Equator

Here is the equator on timeline. With advanced audio, visual effects and color correction a movie is editing to the middle. As expected, it takes an hour with a quarter. Looks like I will finish the first cut just in time for the last day of shooting on location, delayed until late April - early May. Still need to arrange the sound tracks without this chaos.

So far reshooting is needing only for one shot. Extreme close up - falls asleep eye of a character at the extinguished light, which reflects the Earth. The cockpit will not need for this. I think to put the camera under the monitor and display the Earth. Set the required shutter to avoid flicker. Then the reflection will be authentic overlap lashes than simulated on the footage. The eye is a complex object not a mirror or prism.

…Now the problem is primarily with the fact that the person got the shadow of the camera.

And still need to shoot an hdri in the cockpit before it will have removed finally. I have to shoot the cockpit reflection in the mirror ball from different angles. 

But first it is necessary to get such a ball in the Russian market, which does not offer anything nonstandard without fear of punishment. I remember how it was with rotating rail for the cockpit. "Who are you? From what organization? We do not have an appropriate tool now. Call later."

Draft edit.

More than a month I am editing our "Chronicles." Now gathered quite dense 48 minutes of the 17 episodes. A total of 51 episodes. So still a lot of work to be done. At this stage, decided not to bother with the compositing and graphics - accurately and coherently assemble the story is the most important thing. Where will need 3D inserts sometimes put patches of similar shots of other films, more often very rough previs CG using Blender. I take music from youtube. It must be done from scratch after too. By analogy with the one selected. No sounds and images on the screens in the cockpit. Some shots contain non erased wires, in some actor holds a subject that has not yet rendered. Some shots will have to fix-balanced, because our crane and light tripod head, which we used in the beginning, shook the camera more than necessary.

All together it looks like one of the films that I shot in 14 years on 8mm film. And to be honest gives me the same excitement as it was then. Separate details - all these transitions, movements, framing acquire the meaning which they had been included in the storyboard. Like letters in a sentence. I do not line up the material from the script to a movie for a long time ... Since the university. Rather try to put all the pieces into a whole story and start cleaning image.

In the meantime, here's the sun made ​​for a single finish plan, just to have fun. (Most likely going redo later anyway.)
