THE FINISHED PRODUCT

Never did I think I think I'd reach this moment. The film is finally finished, edited and exported and its amazing to be able to say that. For 8 months I've been working on this film and to say it's finished is incredible. The journey I've been there to get here is one I won't forget and hope now that people like the finished film.

Why Do Exports Hate Me?

Once I fixed that 'noise' problem, I came across another. Once exported, there were times when a loud crack in the audio could be heard. The frustrating thing was, everything it exported, it moved position so I couldn't hone in on the problem. I tried opening the file in CS6, exporting different codecs, edit the audio in Audition but nothing seemed to work. I then came up with the idea of nesting the audio so it was on one track. This way I could export the audio alone and sync it back with the video. I exported the audio about 30 times. This allowed me to remove the audio glitch and replace it with audio that was clean.

Exporting Error

So there was an error that came about while exporting. When the film was finished exporting, there were some clips are there was audio noise and then it would go. After doing some research, it appears that this is a bug in some Premiere softwares. There is a 2 second delay on the effect operating. How I got around this was dragging out the audio clip, and keyframing the audio so it starts when the clip starts. This why the audio was at -100 and it allowed for the denoiser to work. Once it reached the video clip everything worked out. However it was very tedious.

Finished Editing

After weeks of effort, sleepless nights, and and endless cups of tea, I had finally finished the edit. Although that needed to be done was the export and the visual diary. Nearly there :)

Other Shoots and Editing

I finished filming last Thursday and I'd like to think now I've given myself enough time to make the film the best it can be. I have enough time for pick ups but here are some images from the remaining scenes.

 

Cafe Scene

The cafe scene was filmed with the guys and actor Darragh Water in the middle of March in the Civic Theatre in Tallaght. A rough edited was cut as well which came together nicely.
