Just a quick update on the final stages of post on "Killing Down"...

Sound design is moving forward. Should have an ADR list soon and will be scheduling the necessary actors for this. For those that don't know - ADR is also called "looping". It's where new dialogue is recorded either to replace original bad audio, or to add a line to help the story. Also, the score is underway and I'm excited to hear what composer Roy Machado has in store. We're going for a "Latin" feel throughout (since the story centers on events that happened in Nicaragua).

While the sound and music are being finalized, we're also working on the "online" version of the movie. This is being done on a very high-end finishing system called Avid DS Nitris. This is not going as smoothly as I had hoped, but we are making progress (more updates on this later). Next step is to marry the new sound (when it's finished) with the online picture and finally output for color correction (TBA on where we're doing this).

So, we're getting close, but not quite there. I should know more in another three weeks or so as to when the movie will be totally finished. It's a long process - especially in the indie world! :)
