The Turning Updates
Notes from Director Dale...
UPDATES...WHAT'S NEW? Music, and Beheadings!
Exciting steps have made toward the completion of our film.
I had this idea of Alexis chopping off the head of one of the "infected" characters. So, I went to FILMLOOK in Burbank to work on the visual effect for us.
J.C. HAYDON was the Shake artist who painstakingly digitally "removed" the head of the stuntman (Jeremy Frye) and motion tracked it to the ground. Fun stuff.
The final effect is so quick (less than 1 second/30 frames)...I wonder if anyone will notice it's there! - I'm hoping Sound Design can help sell it.
ORIGINAL SCORE for THE TURNING IS DONE!
After weeks of hard work...the original score to The Turning is finally completed!
Many, many thanks to the creativity of composer COLIN CHIN (Chintones Music) (Until the Night, Mr Jinx, Red Herring).
Colin worked very hard to create an evocative score that not only is original, but captures the poignant, heroism and haunting tone for our film.
At first, it was very difficult separating myself from the temp score...But I am very pleased and impressed with the final result.
Considering our "low-budget" situation, Colin was not only professional, but extremely patient with me.
He was so generous... I enjoyed the many hours working with him, as well as talking about filmmaking in general.
MUSIC FOR THE END CREDITS IS ALSO COMPLETED!
Props to MENG FI for turning in a track that made the final cut!
Amazingly, MF turned in the track after only a couple of days.
When Glenn and I listened to the cut for the first time, we were blown away!
It has a great energy and vibe to it that will be a perfect ending and balance to our film score which has a "classically orchestrated" sound.
I hope people enjoy the music to our film!
Also, SPECIAL THANKS to the many other talented musicians who generously submitted their music for consideration of our project.
(We look forward to working with them in the near future!)
So...What's next? - SOUND DESIGN!
With final picture locked and music and score completed, the film is now scheduled to be delivered to APPLIED POST AUDIO in Santa Monica. There, WOODY WOODHALL will create the rich bed of sound effects needed for the film as well as the final mix.
Then, it will be back to FILMLOOK for final color correction and polishing....
Then we'll truly be DONE!
Sorry, no pics this time... Photo stills from the film COMING SOON!
But here are a couple of sound samples for your listening pleasure...
