An update on post production

Post production has gone really well. We found a nice looking font we want to use called “Catenary Stamp” on dafont.com, for the link to the font, click here. We made sure to choose a font that was in the public domain and fit the style and look of our film. We don’t want our opening to be basic and have text that cuts in and out, so we are going to go into Adobe After Effects in order to edit in the font so it moves with the movement in the camera. This effect makes it seem like the font exists in the world of the character.

Similarly, we found Royalty Free music on YouTube that fits the pacing that we are looking for. It is slow paced and suspenseful. White Coat is going to incorporate some parts where the shots are sped up for visual enhancement, in that case we are going to try as best as possible to line up the edit with the pacing of the music. If you want to listen to it yourself, click here.

Here are some clips from our from shoot. I had to compress them because they were nearly 1 GB file sizes, it would've taken too long to upload! In the first clip we played some music during the shoot so the actors would be able to get into the "groove" of playing their role. We are not going to include this music in the opening.

Since we shot on a Sony A7s DSLR camera, the file sizes of our clips are very very big, which can cause the computer to lag and slow down while we edit. All in all, this week we will continue editing our opening and hopefully wrap it up so we can have next week to work on our CCRs.
