SOUND MIXING AND GRADING START ON EDIE
Edie has moved on to it's final stage of colour grading and sound mixing. The film was shot 4K with Zeiss Prime lenses on the Arri Alexa. The sound is being mixed in Dolby Atmos with multiple records of wind and atmospheres specially recorded for Edie in Scotland.
RECORDING THE SCORE FOR EDIE
We are now entering the final month of post production on my film Edie. One of Britiain's finest film composers Debbie Wiseman MBE recorded the score last week at Angel studios in Islington, London. It's truly a beautiful and poetic piece of work that richly enhances the film. The score is orcestral with solo guitar symbolising the heart of Edie, our adventuring hero. Attention has now turned to sound mixing and grading at Post Republic in Berlin, Germany.
EDIE IN POST PRODUCTION (UPDATE)
Edie is now heavily into post production - with one of our two pick shoots complete. The next shoot is in early September to complete a hotel interior scene with Sheila Hancock. Shortly afterwards the cut will be locked and we will move into sound post production and colour grading. The aim is to have the picture compete by late November of this year.
