Documentary. Post-production. Deadline.

By 10:20

So here we are, the week of editing. Where we barely had any sleep, any food or rest itself. We are in every day no matter what and we fight with some computers that keep corrupting our work.

Transcription was a thing. We retyped all 30 minutes of the interview just to make sure that we include the most valuable and touching parts. The editing part was a collaboration mostly, so it's hard to say how exactly we split the work. We are just helping each other.

As putting all clips together not the most difficult part of the whole film, cause we already had a plan, we concentrated on colours and VFX for titles. Here we go. As I did titling in the end (once again, not without a help of the group) I will show you how on just one of the sequences.

Obviously I had to choose after effects. I already had some experience with after effects couple of years ago, but i needed to remember everything I knew. So here is the slight idea of what I was doing.

See the ceiling at the top of the shot?

I added a black solid layer to hide it and placed on a certain place at a certain time on the timeline. 

There we go. No ceiling anymore. 
An example of motion tracking. Here's how it goes. The bit on the left was made by the tracker that AE has. But I had to correct every point to make the action a lot smoother. The top one was entirely produced by me. 
This is how it looks on the timeline. I had literally to correct every single frame. 
Masking. Maskin. Masking. Pretty close to Photoshop, but with action bits.
Motion tracking of the mask, so that the text appears "out of nowhere".
This is our main sequence. Main editing process. A lot of stuff is happening there: BG music, upsync from the performances, interview, additional shots from performances and cutaways.  
Yeah, this is the main process that we are going through during editing.

Here's a video example of the title from the above.


It's 6:20pm on Friday, October 4th. We are in the library. Editing. Deadline in 2 days. We'll see how it goes.
