Making a movie about freedom and friendship

Gotshrimp >> In the last two weeks we have worked on a very special movie project. Gathering a team from Australia, the Netherlands and the UK makes it an international project and soon we will disclose the subject to all. We have had a lot of bad luck. Imagine having shot a movie on 16mm, 15 years ago, having almost 9 hours of original footage and no experience in setting up a movie project. Our first issue was the investors pulled out because they coudn't handle our wish to make this a class 'A' film instead of a quick and dirty money maker. Our second issue was digitising the material and setting up our own film lab. We had a great time thanks to the support of people that know how to set up post production facilities and have no dollar signs in their eyes. Thanks 'Rene', 'Duco', 'Bart', 'Applestore MAC house' and 'Josh' for a significant contribution!! We now have a Apple powerbook and 1TGB la Cie harddrive with all the footage in original and compressed format. This together with a good project set-up in FCP enables us to select 'the gold' out of the 9hours of footage in low resolution and re connect to the original media once finished. Soon we will know what else we need to make this 'real life saga' a blockbuster amongst those who celebrate freedom and friendship and respect each other on the basis of love and self esteem.
