CAP Hollywood Reflection #2

Currently, our film isn't a ton farther than it was last week. We still have a bit of filming to do, just reshooting some scenes I've now realized to be not quite as good as expected. That'll be happening on Thursday. Our rough cut looked decent considering half of it was finished in about an hours time around midnight. Definitely will be better for the final product though. It's turning out nicely though. Not much too say about it currently.

This past week, I finished the rough cut with awful credits. The weekend after, I decided to make awesome credits on After Effects rather than just lots of text thrown together on one slide. Prepare yourselves. Kidding. But they are cool. For the rough cut, I added the music and trimmed a few clips up. Then I exported. The file was huge (5 gb). I brought it into After Effects, re-exported with the horrendous h.264 codec that drives DSLR users and colorists insane. Brought it down to about 600 mb. Put that on a flash drive and brought it to school. Oh. And I shot the CAP Hollywood intro with M Becks.

This upcoming week? Well, I shall create a title. I shall finish reshooting. I shall convert those clips to DNxHD and import them into Premiere Pro and start to trim them up for our final product. Maybe denoise them some, start to grade, and resharpen? Who knows. That's a lot of work for now though. I'd be done too early if I did that this week. I'll continue to work on the CAP Hollywood intro at school on the school's foreign Final Cut Pro. Meh.

Yeah. That about sums it up.
