World Premiere Date of The Artist Set! (continued)
Principal photography on The Artist, which began on September 27th 2008, is still underway and is set to be completed February 14th 2009. The Artist was filmed on-location in Charlottesville and Hampton Roads, Virginia, in full-1080p high definition digital using Sony motion picture cameras. All post-production work, including video and sound editing, rendering, and digital compositing, was done using Adobe Creative Suite CS3 designed for Microsoft Windows Vista, which is the same software package utilized in the post-production of such films as Superman Returns and The Matrix trilogy. The finished film will also feature a complete 6-channel Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound mix-down and a two-minute-long sequence of 3D-animated visual effects designed and rendered using Blender.
The film is produced by University of Virginia sophomore and first-time producer Ashley Kinney, co-produced by writer/actor Matthew Marcus and University of Virginia alumna Gabrielle Moskey, and photographed by University of Virginia students Ranjan Khan and Kai Chang. University of Virginia senior Jason Kobielus is the film's production designer and associate producer, University of Virginia junior Jalysa Conway serves as costume designer, and Canadian student Erik Kilanksi is the leading art director. Post-production was handled by Kevin G. Bender (picture editor, supervising sound editor, visual effects compositor), Jamie Coupar (sound designer), Zachary Pruckowski (sound mixer), and Kyle Ringgenberg (Visual Effects 3D Animator). Kyle Ringgenberg is also responsible for the film's completely-original musical score, orchestrated and sequenced using the Vienna Symphonic Library digital toolset, which has been frequently utilized in many major film productions, including Underworld and The Dark Knight.
