Waking up from the Dream

Have you ever woken up from a dream, and wanted to go back to sleep to continue that dream? Well, working on my latest film was kind of like that. It was such a pleasurable experience that I didn't want it to end, which is in sharp contrast to the rule of thumb that you're not done with a film 'til you're sick of it. As with any feature project, the job itself was an immense undertaking. I spent four long months entrenched in the miracle of breathing life into an unborn film, an otherwise messy heap of raw parts. I guess it's a little like how Young Dr. Frankenstein must have felt.

While I would have liked to relay some play-by-play during the process, it's a little late for that, but I do have some great news: IT'S DONE! As in done, done. Narration, sound mix in 5.1, color-grading and online 4:4:4 finishing (both done by yours truly) are all locked and loaded. Only the final step of mastering to HDSR remains. And who shall master our precious gem? None other than Matrix Professional Video, who has been truly remarkable throughout the whole making of this film. I've always enjoyed the personability that comes with their high-end professional services, but now even moreso. They recently expanded from merely sales and rentals to offering many post-production services, including digitizing, conversions, and mastering, as well as in-house Apple Color suites. But I digress.

Journey of a Dream is kind of very much nothing like Inception, but an equally awesome dream... in a very different indie doc sort of way, which is to say, far more real! Check out the new website, and spread the word. As I said in my previous blog post *cough, when I first started working on it in February, cough* this is a story that crosses several genres, which means it has mass appeal (RIP Guru).
