Documentary Post-Production

I had a little involvement in post-production, but most of the work was done by the editor Ben and sound designer Lucy with the help of the director Ben.
Lucy spent a lot of time cleaning up all of the sounds before collaborating with Ben Wilson to synchronise the artist interview. Ben and Lucy then worked together to put together a good cut of the film with voxpops over the top, and then spent time turning this into a fine cut. Lucy then put this into Soundtrack Pro to mix the atmosphere and extra sound FX as well as sort out the levels of sound. This was then put back into Final Cut to produce the final edit ready to export.

I think that the film is gorgeous little slice of life from many different walks of life, and there are some really interesting interview pieces from Yasmeen that run all the way throughout.
We also had a friend of Lucy's compose a piano soundtrack to accompany the film, which really compliments the mood of the piece. I was really happy with this addition.

Only time (and the reactions of the viewers in our presentation) will tell if the film was a success or not.

All I know is that I am very proud of it :)
