New News

It's done. The first timeline edit is done as well as some of the soundtrack. It clocks in at just under 23 mins. It's amazing. Really amazing.

I'm in the process of re-vamping my newdresden.com website into the new and improved New Dresden Media that will be the feature site for my little media company.

I'm also building the "A Long Slow Goodbye" website and it should be up in a basic version by the middle of next week if I can get as far as I think I can in the next few days.

Hope everyone is well.

Post Production Update

So hey, how's everyone doing? I'm starting editing and color correction now. I've finished about half of the first pass at a working edit. Things are looking so amazing. By the time I get the edit tweaked, color corrected, audio created and mixed, this film will be something we can all be extremely proud of. So with that in mind, I've created a picture album with 25 screenshots of what we did and one special image I think we'll all get a kick out of.

Go HERE to check out the shots.

Crash Site built.

So there it is. The plane crash. Zeke and David had a hell of a time getting it into the woods but it looks amazing.
