It’s a prequel to Amityville in Space set on Earth.

Yeah at first I had the text on for longer and it followed the footage off screen but it didn’t feel right. Since it has that old 70s look it felt too modern and out of place for me.

Yep. I’ve done some tests syncing audio and it’s been pretty successful but I just didn’t have enough film to waste on shooting a clapper board. Just start rolling and action! 🙂

Camera is good but I also use de-flickering and stabilizing in Resolve for a more steady, consistent image. I don’t remove any grain (I actually sharpen everything a bit) but I use the dust buster tool in Resolve to take out the biggest dirt and hairs. I’m going to do a youtube video on my process.

It’s funny how the compression removes so much of the grain that it looks more like 16mm film or something.

Harry Potter of course. Just look at those Harry Potter colors.

I found what appears to be a production still where you can see there’s no background in the mirror, only black, so it was probably done because there was no set back there.

Trying to avoid seeing a non-existent part of the set? Avoid seeing lights?
