The Long Road Production Update Sept 2022

Hi Roadsters I hope you’re all well. Now that the summer holidays are over I can finally get back to The Long Road and have started on the final edit today. Here's a picture.

I am exporting the project across from Final Cut and will complete the film on Davinci Resolve which for my money is the best post production software out there. Although straightforward this is a time consuming process and will likely take a week or so to get right. It involves exporting the timeline and medias of the film as an XML out of Final Cut and importing it into Davinci. This process generally works reasonably well but there are always slight glitches, missing shots etc. so although it's supposed to automatically rebuild the project as it was, this never quite fully happens for all sort of computer reasons that are above my pay grade. This means having to do some amount of reconstruction work the other end and having to manually replace shots and sound and re-conforming the project just to get back to where it was originally so you can then start to re-edit. Now why do all this work I hear you scream? Simply put Davinci is the industry standard and a much more powerful tool for the job. The film will literally be better for it but as I found out last year when going through the exact same process on another project called Darkcode there are always incompatibilities between the softwares. However, as I found out on that project the extra work (pain) is well worth the end result.

I will keep you up to date on my progress but in the meantime strap in it may get painful. On a different note I have sent out all the perks I can at the moment including the shooting script. The remaining perks are now related to the completion of the film. Once done they will be sent out. I am determined to get the film finally finished by the end of the year. As always a massive THANK YOU for all your support and patience in what has indeed been The Long Road (I'll get my coat) In the meantime I have been uploading lots of content to my You Tube channel Terrortube which you can watch for free including my first feature film Through The Looking Glass. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRhN-Ie0Lv6COpMO8HHXVFw Please feel free to subscribe for more free filums. I hope you are all well and safe. May the road rise with you until next time. Big love Craig

Long Road Production Update June 2022

Hi Roadsters I hope you’re all well. Sorry it's been a while since the last update about The Long Road but I've been pretty busy on a couple of long running projects that have had very BIG deadlines and taken up all my time. Hopefully these are coming to an end soon. Since the last update I have sent out all the perks I can at the moment. Sorry if you haven't received yours yet but I promise you will get them as soon as they are ready. Most of the physical perks have been posted except the DVD's and the digital perks are still to be sent. This is because as some of you know I have been re-editing the film. Don't worry I'm not doing a George Lucas and putting in lots of CGI. I haven't got the. budget for that! :) Basically the film was finished about 3 years ago and picked up by The British Council who then spent a year or so showing it to all the festivals/sales agents. The general feedback was that the beginning didn’t work well enough so after about a year of trying to get a deal we decided to do a re-edit, which I’ve been slowly doing between the other projects. Then the pandemic happened and my editor wasn’t available and I was caught up with an interactive Zoom movie which is about to come to an end (That’s a whole other story I’ll bore you with over a beer at some point.) I’m hoping to finally get back to the edit at the end of the summer so we can resubmit and try for another deal. Having to re-edit also means having to re-colour grade, re-sound design/mix and playouts which is a big costly process. It happens on pretty much most films but normally they have the money to do it quickly. The perks of indie film making eh? I know this all sounds like a nightmare but actually it's pretty normal for an indie film. As I was telling my old pal and backer of the film, Sammi, I could tell you some real horror stories about what some of my friends have had to deal with. You quickly get used to it. It’s always a catch 22 getting a film made even for the big guys. You need the money to get a named actor, but can’t get the money without a named actor and even then you can’t always get a deal. It took Clint Eastwood over a decade to get Million Dollar Baby made and they even said no after he’d just won an Oscar for The Unforgiven, so if it’s good enough for Clint it’s fine by me. The re-edit would have been finished a year or so ago if it hadn't been for these other projects but I guess it's a good problem to have. Film making is always about juggling projects and I seem to have several that are just long running and full on…but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am determined to get The Long Road finished this year either way by hook or by crook as they say. And once it is I shall send out the digital perks/DVD's asap. Thanks again for all your support everyone, I honestly didn’t think this would take so long as it was designed to be a quick “guerrilla" style filum but life has as way of saying nope doesn’t it? Again thanks for the support, it really does help keep me going. In the meantime I have been uploading lots of content to my You Tube channel Terrortube which you can watch for free including my first feature film Through The Looking Glass.

Anyway as always may the road rise with you until next time. Big love Craig
