I had hoped to have "The
Barrier" done and posted this week, but I'm not quite ready yet. I
watched the version 0.4 video. I saw a lot of things I would like to change,
but I would have to remake the movie from scratch to fix them. I thought about
my goals for this version of the movie and there were several things I want to
use it for.
Firstly, I want to get some feedback from people about the
story and characters. I have some ideas about changes I would like to make, but
I feel I am still too close to the story to be objective. People may dislike
what I like and like what I dislike.
Secondly, I want to use this version as a way to develop an
audience for the final version. I've started to think of this version as an
animated treatment to show what I want to do with the idea. The final version
would likely be quite different.
Thirdly, If I go ahead with a final version of the movie, I
will need to look at crowd funding to pay for the production. I can use this
animated treatment to help raise the money.
Based on these thoughts, I decided that I would go ahead
with the movie as it is.
I prepared a short introduction to put at the start of the
movie. In it I ask people to help me make the movie better. This is of course
the main goal of this version. In addition I see it as a way to manage the
expectations of the viewers. I added in the introduction to create version 0.5
of the movie.
One last bit of work I want to do it add subtitles to the
movie. I had thought there was an easy way to do this in Premiere Pro. There
isn't. I can create an XML file that has all of the words with the times they
are said.
Unfortunately, it provides only individual words, not
sentences or phrases. I am sure that there is a way to convert the file, but I
just don't know how. A couple things I tried looked like they would take a long
time. Maybe I'll post without the subtitles and add them later.
