Picture Wrap!
by Andrew on May 29, 2010
Hello, fans. Where the hell have we been? The past two months are an absolute blur. I realize we let you down on our promise to post a complete scene in April, but it’s for a good reason — we decided to finish editing the movie instead!
That’s right, we finally picture-wrapped this puppy (a week ago actually, but I’ve been recovering). Yes, we were the first feature-length film ever shot on the Canon 5D, but as long as it’s taken us to finish this sucker, it may as well be the last to be released! What can I say? I like to work at a leisurely pace. Truth be told, I don’t like doing anything half-assed, so I’d rather take an extra six months on the cut than shove an ok movie out the door.
We’ve come a long way on this little film of ours. Our very first cut was two hours and fifteen minutes! Now credits roll at minute 90. I couldn’t be prouder of this film, the cast, and all my collaborators, most of all editor Morgan English who did an amazing job piecing this thing together.
The movie isn’t finished, of course. Now comes the sound mix and the score, but we’re hoping to submit to Toronto this year, then Sundance and SXSW for 2011.
Check out the first draft of our poster:
Gotta get that type for the credits more readable.
Anyway, what else is going on?
Well, my wife Angelyn is now on strict bed rest finishing her own little project. Early labor set in a few days ago, so we’re trying to get Calliope to stay where she is for a week or two more. Lot’s happening in our house! Here’s a shot of Calliope from our last ultrasound (she has her mother’s nose).
Sorry again for disappearing on you, loyal fans, but I promise this wait will be worth it!
Sincerely,
Andrew
Another announcement!
