level every time I need to see the movie outside the Avid take days to render, so many layers make this process very slow, but, well, I do not have budget to up grade my equipment. 

During this days I watch some parts of the movie with a test of the final sound track outside the Avid and some small parts of the movie need to be re-edit but every time a re-edit the video the audio go out of sync because is been edited in an other system, I need to wait for the audio to be finish and then all together in the Avid I'll make this final edits no before... When al the editing is Ok, color correction is check, audio, Sound effects are in place, credits are done, the movie will be locked, after the movie is locked the process of conversion from 30i to 24P begins, and this, I hope not take too long... But, almost every thing at this moment is RENDERING.

How long will take this? Really I'm not sure but let say 6 weeks may be more. I'll let you know.

Finally all the shoots with the monster are in the movie, I need one more pass just to be sure that the monster is not needed more in the movie, looks very good....

Next, some easy shoot 3 to be exact and re-edit the final sequence.
