Y.A.F.I.:Underground's 2007-48 Hour Film - "9th Life&qu

Post by Knightly »

We shot fabulously (really cool looking footage), then fell asleep (literally) on the edit...next year, we'll have more than one editor working together on it to keep each other going. I would've woken him, but I was downstairs shooting.

We need to add a second camera just for tape import.

We need to push the schedule...moving forward always, no time to rest. Our shoot was pretty relaxed except for the main 5 folks on our shoot (DP, Director, Script Sup, Producer, 1st AC)...but that was a good stress.

We had one new actress who just couldn't get the lines down, so we had to rewrite at about the 3/4 mark for footage on the first day!

With 15 minutes to go, I was given the score to drop onto the timeline (not the composers' fault...it was due to the editor falling asleep, which is a risk you run in a comp like this)...the mix was too high on the music, luckily, the theaters' sound system pushed the mids for the voice and the music toned down miraculously! There was no time to work the audio to get rid of stage directions either...oops.

The audience laughed in all the right places. We're currently re-editing for other festival releases to try to get some awards! The re-edit is much better so far.

Here's the piece that was shown (we're not as proud of it as we will be of the re-edit):

Here's a rough of the re-edit:

That's a huge file...how big is it? I was streaming it to watch, and after 10 minutes it only had a minute or so on it.

Do you have a lower-res version available?

Does all seem very rushed but was miles better than half of the stuff shown at the 48 hour movie competition I entered!

When we did The Salesman I was due to edit with someone else (taking it in turns to sleep, etc) but after consuming a massive amount of Red Bull, Pro Plus and jam doughnuts we both managed to stay awake over night all the way to hand in at 9am. It was weird, but definitely worth it!
