This morning was the single most exciting part of the REPO post thus far... THE DI color grading for the film... I was finally able to dial in the look I want for REPO... There is a hyper stylized look I am trying to accomplish - and this morning I SAW it come to life!
So - I need to address why I haven't been updating on REPO for a while - and overall the STATUS of where we are at...
Last week I spoke with bloody-disgusting.com about the status of repo... Here is what was said...
"Repo - has turned out to be a MUCH bigger process than anyone first thought.... We have over 50 songs - on top of that, numerous jingles ? and score pieces ... Its taken a long time to compose - master, and mix. Also the visual effect process is growing in size - I started off having a vision of a couple visual effects here and there... Well lets cut to three months later - where a couple visual effects has turned into over 200 visual effects... Including set extensions, CGI elements, etc. Also, something I am excited about ? is the animation ? we have quite a bit of animation in the movie ? drawn by none other than TERRANCE ZDUNICH (who also plays one of the leads GRAVEROBBER and the writer) he couldn?t begin drawing until the movie was locked ? as a lot of what we was drawing was based on completed visual effects, etc
Long and short ? we are speeding along at a rapid pace trying to get this movie done, ? but, at the same time ?this is a movie that I have been fighting to get made for what seems like forever I want to do it right... This is my passion project ? and when it goes out to the world ? I want to be proud ?and not ?wish?, wish I had done this, wish I had shot that.
Thank God I have producers who have been so supportive and have let me take the time I need to finesse this film."
So hope that clears some stuff up... This film has become my life... my blood and tears going into it... I need to make sure EVERYTHING is not just right -- BUT PERFECT!!!!
Well, enough talking - back to coloring the movie!!!
More soon!
