'Perceptions' Dir: Oliver Whitehouse
Picture cut finished. Needs grading but I'm not too worried about it as it's just basic levels and curves.
The project is on the hard drive of Avid 'p'. This makes it difficult to access but the picture only needs a couple of hours work maximum. I have it booked for tomorrow morning until 12pm so I will have it finished then. I have a Sony M15 deck booked for tomorrow morning so I can print it back to tape then too.
Sound needs mixing. Unsure as to who is actually doing that. I think Redford may be. I don't think the sound will be done in Avid as time on the machine is restricted. I will burn a dvd of the quicktime movie and an aiff of the audio for Redford to work with. Redford is doing the foley for it too.
This project should be out of Avid by lunchtime tomorrow, once I have the DVD for Redford and the picture cut printed back to tape.
I will probably master it on FCP for ease of access and less hassle. I will need to print the final film back to tape.

The picture cut is nearly completely finished. There are a few pick ups to capture and put into the timeline. I will do this tomorrow with the Sony M15 deck I have booked.
I will then finish the colour grade. This requires me to work with null objects for the 'graveyard' scene to mask out the statue that has been a problem. After that I need to de-saturate the whites so the grade doesn't look just like the white balance gone wrong. Then I just need to go through each shot to check consistency of colour.
Once the grade is finished I will render out of After Effects and back into FCP to do the final master. I will need to print the final film back to tape.
'The Gardener'. Dir: Laura Richards
The picture cut is finished.
A DVD of the quicktime movie and aiff audio is in the hands of Chris McQuillan who is doing foley and audio mix.
The film is stuck on Avid 'a' and needs to be printed back to tape asap to hand to Nick Light for colour grade.
I have a Sony M15 hdv deck book for tomorrow morning. Will use this to print back to tape before starting work on the other projects.
Avid 'a' is fully booked for the rest of the week but will go into uni extra early tomorrow morning to try and steal a few minutes before anyone comes in.
Chris will hand his work to Nick via Laura or I.
Nick will master final video.
