THE ALCHEMIST MAKES GOLD - POST PRODUCTION *STAGE 3*

The Alchemist Makes Gold has been transferred to two miniDV tapes. I watched both of them on the TV yesterday and imported one tape to my computer, in the midst of the second one today.

The shots look good and I think the movie is going to have an interesting feel, the only disconcerting thing is that everything looks so dark on the computer screen and I have the screen set to 'Generic RGB' which is the lightest setting for the computer screen. I'll probably be giving a call to PostWorks today and asking their media guys some questions, just to make sure everything is okay. I don't like how dark it is on here. Otherwise, this is a big step forward with the project.

THE ALCHEMIST MAKES GOLD - POST PRODUCTION in stages

I've raised enough money to have the Alchemist film developed, though not yet enough to have it transferred to HD. Today I'm taking the film over to PostWorks NYC where I'm dropping it off for development. I have the first 3 rolls developed, but there are 5 more that need developing-those are the ones I'm taking.

The first 3 rolls of film were from the woods of PA, where the Alchemist encounters the Woman.

The last 5 rolls are from a basement in Phila, PA, known as the Alchemist's Apartment, where the Alchemist boils chemicals and works toward forming Gold.

I need to raise about $1500 to have the film transferred to HD. I've started up a paypal donation option, that is how I've obtained some funding. The site is http://www.caitdavis.com/amg.html
