Friday noon we shipped off A True Patriot to the first competition we’re entering it in–we were racing to complete it before the deadline. After four 8AM-to-midnight days of editing, studio recording, and post-production, we finally exported it out to tape Friday AM. This is the first film I’ve shot in widescreen, and I really enjoyed the experience. I learned a lot while DPing and editing this film, as it has been a step beyond anything we’ve ever shot before. Shooting interviews/narration is especially hard as well–when you are both the narrator and the one lighting and shooting the scene.
The film will probably be released on DVD sometime late this spring, but I may be able to put together a short trailer before then. Hopefully a website and pictures will follow as well, but I’m already getting tied up in my next project…
IHS,
