Done!

Thursday, March 22, 2012:
Disher Music & Sound - Paul Zahnley made the sonic world, Tom Disher composed tasty notes. Francisco Hulse brought "Derek" to life in the studio. No dialog from the shoot needed looping, thanks to Darcel ("there will be no ADR on my watch") Walker. Jesse Spencer (Why Isn't Chris von Sneidern Famous) did color grading.

Asymptotically approaching final cut

November 25, 2011: Travel, fall ill, rethink some cuts, snip, snip.
More cutaways, offscreen dialog, fold, spindle, make coherent.

Wednesday, September 28, 2011: Sound passed muster with post-production, commit to clip choices, refine edit.

Saturday, September 24, 2011: Edit, edit, edit, go away and take care of business ... come back, thump cinematic clay, pound out bubbles, repeat.

It's a wrap

We shot at NIMBYSpace in one day.
Krysti gave Sylvia a black eye.  Sylvia, Jamal & Tom acted, Peggy captured. Victor focused. Tchell and Antonio said let there be light, and there was. Tefari slated, Jibron boomed.  Darcel sat serenely amid his sound apparatus, which looks like like H. G. Wells's time machine. Lorelei fed us. Challenges:
-- another film shoot just outside (a post-apocalyptic zombie music video I was told of late in the game --  Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - they were surprised too
- guard dog training up the street
- a helicopter circling the block for what seemed like ages - this is Oakland

You can plan the expletive out of things and still zombies happen. But it got done.
