The movie is in an envelope awaiting postage... destination: Sacramento International Film Festival!!

Hello friends,

This is Martin Anaya, Director of the California Film Foundation. I have a special message for anyone who considers his or herself a film maker, director, producer  or cinematographer.

This Saturday night we are launching an amazing film making program we call CINE VISIONARIES. We're doing this with a training workshop by none other than Academy Award winning director KIETH MERRILL (The Last Cowboy).…

Well, mixing the audio, adding sound effects/foley. Sounding good with the sound track music (which just arrived).

However, I am having an issue with color matching. All the effects shots (rendered from After Effects) are "dark" compared to the original footage. I have tried several settings adjustments, rendered to Bluray, and saw NO difference. Everything is dark. I am suspecting the Bluray HD range of colors. On a DVD, I don't think it would be an issue. Everything looks…

Whew! I took last week off in the attempt to finish all the VFX on my movie short. With all the multi-tasking and lacking social life, I was almost 100% finished. One effect still needs development and a few need some fixing and re-render. I was sooo close. :)

I am trying to have the project complete by a certain date. I have had to compromise on  some of the VFX. There was a certain look I was going for, but with the time contraint, I do not have the time.…

I am inspired by this invitatiion and I would LOVE to attend .. to  contribute and be a part of this Visionary invitation .. as an actress, filmmaker and poet this invite makes my heart 'skip a beat.'

My heart and soul are with you ..unfortunately the rest of me is in NEW JERSEY.
