Paperclip follows high school sleuth Jesse as she investigates several recent disappearances in her school. Not all is as it seems.

Sound and Grading work look like they're progressing nicely. Music by Scott Keever - Human Soundtrack Productions is awesome (as always). I'm getting more and more excited to see/hear the final product. Can't wait to be able to share it with you all!

Done with the Post FX work, on to the dialog edit... after a quick wedding video edit.

!!! Brief picture spoiler !!! (not any actual story points, just a BTS movie magic spoiler) I WARNED YOU!

Powerful tool, blender is. Complicated interface, but it's much better than it used to be! I have to figure out how to track the first 20 frames or so, It's a cool natural wipe into the scene from behind a pillar, but it occludes over 3/4 of the shot making it difficult to track. I may have to hand track those frames.

Masking tools are pretty decent too! I have to do her hair yet. The test pattern will be replaced by something more believable, obviously.

And so it begins! I've got the project over in Sound track and I'm starting to "checkerboard the dialog" Each actor gets their own track and I cut and paste every bit of dialog from that character onto that track. All the sound effects and non-dialog goes onto other tracks. The checkerboard is ONLY the dialog, making the audio easier to mix into the greater audioscape of the show. I'm re-invigorated for the project. I'm going to punch out a couple of FX shots in Apple Shake quickly to remove some light stands and camera man's feet "Schmiislegs"... then head first in to the technical tedium (it's like zen meditation really) of the initial setup of the dialog edit.

Looks like a locked cut! Just exporting for verification. Then on to the grade, dialog, sound design, and music!
