  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

"Never Winter"

Moe and Omar,

Excellent job, great visuals really! would you care to talk about your workflow a bit more, how and with what were the editing, color correction, etc done. You obviously went through a lot of effort to maximize the production value you put in front of the camera but it would certainly be interesting to know what you did to manage it afterwards. Likewise, any comments on the cinematigraphy kit, lights used, etc, would be good.

Good luck with the project!
 
Great images in the trailer. Looks like a movie I would want to see.
Sleek website too.
Two thumbs up!
 
I'll let Moe answer most of the kit questions but the film/trailer is edited in Final Cut Pro from the 3k/4k prores proxies, then the raw files are brought into after effects were they are masked, corrected and subsequently graded.

And, Carlos, we did everything ourselves within our core 3 man team Moe and myself here in Miami, and our west coast branch Adrian Orozco. ;) This is how we work with all our projects.

Check out ExileMovie.com to see another project. Its a feature film we are currently seeking funding for. NOTE: it was not shot on the RED, we did it in 2007-08 on the Panasonic HDX-900 and underwater stuff on the HVX-200.
 
Congrats on Miami talent!!! In your yard if you ever need anything.

be well,,
Prio

I want to see this Movie!

The part I loved the most was when the image was cropped from the right to make a tight strip on the left with the word Hope.. the girl's name Amal being the centerfold of the story.. I loved that cut peice... It changed the way I see editing. It added a new technique ... the editor animated the croping of an image i was following and allowed me to hang to the small string of image... with the words hope... ahh... finessseee... absolute finesse.. thats fucking art...

it reminds me of anime... how animations are edited with cropping... basically how cropping can add to the story.
 
Hi. Lovely images and drama. Can you tell us what your full workflow was from shooting through to post in detail?
 
Thanks for the kind words everyone! A lot of hard work went into this film.. I'm humbled by the response.

I'll talk a little bit about how we shot this and work flow.

We shot this on the RED of course. We used the drives mainly. We had two drives on set. One was always running, as the other one was dumping footage onto a computer we had on set at all times. That also was being backed up on location just in case :)

We did experience a few problems where we lost some data, but nothing major and it only happened twice I believe.

Audio was recorded Externally. For some reason we couldn't even get reference audio from the RED. Not sure why. Which made syncing a bit more challenging but it wasn't a big deal really.

Credit goes to Egon at Cinivedeotech for making this possible. These guys have the sickest RED package you'll ever see. www.cinevideotech.com

We used a crane, jib arm, steady cam, fisher dolly, something called 'easy rig' or something like that. We also shot some scenes hand held.

Frame rate was mostly 24 @ 4K. but we also shot 50 @ 3K, 60 @ 2K and 120 @ 2K. Needed to dump a lot of light for the last one. lol. We used various shutter speeds too.

This was a seven day shoot. In post we used the prorez files to edit the film. Once we kind of locked the edit, I went into red rushes, red alert sometimes, and exported the DPX files @ 2K. Using time code from the prorez files in the edit. Some of the shots we Color corrected in AE. Then brought back to FC. Exported as TIFF. Didn't seem to lose any quality in the process.

All in all, I love the RED. THe quality of the footage is rediculous. Seriously. First time I looked at those DPX files I was blown away..

I'm sure I left some things out. If I did, please feel free to ask :)
 
Forgot to mention, we're using an 8core with 16G RAM, and three 2TB Graid drives.
