Next Step...Editing and Beyond...

Tuesday, December 01, 2009

So we've wrapped principal photography and editing on The Reef has finally commenced!

It's SO good to be inside - not having to worry about what the weather is doing, not having to be in the water 10 hours a day, not having to re-arrange schedules everyday because of the weather conditions...and best of all - seeing the film come alive.

Editing is such a fascinating process. You sit through a long dreary compile of footage thinking "oh my god what rubbish!", but then you start to sculpt, play with the timing, rhythms, emotions, sound and suddenly that dull inert object on the screen starts to reveal itself as a true gem!

I'm also starting to get fully absorbed in the sound - the other great dimension of a thriller.

The post production process is a long road - there's so much work to do to complete the film so stay tuned for more updates.

Cheers,

Andrew

A Streaming Success!

Thursday, November 05, 2009

What a great day. Our world first live stream - on the net from a film set. Could have gone horribly wrong, but instead it was AMAZING. The cast and crew were saying hi to friends and viewers, thousands in fact. The viewers who joined us were all hyped, and the general vibe was that the stream was strangely compelling - even when there were quiet moments! What a hoot - inviting the world on to our set.

For anyone who missed it - we will include some portions online at some point - stay tuned for details. And remember you can always email the website if you didn't get a chance to ask a question and we'll do our best to get back to you as soon as possible.

I'd also like to thank the entire cast and crew & the streaming team who made this happen.

I loved it. Thanks to everyone who tuned in and helped make this a resounding success.
