Making Spoon

Indie Film Live is a new behind-the-scenes film blog, focussing on "the creation of a modern effects heavy independent film" called Spoon.

They let their fx contractors in on the blogging:

Spoon is an indie feature in development in South Africa. The team behind this feature contacted CineForm regarding using Prospect HD to complete the post work on this feature. The intention is to replicate some of the successes of Dust to Glory - an earlier feature onlined using Prospect. It turns out the Atomic-VFX guys are an adventurous bunch and planned to do much more with PHD by integrating into the product work-flow as a capture solution -- thereby bypassing camera compression for a much higher quality image suitable for effects-heavy work. Multiple cameras are to be shot this way simultaneously. This is to be an indie project that does not shy away from the tricky stuff -- my understanding is that there are to be many effects shots, greenscreening, nights and rain shoots, all on a truly independent budget...

The shoot starts in February. Until I have some projects of my own get far enough along to be worth daily updates, I recommend checking this one for your movie-making fix.
