Update: The Climb Short Film

July 13th, 2010 | Posted by jasonmckinnon in 17 West | Editing | Filmmaking | The Climb

I haven’t written much about 17 West’s latest short film lately so I think it’s time for an update.

Editing has been ongoing since the film wrapped in early May. Progress has been slowed somewhat mainly due to various human being responsibilities and projects I wanted to wrap up.

I’ve also spent the last few weeks focusing more on writing a couple new scripts so our slate of upcoming films doesn’t dry up.

That was one lesson I learned after making Playing Through. We finished that film and didn’t have a clear idea of what we would do next. That’s not the case anymore.

The editing was also slightly delayed because I was completing several online courses to learn new software. The new skills I learned will directly affect the technical quality of the film. I can’t even explain how pumped I am to color correct The Climb.

Now that the courses have been completed and some of my screenwriting projects are wrapping up, I’m now freed up to continue cutting the footage on a regular basis.

I LOVE having new footage to work with.

I’m also going to be posting the first poster from the film by summer’s end. We have one finished already but i came up with a better idea right before I posted it.

I’m really looking forward to finishing more of the promotional artwork as well. Hopefully everyone likes it. I’m a fan thus far.

All in all, we are still pushing towards the finish line and as we get closer, I’ll have more updates.
