Long time no post. Fortunately I'm not the only one. Anyway, so much has gone on that I don't know if I can fit it all into one post, but I am an optimist, so here it goes...
EDITING: The film has been edited into a fine cut. I am extremely happy with it and have also received some good feedback. My editor, Dan V, has done a fantastic job (but I knew he would anyway, that's why I chose him!) and there isn't really anything I would change about it right now.
TITLE: The film has gone through a name change. Just Killing Time is now Chambers. In my mind it's better and simpler.
POST PRODUCTION AUDIO: Nick S, the film's audio editor & mixer, has started the post audio. We have cleaned up some audio, and added sound effects and stereo panning, which will help immensely. Still a little bit of work to do.
MUSIC: I have made contact with a sound engineer, Daniel, who will compose some music & soundscape for Chambers. He has already sent me some of his work, which is great, but is still only rough and will need some adjustments. I sent some samples of what I am after, music from the Silent Hill Series, which is really haunting and at times disturbing music. Perfect for Chambers!
CREDITS: I have started creating the credits, which means I have to turn my house upside down to find the list of names of people and companies that helped on the film, and then make sure they are spelt correctly.
FUN: Throughout all this hard work I did manage to have some time to make a Grindhouse style trailer from the Chambers footage. I'm Watching You! is the title and I may put it on YouTube at some point. Keep watching, I may post the link soon...ish. Plus there was fun to be had with pegs and swivel chairs in the editing suite...
DATES: The date for the Advanced MAPS Screening has been finalised, the 29th November at the Palace Nova Cinema on Rundle Street (Hooray!). The Cert 4's Screening is the 28th November at the same location (hands up how many people wanted to know that...thought so). Can't wait...
MARKETING: A poster and proper trailer is still to be done. Marketing for the screening is still to be organised.
Well that's just about all the updating I can handle. Keep alert and I'll post more soon (plus a new salute).
I'm out,
Danny Steel
