Final Beyond The Still Chapter Complete! – Entering Editing Stage
I’m happy to announce that we wrapped the shoot for the final chapter of the award-winning Beyond The Still Competition last week! All six winners were participated in the writing of the script over that last few months, and were flown out and to be present during the 3 day shoot and to offer their input – and they were a blast to work with!
I’m really excited to share the resulting short film with you in close to a month from now. The final chapter – and all of the other chapters will be projected at the Sundance Film Festival – which is incredibly exciting for everybody that has been involved in the project. The world premiere of the final chapter will be on January 23rd at Sundance as a result!
I really can’t spoil much or show too much – so for now, I leave you with a simple screenshot. This is what the Final Cut timeline looks like for the cut so far… and that’s before we add the sound design, score, mixing, and grading! What a project it’s been!

@Kevin Sherman, Can’t live w/o it
It’s been so exciting and inspiring to watch all of the Beyond the Still videos. I can’t wait to see what you’ve all done for the final chapter!
the timeline looks like an abstract painting – i bet if you crop out the rest of the screen, blow it up, print on large format, and give it an arty title, someone will buy it.
have you seen the 7d footage in black swan? saw the movie last night – looked great on screen.
I see all the media files are mvi_xxx. Do you still transcode with MPEG Streamclip (which when I use it dumps everything out as one long file), or are you using Compressor now, which I know will leave the clips separated.
Thanks for all you do.

@Ron Dawson, I use MPEG streamclip for all of it myself- but the edit house did their own conversion – and I’m not sure how.. v
Wow… I believe my stark Macbook just froze a little by looking at that processor intensive project! It’s quite beautiful though… fantastic job!
holy Mackrel unbelievably complicated looking timeline! Hey there Vincent will you consider affording us some final cut tutorials- sharing some of your editing sensibilities- i’m sure we’d all find that immensely interesting. happy holidays bub- from Maine usa.

@David Kelly, haha! I know what you mean, my powermac wasn’t too happy about it either.
@Vincent Laforet, absolutely awesome looking project, I can’t wait to see everything come together.
What time and where is the film showing? I’ll be in Park City until the 23rd and am flying out at 3pm. Would love to check it out if possible!
