Desolate - The Final Cut

After 16 months of planning, 10 days of shooting, and 100+hours of editing/special fx work. I can finally say, the film is done. Finished!

It took 32 hours to render out a rough cut and find all the bugs in the FX, and then 24 hours of fixing all of those FX. Then around 15 additional hours to render out each scene, one at a time, to make the final master cut of the film. Then another couple of hours to make a pass through the music and color correction.

I finished before I thought I would. Not only do I have a great foundation in writing, filming and editing now. But I also started to learn more about 3D modeling, animation, digital FX and compositing. What a wonderful way to finish my time at Dixie State University.
