quick follow-up

I had a good conversation with our lead sound operative last night. Sounds like he's making good progress. His team has been handling all the post details, and final mix is not so far in the future.

Update

Things are moving along. Exact completion date hasn't been set, but it's coming up soon.

Fire it up

Let's hop in that way-back machine and head for the spring of 2008. Flowers were blooming, it was snowing and Kennyboy shooting was in full swing. Here are some "lost" production pics of our day with Terence.





Expensive stuff - in the sink!


I think everyone pretty much expected to see something like this.



Bad to worse...



As for that update, Kenny is getting all shipped off to our audio man, who will be working quickly to finalize Kennyboy. We're not quite there yet, but we're getting much closer.

Update?

This is an update to expect an update soon.

Congratulations...

to Nicholas Kocan, Kennyboy's Director of Photography. He just had his screenplay accepted to the Mexico International Film Festival. This is a great achievement, so be sure to congratulate him if you see him on the street or in his bedroom or however you experience Nicholas Kocan.

Adobe and Foley (Dave)

Adobe has CS5 out these days. Normally I wouldn't be too excited at the latest iteration, except they've apparently revamped the rendering engine so everything works much faster, along with native 64-bit support. Given the length of the editing on this film, it might have been worth it to wait. Ten times faster project loading time would literally change my entire life.

I'm also intrigued about their claims that they now support real 2 hour length project editing. We've entered the phase on the project where Premiere reliably crashes at least once a day. It did so well for so long, but it's back to its old tricks. I guess we've really pushed its limits and it would be interesting to see how it would perform in CS5, but we're not going to try it now.


Also, Keith Olbermann did an interview with Dave Foley of Kids in the Hall regarding his old communism sketch and how it prophesied Glenn Beck. The sketch itself is of more interest for all you Kenny-philes given its content and some of the specific assertions Mr. Foley makes. Check it out:

Don't mess with the sound guy.
