Okay, well, here we are.
I predicted that I would finish the rough cut by the end of 2012 (a few posts ago), but I guess I jinxed myself. Right? That's why I didn't finish? In truth it was a combination of things that I hadn't predicted: low spirits from not getting a job I really, really wanted - right at Christmastime, which isn't my happiest time, anyway - and Scene 50 was much harder to do than I expected. I did, however, poke at it a little every day, so the Showdown was done by the end of the year.
I've been visiting my mother in Chester, PA, for the last week, so I have not been editing like a fiend; however I have worked for an hour or more on several days, so...
The Suicide Scene is now DONE!!
Yayyyy!!!!
We really didn't get as much coverage on the stairs as would have been ideal, but considering that it was pushing past midnight on a workday eve and Rachel A-O (and possibly everyone else present, as well) was really mad at me about this, we got some good stuff.
The blood looks o-kay. It's not great, but as cut together in context, it's not as bad as it could be. I am a little relieved. The one thing I can say about it is that we were too sparing -- there should be MORE BLOOD. Too bad, too, because I actually have the remains of the bottle still in a box of S & B stuff under my bed. Why was there some left?? Partly because we were trying not to get any on my mother's carpet is my guess. I am hoping that someone who knows After Effects or one of those programs will be able to A) add a little more to the puddles, widen them out a bit, and B) darken the red -- especially on his T-shirt, and especially later in the scene as hte blood has dried. We shall see.
In any case, we got some great panic from Rachel A-O and some fantastically painful work from R.J. Thanks, guys!
The bottle breaking on the floor looks pretty cool, too.
NOW I have
Only the Hospital Sequence Left to Do!!!!!!!
It will be a few days before I can work on it again, but OMG I can smell the barn!
