Website is Live

[Ah... ah....  ZSGQCCUDQWVS !!  Sorry about that.  Technorati verify tag.  Anyways, we'll continue - ]


One of the (let's say "cool") things about doing DIY movies is that you have to do it all your own self.  From lighting to lunch to directing to cleaning up when you're done, if you don't do it, it don't get done.  


Now that we're in post production, one of the next big push things is marketing, of which the website is a part.  Big part, actually.  Which means someone needs to get that thing up and running.  And when someone says "someone" in the DIY context, guess who that means?


So.  Brushed off CoffeeCup's HTML editor, whacked in some HTML 5, pushed it up to the server with CoffeeCup's DirectFTP, and there ya go.  One "Pardon our dust" website, live and well.  Well, maybe not all that well - You'll notice that the Photos and the Media pages are bereft of anything even remotely interesting.  And that the people page needs more... people-ish content.  


Still though, the thing is now up and kicking.  Take a gander if you dare:

Look for more content as the weeks progress...

Trailer!

Whilest you and I have been lazing about and snoozing and taking our ease, Maurice Moore's team has been working.

Well, despite our guiltiness of sloth, I do hearby present the first Sixufus trailer known to man:

Post

Nope, that title's not just a circular reference to this missive. It's a description of the current state of Sixufus: The process a film goes through after principal photography takes place.

Let me paint the picture for you:

You've got hours and hours of video/film to look at.
After you look at it, or sometimes whilest you look at it, you arrange it into the desired order.
You cut out the parts that you don't want.
You arrange it some more.
You add stuff - Transitions, visual effects. Titles.
You correct stuff - Color correction, effects correction.
You review. You go back to arranging stuff.
You remove stuff you added, then add other stuff that needs to be corrected.

Kinda a full-time job.

Then, when you're done with that? You work on the sound and music.

So - It takes a while. And if you're like me, and have a day job and a house to maintain? This may take a bit.

So let's come back full circle - Sixufus is in post. Somewhere in Europe, the brothers Rios are poring over the Sixufus production footage in the already-described manner. Meanwhile, Ben Pedersen is prepping his studio for the sound and music pass. (We'll talk much more about Ben in the near future.)

Meanwhile, the writer sits in Austin, cheering them all on. Because he saw this and hoped for the best.
