hello, internets!
as promised, here's every take from my first feature film chanthaly, plus the audio, plus the project files, plus a bunch of
other goodies. this 550gb package includes everything i used to edit the film, so with my blessing, have at it.
in december of 2011, i sat down with a couple of my friends here in laos. we'd passed a script through the lao
department of cinema censors, raised a little bit of money, and despite a pretty much total lack of experience, we sort of
looked at each other shrugged and decided, what the hell? let's make a movie.
now there's a lot of rough edges in here. outside of the 100 minutes that actually ended up in the film, there's another 23
hours that didn't. it was myself and three or four talented guys doing the work of an entire film crew often between the
hours of 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. we laughed, and we fought. the power dropped again and again. the set flooded. we set
things up wrong, realized it, and then set them up right. but this is a good inside look at how a dozen people in laos
somehow made the country's first horror film with a $500 camera, four lights, a couple rolls of gaffer tape, a refurbished
macbook pro and moxie. lots of moxie.
i edited the film in adobe premiere cs6 and finished the color in after effects. red giant was generous enough to donate
some plugins to the film: colorista ii, denoiser ii and magic bullet looks. between the limitations of the laptop and the
100
