If I get time this week, I'll put up some stills from the film and a brief summary.

This mainly involved grabbing weird and wonderful sound effects from anything and everything I could get my hands on, building up some really sinister effects by dropping the pitch and mixing sounds together (for some reason my fridge sounds insanely ominous pitched down an octave or two) and then finishing the thing off by pumping up the contrast and messing with the colour schemes for the different locations. Cool for outside, warmer indoors, and very yellow for when things get crazy.

I'll render it out to DVD and other formats overnight tonight, and that's it until the first cast/crew screening in Manchester later this month.

It's been a lot harder work than it should have been. Mainly because I've been very lazy about the post-production work and been doing lots of non-film-related stuff instead!

Unfortunately no copies of the original web-site still exist (even on archive.org) but I suspect that when our first production diary entry was created on the internet in March '96, we were quite possibly the first web-site to detail the making of a film via what's now known as a blog. The internet's moved on a lot since then, and now it's more of a rarity for a film not to have an accompanying web-site!

But enough of that - you might be wondering what's happened to the films currently being edited. Well, surprise surprise, they're still at that stage. Various other projects have temporarily taken up my spare time (for example, a puzzle web-site I set up www.kwontomloop.com) but let's hope that this year some progress is finally made on the films!!! I know the cast are eager to see them if no-one else...

I've also had a play around with Google Video, so expect to see streaming versions of some of our movies becoming available via that soon. UFO Spotters is already listed there.
