Artifact 073

Something I discovered from the behind the scene photos was while I was on set directing I’d sometimes close my eyes or look away from the monitor and just listen to the actors. Not every take, but enough to realize that I was trying to focus more intently on the delivery and energy of a performance. I do wonder if this had to do with the fact that it was my first screenplay or something that I picked up to stay hyper focused and turn down the producer side of my brain. I suppose I'll know more on the next go round! 👀

It’s been 206 days since we wrapped principal shooting in Long Lake, NY. During the past 9 month period the post team has been putting all the efforts into sculpting this film. String-outs, drafts, revisions, music, original foley & score,
beautiful coloring, adjustments, micro-adjustments, tweaks, edits, updates, more tweaks..lol, you get the idea.
None of this would have been possible without my friend and super Editor: Erick Lee Cummings aka @inbloom.films. Erick has been in the trenches with me more than anyone on this project and has stayed the course to the very end. Grateful to have his commitment and passion to what might be the most ambitious personal project to date for me.

The Final cut is in! Feels good. See you at the movies! - T2.

A massive week with @fridaysatthepark
Burning the midnight oil for 5 straight days in the Studio.
Ben & Fernando at the helm!
The team put in some serious work fine tuning, enhancing, dialing in, and mixing together the music, dialogue, and sound effects into a beautiful 16 minute masterpiece of sound. Im floored at the TLC that supervising sound editor & music supervisor Ben Schwier put into this film. Feature level love!

Thank you to @maddistjohn for enhancing the special VO moments and @joshlippi for creating unique tones and expanding upon the sound landscape. Grateful to everyone for getting behind this project. @derekgtaylor, @davidtphung , @timanderson.eth , @cxy

Artifact 068

Foley is in full swing.
Ben brought a handful of every day items used to create unique sound effects in the studio w/ Chris last week. Having custom/curated sound effects elevates the film in every way. Creating foley for a film is something I have always loved! Upcoming this week Ben is back in the studio with Fernando building a 5.1 studio which is a customized studio room they built to help dial in precise spatial audio mixing for the film! 🍂 👣 🎙️

Grateful for the elevation!
Onward ₿₿ 🚀

Behind the scenes with Gregg (@panpanzon) and Mo (@mo.aerials ) back in Sept executing a drone follow shot. The concept was to track the old pick up truck as it drove down Main Street and over the bridge. The rain settled for a short window to a slow drizzle but allowed us to capture 3 takes before it started pouring again. Ready, Set, Rain! 🎬

Sharing a screen grab from one of our virtual coloring sessions, working scene by scene with colorist, artist, and man of many hats, @ljlooksyoung

Before we can dive into the fun of color, grading, and stylizing, LJ spends time bringing continuity to the entire film. That process requires subtle adjustments, careful attention, and lots of split-frame comparisons.

It’s an intricate craft that often goes unnoticed by the average viewer but it’s integral to the overall quality of the film. 🎨

After 5 months of reviewing footage and working through 14 different cuts, this week marks a huge milestone for our team, we’ve officially LOCKED picture.
Now we move into the final stage of the film which includes color grading, sound design, and audio mixing. We’ll be in this phase for the next 8 weeks, bringing the final layers of the story to life. Huge thank you to my friend Erick Cummings for the incredible work editing this short film and treating it with the care and attention of a feature. Excited for what’s ahead and to move into the next stage of the journey.

Dance with the dice. A slogan Nick Francis lives by. A way of life, a life warped by insatiable desire. Snakes eyes, double fives, ace deuce, six the hard way. Nick always rolls the dice of life and he keeps a pair dangling from his rearview in his ford pick-up named baby blue.
