Stills From Upcoming S'kali Trailers

It has been a while since the last post and this is mainly a reflection of the work that has been going on over the past few weeks. In KL, the team are preparing for the next phase of publicity, whilst in the UK, writer/director Arivind Abraham and editors Luke Yerbury and Ali Maggs are working hard on the trailers and movie.

The trailers will be making their way to KL within the coming weeks, and the guys decided to send over some stills from the film itself.












Luke Yerbury will soon be posting a section with tips and hints in regards to working in HDV, which hopefully will be useful to any of you who are either already working or planning to shoot something in HDV. In advance to that post, they have sent over 2 stills from thhe movie, just to show how much work is still needed, even when shooting in HDV.

It is very rare that what is shot onto tape, makes it onto the screen without some work being done on the image first. The edit team for S'kali are cutting the movie on Final Cut Pro 5 HD, and are also using a plug in called Magic Bullet. Ali and Luke first got experience working with this plug in when they worked on Arivind's graduation short 'The Mighty Tykes' which in fact won editor Ali Maggs the Hewlett Packard Award for editing.

This is the shot straight off the rushes:





And this is it after being worked on with Magic Bullet's "Look Suite" option:
