Making the Movie Look/Sound Better

Hello! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend.

Quick blog here. We are hard at work making the movie look and sound better, but I've been wanting to throw the following into a blog for awhile.

Note raw footage from a scene with John Trigonis and Loarina Gonzalez.

Now, that is not bad. It's HD. Nice location, great actors, good shot. But its raw footage, what we got right from the cameras. Now, I mentioned when I was talking about the theatrical trailer, a conversation I had with our PA/Editor/etc. Sean Feuer. While we were putting the scenes together, he asked if I wanted to make the footage look better, maybe more like film. Well, of course I wanted that! Who wouldn't? So, we treated that footage, and the trailer looks as good as it does, but it could look better...

And that is with just a bit of color correction. Its subtle, but its one of my favorite re-colorings in the movie so far.

With just a few clicks in Final Cut Pro, you can take something that looks good, and make it look great.

This has been done to the whole movie. Now, we are tweaking bits and pieces to make everything match just a bit better. Same with the audio (Thanks, Joey Mosca!).

Once that is done, as I said before, we are going to start holding test screenings to get opinions on the movie, and see what else if anything, we can adjust to make a better movie.

Stay tuned!
