Color Correction: Pendragon

Last year, while working on Pendragon one of my jobs was the color correction. Let me just say that I love doing color correction! Not much can compare to taking an "average" looking shot and turning it into something beautiful. Sometimes it takes a long time and sometimes its just a few tweaks.

I'm planning to write an article for my blog about the process and some step-by-steps of the color correction process for Pendragon using Apple Color, but that is still in the works. For now, I've put together a 4 minute video of before-&-afters from Pendragon. You can view it here on my website.

Faith Like Potatoes Movie

"Faith Like Potatoes tells the incredible true story of a farmer, Angus Buchan, who leaves his farm and travels south with his family to start a better life in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. Faced with ever mounting challenges, hardships and personal turmoil, Angus quickly spirals down into a life consumed by anger, fear and destruction. Angus soon gives his life to God and starts the journey of a man who, like his potatoes, grows his faith, unseen until the harvest."

I stumbled onto this film and after watching the trailer I'm rather anxious to see it! A farmer from Scotland goes to be a missionary to Africa and discovers the power of God, seriously how much better could it get!

Visit the movie website here and be sure to read the "Story and Inspiration" and "Leaving a Legacy."
This link has info for the USA release and where to see the USA trailer.

The Velveteen Rabbit

Michael Landon Jr. (Love Comes Softly movie series, The Last Sin Eater) has a new film coming up "The Velveteen Rabbit." It will be a mix of live action and animation. Check out the website to see a trailer!

"In this brand new feature film, inspired by Margery Williams’ classic novel, one of the most beloved family tales of all time comes to life. It’s the story of a young boy named Toby who is sent by his busy father to spend the holiday season in the home of his stern grandmother. Toby’s world instantly changes when he discovers the house’s ‘magic attic’ where three forgotten toys – including a special stuffed rabbit – unlock a world of imagination that will change all their lives forever."

I don't know if it will be a movie worth seeing, just thought I'd pass along the info :)

Quick Silver

"Quicksilver is, on the surface, an application and file launcher. Should you choose to dig a little deeper you will quickly find it is significantly more than just a launcher."

I first heard of this program from Isaac Botkin and just never took time to check it out...till the other day. I watched a short beginners tutorial video, installed the program and now I'm hooked on it. This program creates a catalog of your files and folders and is quick searchable...and I mean quick! I use it all the time now to open programs, find documents and open folders.

You can download the program here - I think there is a version for PC and Mac. You can go here to see more tutorials on how to use Quicksilver.

A Collection of Fortunate Happenings

I saw this movie at SAICFF and LOVED it!!! It is finally up for sale on Behemoth! It's a 15min movie for $2...can't beat that. Watch the trailer here :)

"Hello. My name is Montgomery Pickett. Too many writers have an agenda. I’m here to write a story that doesn’t have a message, just a good story. Most writers also write about a bunch of unfortunate happenings, but I’ll write a story about a series of good events. Let’s start with three orphans and a treasure map left to them by their parents. When a sinister bank agent informs them that they must make their land payment in 24 hours or lose their home, the orphans set off on an exciting and perilous adventure."
