Alright, so I thought I'd update on Loving the Enemy. It is finished, although we have been unable to get the coloring exactly how we want it to be. This may be fixed, but then again it may not.
The current and I think about the millionth problem we've had with Pinnacle (our video editor) is that it won't burn a DVD. We've got a snazzy menu created and the music we bought sounds pretty sweet but that means nothing if it's stuck on the computer.
We've tried to convert it from a Pinnacle file to a Windows Media file but the coloring ended up super bright and the sound was out for about half the movie. I just have a feeling that film festivals reject movies that have no sound, so until we can get a good version burned, we will not be submitting the film to any festivals.
In other news, Dominic and I have filmed our introductions for the 'Special Features' section of the commercial version of Loving the Enemy. It took me about 20 takes to say exactly what I wanted to say, but I got 'er done. It took Dominic about 4 takes. I guess acting's not my strong point (I never said it was, mind you!).
Today I started on a special production photo montage for the commercial DVD, accompanied by our original score... which isn't so original since we bought it online... but it sure does sound great!
So, we've bought Adobe Production Studio Premium Academic Edition which we hope to have by the end of the week. That should be the end of our major editing problems.
Please pray that this film will just burn soon. It's not always easy for us to deal with but God's time isn't always ours. It's a hard reality sometimes, nevertheless . And I know it'll get done just when He thinks it's best. I know that He's taught me a ton through this project, not only artistically but spiritually.
Anyways, I'd better get going. We appreciate your prayers.
God bless!

P.S. I don't know if anyone's noticed, but we're using Courier font-type on our posts. For those of you who aren't screenwriters, that probably means nothing. For those of us who are screenwriters, it doesn't mean much, except that that's the font you use when writing a screenplay. Just thought I'd add that.
Oh, and no, we usually don't write our screenplays with red letters. Dominic's making me do that for some reason. Normally in scripts you just use black lettering... but there's always room for change. Maybe I should make that change *feels rush of inspiration*... Forget it, I hate change. I'm just gonna leave it how it is. I like it that way. Even if someone else changes it I'll probably keep using the old way... that's just the way I am. Sue me. It's our blog. I'm not changing. Bye!
