Welcome Back

Been absent from blogging but hectic with many pursuits:

A major one was recutting the film since the First Screening.

Front of mind was a need to bring in several scenes that had ‘mysteriously’ been left out of the cut that we all saw on Aug 8th. Then tweak pacing, SFX. So much for the image.

Secondly, was a proper post on the sound track – so over the last 2 months slaved over post-audio using Soundtrack Pro – which is fast becoming the professional standard for sound design.

Very happy with the finished results – the soundtrack creates a stereophonic world that complements the psychology of the images.

Anyway – enough of my artistic travails in the dark edit suite.

Great news is that Cryptopticon has been selected to compete at the 7th Annual Queens International Film Festival New York City (November 12-15).

Established in 2003, the Queens International is a unique event in a borough rich in entertainment history, including Coppola and Scorsese who were born here. The QiFF 2009 film lineup will includes over 200 films from all over the world.
