ADOBE CS 6 Helped me finish my First film in 4k :-)

[jacob.schwarz]

After being inspired by REDUSER Party a few weeks ago at NAB, i took the initiative to finish a short film I directed in 4k and post on YouTube in 4k.

This was all help to the powerful tools found in Adobe's Production Suite. I don't belong to a big post house or have all the amazing resources just a little 2009 Mac Pro with RedRocket Card and Quadro 4000 but it all did the trick. After this experience however I will be investing some faster harddrives as they where only bottle neck i had through out this entire process.

Please check it out and let me know what you think (only 50secs long ) . Make sure to watch it at ORIGINAL quality to see it in it's full glory.

I'll be posting another YouTube video soon with a walk through of my entire process, so you if you have questions or anything you'd like me to explain let me know.

"Let's start moving at 90mph" and make 4k the new standard.

Nicely done.

The treatment on the wide bed shots looked great.
What did you use to create/animate the dragon/monster?

I'll be posting a video tutorial soon, but the major aide that CS6 offered me was when i was doing my finishing in After Effects. I did all my paint outs and coloring in After Effect CS6 straight from the R3D. Any adjustment I made in terms of color/relighting/paint out, etc that would usually require me to re-cahced was almost but eliminated by AE new global performance cache, if i made an adjustment i didn't like it i could just click undo and i could playback my previous cached preview.

When working at 4k files it was nice to not have to spend 5 minutes of rendering just to see what i previously had.

Did you have any other questions?

 

[Mark Kern]

Really great!

 

[Michael Millichamp]

LOL. Mark, I love that movie. Can't wait to see "Monsters University."

This was my inspiration for this short

I was going to ask if this was the inspiration.

Always liked this photo. And nice lighting. The under the bed shot was my favorite. Subtle blues with nice yellows.

I see you used a 2009 Mac with Red Rocket. How long did this short take to render? Good job by the way.
