Thanks Ken!
Yes, we tried to keep the crew as small as possible,
in order to make it not look like a TVC-shoot ;-)
Nah, just kidding. It was a low-budget shoot, and so
we had to think about spending each Euro twice, so
that led to a small, but very efficient working crew.
And the lovely people of the Torino Film Commission
helped us tremendously in getting good deals for
gear, stock and lab & transfer.
And the people at Lumiq Labs in Torino, were good
enough to give us a 4:4:4 uncompressed transfer to SD
of the 16mm-neg for the price of a mini-DV transfer
(don't you just love it when it's the slow season? :-) )
This kept the image quality up high. Some people even
thought we shot at 35mm.
Edit was done on Avid Xpress Pro 5, with a proxy
of the DPX-files, and then the EDL used to manually
recreate the edit of the DPX-files, which were then
graded in Combustion 4 and rendered to an uncompressed
Quicktime. DigiBeta and BetaSP dupes were drawn from
this QT-file and also the DVD was rendered from it
with CCE SP. Soundmix was done on DigiTools.
The webversion was rendered with Canopus Procoder 2.
We are quite surprised by the succes we have in the US.
Italy doesn't seem to like it, but I guess they are
looking for a different style of story-telling now.
It's the same one of my filmmaking buddies in Aus had,
and then all of a sudden he was nominated for an Oscar
with his short film. Ahhhhh, keep on dreaming :-))
cheers
