With my one-week off from school rapidly coming to a close, I thought it’d be cool to write a few lines on what I’ve been up to the last week.
Been working on “Campsite” quite a lot, been showing it to a bunch of filmmakers, FXhomers and friends to get a few ideas before moving in too deep in post-production. While it’s really something new for me, it’s obviously very helpful and a big “thank you” to everyone involved in the process. The edit of the film has been locked, and I’ve now moved on to the quite difficult task of colour grading. Most of the film takes place at night, although we shot most of it daytime. While I don’t doubt that this was a good decision, it’s still a lot of work to make everyting look good. Especially when the main actress wears black make-up around her eyes, making them dissapear almost instantly at the slightest hint of any reduction of brightness or heightening of contrast. But it feels as if it’s all coming together rapidly now – everything is according to schedule at the moment, and hopefully it’ll stay that way until the film is finished, which is in April! That’s right, just a little under two months before the film should be finished. I’m pretty confident I’ll make it though. If not, expect blog posts filled with despair and manic outbursts the next few weeks
I went to the library earlier today to get some books for Swedish class at school, and came across their section for renting out video games. So without any cost, I loaned “Condemned 2: Bloodshot” for a week at no cost at all. Awesome initiative from the city of Malmö, that’s for sure.
I’m hooked on Twitter! While I joined the popular short-message based blogging website a couple of months ago, I’ve just recently started to use it more as friends have joined up. It’s a really cool system, and a cool system for posting stuff you find on the internet or other generally interesting notes. So if you’re on Twitter, add http://www.twitter.com/nilscrone right now!
Going to Gothenburg tomorrow early morning by train with Johannes to meet up with Fredrik and among other things attend “Fotomässan 2009” – a photography expo – to check out some new technology, cool photographs and loads of other photo-related stuff. Also going to watch “Friday the 13th” tomorrow evening at the awesome and modern cinema “Filmstaden Bergakungen”.
Hopefully I’ll find some kind of internet connection tomorrow – but if not, you’ll hear from me after the weekend – should also be able to post some pics from the expo!
Take care everyone!
Well, it’s been a long time coming, but I’ve finally managed to upload a high definition version of Zombie Exterminator, which should be easier to play for people (instead of the .mkv files used earlier). Go over to the film’s page and check it the now one-year old film in a way you haven’t seen before!
More news later today!
