Have you been to this site yet Secrets of Blackmoor?
The hours and hours of travel and interviews has been completed, a rough edit of the first film has been made and now they need to hire professionals to turn the video into a professional quality product. Here is what they say in a forum post.
Secrets of Blackmoor is a Feature-Length Documentary about the birth of the “Mother of all Games”: Dungeons & Dragons.Trailer
The hours and hours of travel and interviews has been completed, a rough edit of the first film has been made and now they need to hire professionals to turn the video into a professional quality product. Here is what they say in a forum post.
Now we have a 2 hour draft that still needs a lot of work. It needs that eyes, hands, and ears of many specialists to go over things and smooth them out so the film looks like a real film and not someone's home video.So buy a T-Shirt and help fund the final phase of this project. They have shirts in eight different colors. I have linked to the Black shirts.
A quick list of people is as follows:
-An extra editor to speed up the final edit
-A motion graphics person to do all the moving pictures and titles
-A 3D artist to make more of the animations of castles and other things
-A composer to do all the music. WE have one, but we haven't paid his entire fee yet. He worked on Fantastic beasts, so he is top notch.
-Lastly, we want to hire a real voice over artist to do all the narration.
Then we will be needing the next stage where the film is broken apart:and gets refined:
-A colorist to go through and make the images all match up and adjust exposures
-A sound designer to mix all the dialogue and music
Once this is done it's on to Mastering:
-The audio needs to be mastered for both a stereo mix and a surround sound mix. It also needs to be mastered for both a DVD and Theatrical setting. 4 sets of audio all together.
-When all of that is all put together a final movie file is created, the DCP file.
Film making is a complicated art with many hidden steps that viewers never hear about.
Some of things things we can do ourselves, yet if we are doing one thing, we can't do another; thus our production pipeline gets slowed down a lot. We want to get this done in a timely manner so people can see it.
We thought we could sell T-shirts to make this happen, along with the movie draft sample.
We are relying on grass roots support to make this project happen - so tell a friend and share our posts online.
