Soft lock
Hi everyone.
Okay so I’ve invented a new post production term; ‘soft picture lock off’ meaning prior to music and archival footage licensing, editing has been finalised on the roadshow (directors cut) version of the film. Licensing continues with around 300 assets to clear. Things may need to change slightly as things come in but for the moment it’s pretty wonderful to have what we all modestly feel is a corker of a ride.
Present for this momentous occasion was (left to right) Producer, Ros Walker. Producer & Cinematographer, Joanne Donahoe-Beckwith. Producer Director & Editor, Rob Murphy. Executive Producer, Michael Smith. Executive Producer, Paul Copeland (behind the camera).
Running time? 00:02:15:12 with overture, intermission & entr’acte. Next is the cut down festival and general release version which has to be under two hours. It’s gunna be tough to finalise this when the roadshow is so perfect. Killing those babies aint easy.
More updates soon.
