Production Note #22

It’s pretty late on this Friday, time for another Production Note.

In the last seven days, Wolfgang spent a lot of time creating content for the new website. He wrote all kinds of texts and synopses of different lenghts, selected photos for the “Behind The Scenes”-section and put together a Director’s Statement that turned out to be much longer than expected – we hope it will still be interesting for you.

The website looks pretty good already – the main thing still missing is the trailer, but that will take some more time.

Speaking about time, here’s the most interesting news of this week: We fixed dates for the last two post production steps this week: Color grading will happen in early May, and Sound Design/Sound Editing will happen from June 6 to June 10.
THIS MEANS THAT ON JUNE 10, OUR MOVIE WILL BE READY!

To keep this schedule, we have finish the editing process and come to a Picture Lock status pretty soon. Our title designer delivered the last title details this week, and Lisa spent the whole day today integrating all those titles and polishing all the scenes.

Next Monday, Wolfgang and Lisa will screen the new version and put some last touches on it. We will then screen the movie with Stefan and another editor and focus on scene transitions – fades, soft cuts, hard cuts etc. We will probably execute the findings of this session right on spot, and that should be the end of the editing process. Not sure if we’ll be able to accomplish all that next week, but it sure wouldn’t hurt if it would work out so fast.

As soon as the editing process is done, we’ll start working on the trailer. It’s still hard to tell how long that will take, but hopefully not too long – we really can’t wait to show you the first images of our movie.
