The Making of Freedom's Fury
at Apple SOHO, on April 30, 3pm.
I got there 10 minutes late but fortunately, they began a little late so I didn't miss anything. The Sibs, Colin + Megan, are the co-directors for this Yugo water polo team documentary during turbulent time in 60s. They talked about the story and the project briefly, but it was Michael, the editor, who really ran the show because a)it was about how he used FCP to edit this documentary, b)the documentaries are made in post.
Michael said that he went from G3 to current G5 for 5 years of production time, upgrading FCP along the way. He showed how he jazzed up the archival footage with FCP. Most importantly, he emphasized of organizing footage and other elements religiously for the faster post process and I can't agree more. He showed how he created contact sheets using Photoshop for all his photos for quick reference.
At the QA session, I asked him about how he felt about resolution challenge since they shot in DV and planning to blow up to 35mm for the distribution. He felt the resolution held fine for the blow-up as their post house up-scaled it nicely.
It was a nice presentation overall and I picked up few things about documentary post process, but I was disappointed to see only a few in attendance. Maybe other filmmakers are busy working instead of enjoying the festival and this presentation.
I picked up a nice Apple Tribeca Festival poster and promised to attend more presentations in coming days.
