This is Cane Toad Productions' 2010 48 Hour Film Project entry for Inland Empire (our second city in three weeks.) We drew the genre Film de Femme. Required elements where: Prop: A tooth brush Character: Ned or Nora Hammond, Photographer Line of Dialog: "No, that's not right." --- Technical stuff. While we prepared for a 3D shoot, the story/genre did not lend itself to 3D. So all was shot on a Canon 7D and Zoom H4n. I didn't rent lenses for this project, so I used what I had 28 & 50mm primes and an 18-200mm zoom. Used the Redrock Micro follow focus rig (Captain Stubing.) This time the editor was a FCP guy, so all the 7D files where converted to CineForm MOVs for RT editing on his Mac via a Blackmagic Intensity card. While the editing and finishing was FCP based, all the color correction and reframing was done on the PC using FirstLight and Premeire CS5. During the edit, we regularly export FCP XML files for a near perfect import into CS5 on Windows. I then used the combination of CS5 and FirstLight to do all the corrections as CineForm Active Metadata. I exported the new color database to a thumb drive to install on the Mac. FCP was never even shutdown and the whole timeline was reframed (2.39:1) and color timed in an instant. I had never done this from PC to Mac mid project before, and it worked perfectly. The film you see here was written, shot, edited and finished in HD 24p, within 48 hours.
