The Turning of the Blade

 Greetings, one and all! Well, here we are, at another tipping point. Color correction and basic effects have been laid in through Block 7, which leaves us at the final two blocks. Next up, Block 8, where I last spent 3+ weeks on the edit and sound sync alone. Or rather, on one sequence in that block. The Spire has proved to be the single greatest time sink in the process, and it doesn’t show signs of changing. With the scene having been shot over seven days in varying lighting situations, the first pass of color correction will be trying to even out the look a bit. From there, we can start getting creative.

Sunday, the team met again, and this time focused on a much neglected aspect of choreography in our group: Dueling.




Three teams, three scenarios, multiple attempts to record each one. No matter how well they’d refined it by the end, the first attempt always went off the rails. So… maybe memory exercises next? All kidding aside, they did a very good job, their fights had plenty of energy, momentum, and, most importantly, entertained their audiences.

Well, that’s about all for this week. Until next time!
