Here it is, finally finished. Phew! Now I know why I’m not in post production. I’ll write a blog entry on my stupid post mistakes later; for now, enjoy!
Details that may be interesting to the reader:
Shot 4k 2:1
Edited in 2k on Final Cut Pro
Redcode 36
Color correction applied to RedLog-exported footage from RedCine, using Colorista
Zeiss Ultra Primes, mostly at T2
Schneider True-Cut IR filter used on every shot except for the TV (16mm Ultra Prime saw some off-angle cyan vignetting)
All shots daylight- or 4500k-balanced (the TV had to be shot under a daylight balance, for proper color, so I shot everything else daylight for consistency) except for the ceiling shot, which was done at 3200k to keep the light bulbs from going too warm
There’s one shot that was done on a Lensbaby. See if you can pick it out.
More soon.
