Forget what you're used to seeing...
Much has been quiet on the waterfront… which is what happens when the production crew has long since disbanded and the 44 locations around the city are silent where the sounds of “Action,” “Cut,” and “Let’s set the dolly up along here…” once were yelled.
Nowadays the movie lives in a single room on a couple of computers. Things are quiet, and unfortunately I’ve been silent on both this and the Daros blog… because there really aren’t many exciting things to report other than “Yes, we’re still in post.”
But, since there hasn’t been a “Yes, we’re still in post,” update in a while, I’ll give you the skinny.
Editing: We’re beginning the 6th of 7 edits before we lock. The 5th edit went out to industry professionals and editors for fresh pairs of eyes, and now we’re readying the 6th draft to start showing to focus groups! After we get that feedback, we’ll lock in on a 7th draft edit and move further down the road of post-production.
Sound: After we lock we’ll be laying down some ADR/looping for the few scenes that we just couldn’t get clean sound on while on location. After that we’ll be working with a studio to mix down and foley the audio.
Effects: We’re shopping around several effects houses to do the final color grading and effects work for the movie.
Beyond that, we’re getting closer and closer to a finished product! Runtime is sitting at about 1:49 for draft 5, and it probably won’t change too much for 6 or 7, but we’ll have to see.
Thanks for holding on!
