Well, the semester keeps on trucking. As I continue to pull
together the project, I’m still struck by the insane number of options
available with any given set of footage. Namely, I’ve been working with
Rachel’s cut, which she tweaked from my last one, and I’ve experimented with a
number of different “looks” that all give a unique feel to the proceedings.
I’ve looked at filter sets that stress the hot nature of the
setting, as well as ones that utilize the color pallet of the centipede itself.
Right now, I’m looking at a yellow-tinted, 1970s-inspired dirty look.
The budgeting process was interesting. I have a good bit of
money set aside from the initial budget for this very reason, and I’m very
thankful for that. With the seven festivals I picked, there is still several
hundred dollars waiting in the wings. Rachel did really well with the
spreadsheet, and I think I’m pretty in the clear on that front for the time
being.
Hopefully, everyone’s having a decent time with their finalized edits. Looking forward to seeing the rest of them.
