Finished the last stage of post production

Here’s a poster I made for the film.

We completed the final stage of post production last Friday evening.

Once we created the interpositive, the film was transferred to HD (High Definition tape - so that we could have an HD master). This HD master had to be colour timed as well - since all the DVD’s will be made from this master tape (or a Digibeta tape made from the HD master).

We did the timing on an incredible piece of hardware called the da Vinci. The film is 11 minutes (2 minutes of credits) and it took three and a half hours to time it. Using this machine you can drastically alter the look of your film. You can colour correct any portion of the frame, alter the size or composition of the frame as well.

Traditionally, I believe, the da Vinci machine is used when a digital intermediate has been made. This DI is colour corrected exactly as the cinematographer sees fit and then an interpositive is made from the DI. Whereas I used the machine to correct an already colour corrected print (interpositive to HD) most people use the machine to do the initial colour corrections (DI to interpositive).

Soon I’ll have a press section in the sidebar as well where you will be able to download the epk (electronic press kit), poster, one sheet etc.
