A little breather

Last weekend we burned through about 36 hours straight to get The Missing Bank Card 3 finished and submitted. This movie turned out to be quite a beast, with 60% green screen and %70 other visual effects it was difficult to keep things in order. It turned out really well, and is a nice ending to the trilogy. But I got to work on my green screen, it was really difficult to get satisfied results. It also might have something to do that our green screen was terrible (cloth thumb-tacked to the wall) and had a lot of shadows and uncovered areas.

This week has been a nice little breather before another pair of productions get started; I have a wedding I am filming on Saturday, just the ceremony and small parts of the reception. And day 1 of filming the short film "Nick of Time" begins Sunday evening. Luckily this new film doesn't have any big special effects, but I will be doing the editing and on-set supervision. It's a big production with lots of people involved, and we are filming on a Canon 7D so that will be fun to work with as well.

It's going to be weird working on a film where my involvement will not be comprehensive, so it will be a nice relaxing production and a taste of what a "normal" production is like. When I say relaxing, it's relative to what I am used to! :)

The director wants the film done in two weeks after filming, shouldn't be a problem so long as I have all the assets I need to put it together. And with no big special effects, it's a one-stop shop in Adobe Premiere with my awesome new CUDA compatible video card to edit in real time!
