A short film about family - filming in Seattle, winter 2011.

French Cancan - Jean Renoir - 1954

About 20 times better than Luhrman’s Moulin Rouge.

Another great short doc made in China, this one by our A.C./Gaffer and longtime collaborator Trevor Joyce.

Our DP Chris Messina recently went to China to make his latest film. Nice work, Chris.

Corrected Color

Been poring over Chris Messina’s adept color correction (of his own camerawork) the last couple weeks and thought I’d share a still.

A Moment of Youth on DVD

If you are a resolute hard-copy person, contemplate purchasing Nathan’s last short, Night Stand, now available on DVD as part of the compilation: A Moment of Youth

The rest of you can rent the compilation for seven days in a downloadable format.

Sidney left it all on the field.

Literally nothing to do with Dinner Table, but we’re in a bit of a holding pattern waiting for some song license issues to get sorted out, so I thought I’d indulge:

oldhollywood:

Marlene Dietrich - Blowing in the Wind

Dylan (b. 1941) writes, Bacharach (b. 1928) arranges and produces, Dietrich (b. 1901) interprets. America in the early ’60s.

Nathan’s most recent short, Night Stand, is part of a new compilation coming out this Spring. Check out the trailer.

Post-production update: 
We’re at the first real fine cut of the movie. While some tweaking of frames here and there will occur, the sequence of shots is effectively decided. 
What’s next?
-Taking our very rough sound mix and making it into something so beautiful you don’t even think about it.
-Color correcting each shot to make sure each image is seamlessly part of a unified whole. 
-Recording music to replace our temp music.
-And that’s it.
