Music for the trailer

All the sounds and music are recorded especially for the trailer.

When the trailer is cut, they will work further on the music to make it fit better with the dialogue etc.

Logging

2008-05-20T15:56:00.002+03:00

We have to log all the clips in one go, as we didn't do it as a daily routine for some reason. It takes a lot of time. It's boring.

There's also a few scenes left to shoot, but we'll have to figure out when. Not much else happening for the moment.
