Once the picture was locked the process of film-looking the feature began. It turns out very few people have tried to film-look an entire feature (it's used all the time for commercials or music videos).

I can see why after completing the film I got calls from people asking how I did it. Honestly, it was a combination of off-the-shelf film-look software, some custom filter writing, and a network render farm of over 20 computers rendering full time for over 10 days.

Don't tell the boss but used his laptop to render, too! :)

All tolled, it was 144,000 frames rendered at over 20 seconds per frame.

I mastered the project to DVCPRO and Shon at www.imcvideo.com in Toronto handled the conversion from 16:9 to letterboxed 4:3. The DVD Director's Commentary track was mastered at Avtel Media, Pickering Ontario, and the DVD authoring was done in Los Angeles by the Distributor.
