Hitting the Home Stretch
First of all thanks to everyone who both viewed and voted on our Point Beer Webmercial! We have by far the most views, the most votes and the highest rating, even with some steep competition.
I’ve been glued to Microcosm for the last week. Our Sound Designer stepped down and as such I was thrust into doing the post production audio. With such short notice, this deep into the production and considering our location (Central Wisconsin) we just didn’t have anyone in our network of filmmaking friends that could take that over for us. I have limited experience, but not enough to make it go fast enough. All the same, countless hours after work and over the weekend in the Final Cut Suite have yielded some good results. The rough audio cut is done. I’m having cast and crew listen and give their pair of pennies on it and what we can do to improve.
One thing that needs to improve is our soundtrack. While we have some totally awesome tunes from Vinny Bex Dae, Awesome Car Funmaker, and Ryan and Kaitlin, we could still use just two to three more tracks to really round out the whole thing. Jim Carlson sounds interested and I hope to get some tunes from him soon to see if he’s a good fit for our aesthetic. The other thing we’re doing this weekend is ADR, that is bringing in actors to re-record lines because the sound captured on location is not usable. The cast has not seen each other since production, so I’m excited to get them back in the same room together to get chemistry rocking and rolling again.
We are still having a premiere September 5th! It’s at The University of Wisconsin: Marathon County, in the theater. We get started at 8:30 PM, so I hope to see many of you there! Again, we cannot put this film up in its entirely on the web due to some festivals frowning upon Internet screened films. So if we don’t get into the Central Wisconsin Film Festival, this may be the only public screening of the film in this area for a long time and regardless the only one in Wausau.
In other news I’m looking at shooting a campaign ad soon for a local politician. Until I end my affiliation with the news station I work for, I’m not saying who it is. All the same, I’m excited to be getting straight back into the political process after having to take two years off for the sake of appearing impartial.

I so would like to go to that premiere. It’s not going to happen, but I will be looking to watch this at some point.
Will you be selling DVD’s?

We will be selling DVDs, but save your money, Mr. Tallitsch. You’ve been far too supportive for me to not be able to get this thing into you hands for the low price of free. If you could, send me an e-mail at erik.cieslewicz [at] gmail [dot] com and I will hook you up someway some how.
Also do you have your own Twitter account now that Vegas has taken over PackersNews?
