Countdown

Well, crunch time is here.  We are still making a few changes before we send the first episode off into the world (wide web).  Oh they grow up so fast!

But before I send her off on her own, there's still some trimming and sculpting and cleaning up that needs some doing.  So far I've got what I am hoping to be the final edit and the sound is finalized.  Assuming nothing changes from now until then, the last thing that needs to be done is color correcting.

As you all know, we shot this with a minimal budget and minimal equipment.  And since we were moving quickly, the lighting didn't get the proper attention.  Luckily, there is not really a change in color temperature, just exposure.  I'm hoping it doesn't take all day to fix, but I'm expecting it will.

I can spend the next month tweaking the edits and sound.  I can have a looping session and foley session to add to the sound ambiance.  And still not be done with the project.

But as any film maker knows, projects are never complete.  They are simply abandoned just in time for the deadline.

If you all have not seen our latest teaser, have a peak, drop a comment.  Show your support for the project.  Help Austin's film industry grow and support the arts!

Picture Lock!!

Picture is LOCKED!!

At least for now.  The picture is at a good enough point where I feel comfortable to start working on audio.  And I need to get started on that as soon as possible because there were so many problems with audio on location.  We had lawnmowers, dogs, planes, cicadas, and a whole lot of awefulness.  To top it off, our boom mic did not have a windshield, so it didn't take much for a small gust of wind to destroy the audio.

But hope is not lost.  I've fixed worse. 

Also there should be another video posted soon so STAY TUNED!!

I've got to get back to work!  Or sleep.  Whichever comes first.

Greetings fellow foam fighting adventurers!

We've been hard at work trying to get the first episode done.  It's been two weeks since my last confession ... err, blog.  Apparently I have been slacking on the blog and I was attacked earlier with one of them catholic guilt trips.  No ... more like blackmailed.  More on that later.  Maybe.  Hopefully not, but it's out of my hands.

We've got a new video up, please check it out and like it.  Or leave comments.  Let us know what you all think.  Remember, if you have nothing good to say, it'll probably pass as comedy :)

The first episode is coming along.  There's still a lot of fat that needs to be cut out.  That's what we're hustling to get done by August 28th.  One thing we are struggling to find is music.  Chances are the first episode will be posted with temp music.  Don't worry, it's not too horrible.  And so far it's all music we have the rights for.

Back to the Cut

Just got back from the Rio Grande Valley where I was supposed to continue work on syncing sound and editing the first episode of Foam Fighters!  Unfortunately, in my half senile state, I gathered the hard drive I would be working from but forgot to pack it.  It wasn't until I reached San Antonio when I realized it was missing.

I cut my vacation short to get back to Austin asap and get back to work.

Anyway, here's a little teaser to keep your interests peaked.  The footage is looking good.  Can't wait to get closer to the end product.
