Update #26: Traielr
Hi Guys,
We are getting close to finishing. The film is being conformed at The Element in Dublin, getting ready for the grade. It is also in the hands of the sound editor, Christopher O'Grady. So we're almost there.
Meantime, I've put together a trailer, still tweaking it at the moment but it should be ready for the online premiere tomorrow night on the facebook page, so go visit https://www.facebook.com/DerelictFilm tomorrow (Friday June 1st) at about 7pm GMT for the first glimpse.
Exciting!
Update #25: Lockdown.
Hey Everyone,
Big day today. Today we locked the picture. For those who don't know what that means, it means the edit it finished, we have a final cut. There is still a lot of work to do, music, sound, grade, but the film is as it will be seen and that is a huge milestone. Means we are very close.
Now, this probably should have been the case months ago, but for two main reasons, one, I delayed things by deciding I could edit it myself... and then realising I couldn't, or rather, shouldn't! Some distance and perspective were needed. And the money thing. Everyone is still working for free, so I'm waiting for schedules to open up and on free time etc. But that's ok, it's the nature of a project this scale and I was always prepared for that. Thing is, it's moving forward, and that's the what's important.
As I mentioned above, next come the music, I'll be working on that tomorrow and then next week with composer Dermot O'Mahony, it's sounding great I have to say. Then comes the sound mix, when everything gets balance and we have layers of depth and dimension added. And then finally, the colour grade and conform. Where we give the film a final polish and get it ready for the world.
I'm hoping that will be July. Fingers grossed. More updates to come.

Update #22: New Editor Onboard
Hi Everyone,
Been a while since my last update! Apologies! Things have been moving ahead. I took some time off after the shoot to recover! Then of course Christmas got in the way... but excuses aside I started to edit the film. I had, have, about 45/50 minutes cut. I say "Had" because after some technical problems and looks back over the cut I had done, I decided I didn't have the expertise, or distance from the project, to do the best job possible.
Once again twitter comes to my rescue. In asked a question about my technical problem and editor John Murphy responded. I decided then I needed to get a real editor in on the job. Things have changed since I last cut a film, I'm married and have a 2 year-old running around. So it's not as easy to just take off and spend all day and all night cutting! Plus, I'm out of practice, and I want what's best for the film.
John agreed to give what time he could, which will be two weeks at the end of this month, which should give me a good assembly, enough to enter a working version of the film in time for the Cannes Film Festival. That's the deadline anyway. And then hopefully we can pick it up after his next gig. Or, there'll be enough for me to work on and not mess it up too much ;)
John is currently working on Mark O'Connor's new film 'King of the Travelers', before that he cut PJ Dillon's dark drama 'Rewind' and has done a lot of TV, including the hugely popular Irish TV comedy show, Killinaskully.
So my huge thanks to John for stepping in to help. It's really going to help push things forward on the film.
Meantime, here's a link to a behind the scenes video, many more of these to come: http://vimeo.com/36162257
