This is the final project for my Intermediate Editing class. I drew heavily on 7:15FX, an extracurricular visual effects group that I am a part of, for talent and technical support. Four of us are in the same editing class, so it was easy to turn this into a group project. I wrote the script and drew some storyboards; I was also both the director and cinematographer during production. Alexis Tomashosky was the production assistant, helping me to set the lights, managing the microphone boom, assisting the actors, and doing some set dressing. Jon Franks, Ian Morrell and Grant McMinn were the actors. During post-production, I did the editing, audio, some stylistic color grading, and a little bit of visual effects—the blood splatters on Ian’s shirt were mine. Jon did all the rest of the visual and audio effects, which was mainly the muzzle flashes and gunshots. Alexis did the color correction and a little bit of editing.
The piece was shot with a Panasonic DVX100a DV video camera. Edited in Premiere, mastering and effects in After Effects, audio in Soundbooth and Acid.
