AZ Underground Film Fest, RED 3D, & HD-DSLR

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

The latest news roundup:   I just spent 4 days working on a music video shoot for the new single from DAVID J. (of BAUHAUS) It was great to get a chance to work with a combination of cameras: a Sony EX-1, Canon 5D and 7D, and our AJA KiPro. I’ll also be helping out with post-production.

There is yet another chance to catch our short, L’ACCORDATORE. This time we’re an official selection of the Arizona Underground Film Festival , which runs September 18th – 25th, 2010 in Tucson, AZ.

I would love to attend this one, but I’ll actually be out in Los Angeles for Lee Stranahan’s 3D BOOTCAMP on Saturday the 25th, learning to shoot 3D with a dual RED camera rig.

Best Short Film, 2010 LVFF

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

It’s been crazy since I returned to Nyack a couple of weeks ago, so it doesn’t surprise me that I completely forgot to post about our trip to Sin City.  Still, how on earth could I ever forget that we won Best Short Film!  We screened in the first block of Shorts on Saturday afternoon, and on Sunday morning producer George Elias and myself took part in the Filmmaker’s Panel.

The Philly Indie Fest was last weekend, and in a few weeks, we screen out in Los Angeles at LA ShortFest.

L’Accordatore Production Diary

LAccordatore The Tuner Production Diary.

Here’s a link to the production blog for the short film that we just finished, it’s now going out for consideration to festivals.  We should have our IMDB listing in the next few weeks as we’re being considered for inclusion by the Rhode Island International Film Festival.

I’m really proud of the work we did, not only the compositing, but the color grade as well.  This was the first project where I’ve had 4k RED footage to play with!   Final color grading was done in AfterEffects CS4 at 4K in 32-bit float using a combination of standard tools and Magic Bullet Colorista.  Final render was 1080/24p in ProRes 422HQ.  Finishing for DVD and other media is being done by our friends at FINI in NYC.
