  • Thank you guys both so much for all of your guidance! I have finished sending in my applications and am now waiting for the door to start knocking back.

    Thanks again,

  • Hey guys,

    Here is what I hope is the last installment. I spent several hours roto-masking the woman and I think I was able to bring her up enough as well as bring out what detail remained in the overexposed window. After all that work, I’ll definitely give the director a slap, Mark! I’d love to hear your thoughts, since I feel I have made as close to a definitive version of that scene as I could.

  • Hello again!

    I’ve taken some time off to work on some other projects and have just finished revisiting this reel. I totally redid the audio for Magnolia, as well as remixed Deliverance a bit and I’ve made some video edits to both. The editing breakdown now has a wipe that reveals more, too. I’ve done my best with the backlit Magnolia shot and am afraid I’ve coaxed it out as best I could. Renato mentioned a hose in the killer’s sleeve, but it is just the cuff of his shirt.

    Please let me know if you think anything else major should be changed, but thanks to both of you I feel a lot better about it!

  • Round two! If you still think the Magnolia scene’s audio is still rough (I might agree myself), do you have any advice on sharpening the dialogue? I tried manipulating a Parametric EQ as well as Compression and Noise Reduction but it’s quite a piece of work.

  • You’ve got some great points. With regards to the heart, as I understand, it was actually intended to be a liver, creating a pun with the title and somewhat explaining the ease of removal.

    Haha, unfortunately the director got stuck using one mic for the Magnolia scene so I will do my best to work that up.

    Good guess! It was actually TMBG, and I think you’re right about losing it. I’m a sucker for threes so I felt one more piece was necessary, but a correction split screen is a very nice idea that I will totally look into.

    I can’t thank you enough for your advice and I’ll have a new version up soon.

  • Hi Mark,

    Here is my first stab at this. Thanks for being so generous!

  • One more question: when you mention having it short, I can very comfortably do so in about 2 minutes, is that too long?

  • Thanks for the wise words! I’ll get to work on putting this together—I don’t have one scene that can capture all of those skills, but I do have two! I’ll see what I can do and I’d greatly appreciate your feedback. Thanks again.
