Monday, June 16, 1997 - Judgement Day

Finally got the Beta transfers from the lab. There was a problem with the syncing. I need to go through the tapes and log all of the shots so that the syncer knows what's where (Scene, Shot, Take, Time Code In, Time Code Out). Meanwhile it gives me a chance to actually see something. A few of the scenes are already synced. I've got the first two tapes, roughly 2 hours of footage consisting of all of week one (unfortunately no Julie.)

Dave, Heather and I went in to Eclectus to watch them. Ellison was nice enough to let us use the Beta deck.

Dave is coming over. Heather and I can't wait.

What a relief. The film is beautiful. Rich darks, nice whites, great exposure depth. Both Katie and Sam look so good on film. It's a real movie! The sound that I heard sounds good, too. I wish the rest of the crew could see it. Maybe in a bit when I get the VHS dubs done.

Okay, the hard work is paying off. I'm re-energized. Let's bust it out.
