The weekend before last, David and I worked on our next project in the pipeline, the horror short “CONFINED”. It was a two camera shoot, using the new Canon 7D HD-DSLR. David was Second Unit Director, and I was DIT for the single day shoot, as well as Post/VFX Supervisor for the project. I also got a chance to work with a beta of Red Giant Software’s Grinder, which does a great job of transcoding the heavily compressed H264 QuickTime clips into Apple ProRes 422. For ease of editing, and to give us a bit more to work with when doing VFX and Grading.
The project is currently in the edit stage, I’ll post a bit more when it’s back in-house for finishing. Until then, you can catch up with the news and watch the brand-spanking new trailer here: CONFINED Blog & Trailer
