Been A While

Hey everyone,

It's been a while since I've posted any updates.

We've been knee deep in production on Guiding Finn. So far, the shoot has been going great. 10 of the 33 scenes are in the can and look great. The performances have been better than we even hoped for

Glad to hear that shooting is going well!
I know (*sigh, too well!*) what you mean about bad sound..... I'm groaning through post on mine and even with dubbing, it's not so hot.

Well... I guess if this were easy, a billion MORE people would be attempting to make film/video, no? ;)

Very true! I know a TON of people who TALK about making a film, but none of them ever do. It's hard freeakin' work (especially at our level where we wear so many hats on set).

But that's why you just keep shooting and shooting and shooting and stay open to criticism and constantly evalute what you're doing. It's the only way to get better...

That's awesome. Glad things are going great and you guys are learning and improving alot.

I'm also glad to hear you guys like the marantz recorder. That's the exact recorder we're purchasing with some of the profits we made from the premiere of our feature. Should only be a month from now and hopefully I'll be saying the same thing.

Roxics,

I'm sure you'll be saying the same thing! It's a great machine (battery draining aside).

Just make sure you leave enough money in the budget to get another CF card. The 64 Mb card it comes with can only hold 2 hours of MP3s (don't even bother trying to record WAVs with that card). For $20 at Circuit City, I got a 128 Mb card that holds up to 4 hours. Between the 2 cards, we haven't had any issues running out of recording time. But your best bet (I wish we'd had the money to do this) would be to spend the $100 and get a 1Gb card. That'll hold you over for sure!
