'OMG' - Production Update

The edit has been finalised and the cut locked.

Shots have been farmed out for VFX, and the film for sound enhancement. Siddhartha Barnhoorn has agreed to score the short.

Post FX work is a lot more subtle than my usual films. I do seem to find myself with a rather large ratio to film length, OMG is a 3 minute short yet it has 14 of those shots that need enhancement .

Effects include a complete replacement of the mobile phone screen and a glow added when our actor interacts with it. A mobile phone mast will also be recreated for the exterior scene. Most of these enhancements will go unnoticed, as they should.

I am in the process of looking at the grade, experimenting, it's unclear to me at this stage if I'll do the grade myself or put an ad out and apply for a colour timer. It all depends on time and if schedule's are clear.

We are expecting to run through to the end of November with a release early December.
