Not A Feature

I really wanted my first film to be a feature. Reading postings on the D-Word I knew the task would be difficult but I knew I could make it happen. After taping, taping some more and taping much more I realized for a movie to be a feature I must have over 100 hours of taping and more. I had some taping but nowhere near what I needed for a feature. After watching rough and fine cuts of the film I have decided not to stretch what I have just to have a feature. Once I accepted that a movie can be good even if it is a short I am now going in that direction for sure. My editor and I will have one or two more edits before I do my family and friends show and tell moment. After that it will sit for a week before I send in my final changes to my editor. I am excited about the possibilities of what is to come. The film and the music is really looking great and I give all honor to my Savior Jesus for making it happen.

The best is yet to come. Stay tuned a trailer maybe coming in the next couple of weeks.

Problems

I had a problem with the music I had for the film but I am now getting it fix. The music I thought I had I am unable to use it (oh what joy). The producer will be sending me new music today I hope and pray. Yesterday I was suppose to have a fine cut of the film but I was unable to get it because the narrative portion did not get to my editor. Now I must wait until Wednesday to get the fine cut and work from that point. Will keep everyone posted

Excited about the week coming and the progress the film is making

Narrative - Studio Time

Monday I went to the FLS studios to record the narrative for the film and it was a very exciting time. Today, I had the opportunity to listen to the finish product and I am pleased. Once the rough cut is finished hopefully this week or next week I will know if I need to add more to the narrative and/or re-tape.

Once I view the rough cut I will know if I must re-record some scenes. I am really thinking I will need to re-record my childhood home which will not be too bad I hope. God is allowing the project to move forward so I am moving one step at a time.

This week I had some minor issues with the music but Tarik came through and I am happy. Well I pray I will be pleased on Friday. Friday is the day I receive the new music. Creating a film takes a lot of time, money and effort and I am glad I have the passion and my Jesus to make it happen. Living out a dream one day and one moment at a time. Excited about the future.

Peace, Comfort and Joy
