I woke up somewhere around noon and it was time to hit the ground running. Everything rendered out of After Effects. My computer didn’t crash this time. There is nothing really wrong with it, but it desperately needs an update on the memory and processor department. Fuck it, a duel quad-core with 4Gigs of RAM would do it! My machine renders slow…..
To my horror I found out that the footage I rendered out was not wide screen. I began the editing process anyway know I could easily requeue up the footage. After getting the first couple of scene in place I began the process of fixing what I screwed up and started the render process over. At this point I queued up only by scene. This way when one scene is done I can queue up the next and edit. This occupied the better part of the day. If this was a 48Hr project I would of just used the footage I had and maybe fixed a few of them. But this for this project I had nothing but time. The tape just had to be post marked for Monday.
I had a few call from Gus Wanner about the score. He sent me 10 files by 4PM. After reviewing the pieces I put a call into him and for a few modification. It hard to come up with music for a movie you have never scene before. Gus as always did an outstanding job. I really don’t know how he pulls it off. While waiting for some footage to render from After Effects I started hunting around for some Foley. I had the principle editing done by 2AM so I started to add in the Foley and the score. At 3AM I was finished, so queue up the footage to render out and went straight to bed. All things considering it was a job well done.
