Everything is pretty much ready except for some final sound-booth recordings, which will hopefully take place very soon, and the finishing touches on the editing process.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10270413-110993489775810049?l=divorcingdarthvader.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Neil Hendersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08895460718356703192noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10270413.post-1108449041936911872005-02-15T16:24:00.000+10:002005-02-15T16:32:02.396+10:00<span style="font-family:arial;">Some musicians/composers have agreed to let me use their music free of charge in the DDV short film, which is very kind of them and also fantastic for the movie! I'll announce those people soon on the Cast & Crew page, and they'll also get the necessary thanks &amp; credit that they are due in the movie credits.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">Post-production is still steaming along. The compositing shots are almost finished, which is the bulk of the work. That leaves a few special effects, a bit more 3D animation, the final editing, and sound/music scoring to do.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">Things are looking good for a late Feb / early March release.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10270413-110844904193691187?l=divorcingdarthvader.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Neil Hendersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08895460718356703192noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10270413.post-1107158824486369222005-01-31T17:57:00.000+10:002005-01-31T18:07:04.486+10:00<span style="font-family:arial;">Editing is proceeding nicely.
