Update Nation


As the rough cut process begins to come to an end, I’ve begun to think about distribution and marketing plans. Specifically, I have started to research which website service would best serve the project. I would be interested to know if anyone has experience or success with any of these services. If so, let me know.
For my money, Squarespace is the frontrunner at the moment. Their own site is sleek, and the templates they offer look quite nice. The only problem I could potentially foresee is that the templates could be better suited for a personal website or portfolio, rather than as a project marketing tool.
I played around with Resolve, just to get some ideas as to what I’d like the overall film to look like visually. I’ve always, since principle shooting at least, been dedicated to a stylish green hue. However, every time I try something of the sort, it ends up looking more like The Matrix than I would prefer.
I am also dealing with a nasty continuity issue. To put it simply, food arrives out of nowhere. I have an insert of the plates arriving, but it just does not seem to fit anywhere in the edit without breaking the pacing. I will continue to work on it.
Best of luck on your rough cuts, everyone.
