Film in Three Month - Post-Production Stage

Onwards and upwards they say...

Spill over from the production post - http://www.indietalk.com/showthread.php?t=50091

So now on to editing, using Premier Pro as the NLE (because its what I have and used to). I'm editing away...

Currently finished the rough edit (select takes, and crop to desired times) for the first 36 minutes of the film (~half way). I have a few spots that need touch-up/close-up, cut-away, or ADR, but on the most part everything is as expected.

Once the rough cut is done I'm working on the following in this sequence:
- Rough Cut
- Fix Missing Scenes/Cut-aways and ADR/Voice-Overs
- Final Cut with Transitions etc
- Colour Grading
- Balance Sound
- Effects
- Merge Effects
- Credits and Final Watch Through for fixes.

At some point I will also make a Trailer, Poster, and BTS/Bloopers/DelectedScenes Reels for the DVD and Blu-Ray which will have also more extensive pre/post and production notes/video and likely secondary audio tracks and subtitles.

Goal is to be done by Halloween, currently ahead of the plan, but post can always be time consuming, and I start a Film Contest on Monday (and currently in another this month too).
