Starting the next section

Well, last night it was raining and I was tired, so I didn't go to Gardel's. Hopefully I can round up a few people to go with me next month. Instead, I actually spent 1/2 hour exercising, which was something I hadn't done since my back got messed up last year. Here's hoping that my energy level will start to rise with regular exercise.

Anyway, I did start on "Mother In-Law Zombie", as promised. The noisy night footage in "Corporate Zombie" still didn't look that great, but I'll come back to it later.

I finished color correcting the first scene of MILZ, and it looks pretty good. I spent most of last night trying to come up with the "look" for this section of the film. Each section has a different look to it: Rock Zombie is super-saturated and bright, like an 80's music video. Corporate Zombie is diffused and has a two-strip technicolor look. Mother In-Law Zombie seems to work best as a 70's 16mm warmish/magenta desaturated bleach-bypass look. It's kind of bleak looking, but seems to work well with the dark comedy tone of the piece. In trying to increase the 16mm look, I actually added some film grain to the first scene. Looking back at the render this morning, however, the grain just looks like noise, so I took it out and started a re-render before I left for work.

Tonight is band practice for The Dirty Marmaduke Flute Squad, so I probably won't get much done on the movie. Tomorrow we play our CD release party at The Patterson Bowling Alley, which should be fun (come see us play!!!!). But, again, I won't have much time to work on the movie, since we're meeting at around 4PM to practice one last time and get all of our equipment loaded up. But Sunday should be productive, hopefully.
