We Likes To Party

TWISTED was in party mode last night to celebrate... finishing post production! Much thanks to everyone who came out to support us. A highlight of the night was when Naomi finally got to meet Todd Rutt, our fantastic graphics guy.

This last two weeks were pretty rough. Very long and stressful days as we did a sound mix and color correction. It was very interesting to see how much can be fixed in post! But - things didn't go too smoothly at first. When we go to color correction - we heard a lot of bad popping noises on our sound mix. We still don't know what happened - but we had to go into crisis mode if we were going to get it fixed in time to lay to HD (which we did Thursday night). If we do say so ourselves, we did a rockin' job of staying calm and finding the right people to help us fix our sound mix. For reasons probably not bloggable - our original sound place didn't step in --- but we found a sound savior - Matt Gill - who stepped in and helped us. It should also be noted, we had a phenomenal colorist - Sandy Patch. Sandy knew what a time crunch we were in and worked to make sure we would be happy with our final product (including helping us with the sound glitches). Part of why we stayed calm was because we knew we were in good hands with Sandy.

It should also be noted that Sandy became quite the little balloon twister while we were there. Everyone loves the latex. As soon as we finished on Thursday night - Sandy announced a dance break. We put on "Celebration" by Kool and the Gang and danced around Sandy's studio as we kissed our tabe dubs. Then, Naomi accidentally kicked over a glass of water (you should see this girl dance!) and it was so funny and somehow appropriate that even our celebratory dance had a minor glitch.


Matt and Sandy can now do anything!


Naomi busts a move.


Sara holds the pride and joy.


Our TWISTED party. Apologies to Sandra, who our resident photographer accidentally cut off. Sandra, your hand makes a lovely, albeit brief, appearance on Sara's shoulder.
