Completed Project: “Richard Caswell: A True Patriot”

by John Calvin | March 10th, 2008

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,

John Calvin
