So Close...


Since we locked picture the week before Christmas, we've moved on to final finishing.  The biggest issue now is sound, final colour grade and online.  Sound is up and running at Ardmore Sound, including Foley, sound design and a final Dolby mix.  The grade has been completed at Windmill and some graphics work has been booked in.

I saw the picture in full HD resolution during the grade and it was great to see it in all it's glory at last, having got used to viewing the low resolution versions during the off-line edit.  Stephen came over for the grade with Dave at Windmill.  We've pushed the sense of the accident /traffic jam happening late in the day which links in well with the drive home.  Here's a set still coloured to mimic what the grade looks like.

So if all goes well now, I hope to deliver the HD version of the film by mid February.  Striking the 35mm print will be a whole new adventure.
