Scot McPhie Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 My short Hold Me Tight is finally finished. This is about an escaped convict in the 1820's - it's had a long and torturous post production route but is finally seeing light of day. There's a fairly detailed web site here - we ended up going with a really brutal bleach bypass and grain effect, which I think suits it really well. The DVD will be out in a few weeks and will contain: -16:9 Anamorphic version - 4:3 letterbox version - Directors commentary - making of discussion doco - Out takes (and there's some really funny ones!) - 37 minute rough cut long version - the original 16mm footage, before we switched to HDV :-( (depending on telecine cost I should add!) - Preview (trailer) - for Hold Me Tight and In My Image as well - DVD rom component with the script and web page etc - a couple of easter eggs, and anything else I can think of I'm starting to check out festivals now too - it's nice to have something finally finished - all my projects seem to take too long though :-( But anyway - I'm happy! Any thoughts/impressions/feedback welcome - I'm yet to redo the preview with the new bleach bypass effect - but will get round to that shortly Scot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Billy Furnett Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 This looks really cool. Great locations. Nice costumes. Beautiful actresses. Interesting info on the site as well. Should be a sweet DVD. Congrats on finally getting it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest John Lasher Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 (edited) One question: Why both 16x9 and 4x3 Letterboxed? Any DVD player made to spec will automatically letterbox a 16x9 image (for 4x3 sets) unless it's set wrong. There's really no point to having a separate 4x3 Letterboxed version, just wasted disc space. Edited March 17, 2008 by John Lasher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know that - my DVD player won't do that - perhaps there are still alot of older ones out there - so I might as well keep it just for that - thanks for the tip though Scot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
