\"Panthers600\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve ever experienced that awkward phase of your life, you\u2019ll understand the total meaning of the indie sports comedy, \u201cIntramural,\u201d that has earned a key spot at this year\u2019s Tribeca\/ESPN Film Festival in New York City.<\/p>\n

You know, the gnawing problem that has faced any male or female who has become comfortable with the balance of play and work in those five plus short years of college and that eerie unknown world beyond graduation, marriage, career and debt.<\/p>\n

That just about sums up the plot of the 98-minute crowd-funded film written by Bradley Jackson; directed by Andrew Disney; and produced by Russell W. Groves, Bradley Jackson, Andrew S. Lee and Red Sanders.<\/p>\n

Central character Caleb Fuller struggled with the age-old problem of continuing to rebel and was faced with the awesome responsibility of conformity. The demarcation point for Fuller was obvious \u2013 an intramural football game to top every game in his years at college.<\/p>\n

Ralph Smyth Entertainment\u2019s Jackson wrote the screenplay back in 2006 while a film student at the University of Texas.<\/p>\n

The script was a rollicking and over-the-top love letter to the sports comedies of his youth such as \u201cRemember the Titans,\u201d \u201cRocky\u201d and \u201cMighty Ducks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coming Alive<\/b><\/p>\n

Even though he was finally finished with a script he thought was a solid hit, it sat on the shelf until he had a chance meeting with Andrew Disney in 2011.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d seen Andrew\u2019s first feature film \u2018Searching for Sonny\u2019 and thought it was not only hilarious, but also showed an amazing sense of style. I knew he\u2019d be a great fit for the script,\u201d Bradley commented.<\/p>\n

\"While<\/a>
While Kody Gibson, editor of “Intramural”, handled the majority of the post production work on the film himself, he also had a lot of advice (and criticism) from everyone on the project. With the RAW content safely stored on the OWC drives on the DIT cart, the team was always present to check the dailies and work in progress.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Andrew said he was hooked on the project on his first read of the script. \u201cThe script made me laugh out loud and it felt like a movie I\u2019d actually want to see and quote with my friends. Directing it seemed like a no-brainer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fully committed to delivering an audience-winning film on their first effort, Bradley and Andrew didn\u2019t have much difficulty in signing up his production team including Jeffrey Waldron as cinematographer and Kody Gibson as editor.<\/p>\n

Pitching the idea of developing the world\u2019s best intramural sports film ever (it\u2019s also the only<\/i> one to their knowledge), Bradley and Andrew assembled their Austin-based film with a superstar cast including \u201cSaturday Night Live\u2019s\u201d Kate McKinnon, Jay Pharoah and Beck Bennett, \u201cThe Office\u2019s\u201d Jake Lacy, and \u201cTwilight\u2019s\u201d Nikki Reed.<\/p>\n

The Storage Queen<\/b><\/p>\n

The filmmakers knew that they wanted to shoot the movie in 5K. What they didn\u2019t realize was how much RAW (uncompressed) storage was required when shooting in 5K.<\/p>\n

The production \u2013 RAW, post work and final cut \u2013 consumed more than 20TB of OWC hard disk storage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Several<\/a>
Several OWC drives being used for the video editing process.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At the end of each day, the digital content was immediately delivered to Gibson and his staff who worked on it through the evening.\u00a0 As a result, when shooting was wrapped, Andrew said the movie was almost fully assembled, except for polishing \u2026 a whole lot of polishing!<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the money, time, sweat, blood, and tears are stored on those hard drives.\u201d Andrew commented. \u201cWe created triplicates of all the drives.\u00a0We kept two copies of each drive in Austin and sent the others to LA. That way, if an asteroid destroyed California, we’d still have our movie in Texas.\u00a0You have to think about every scenario where the drives could be lost or destroyed because all the equity now lives on them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gibson noted that he used a wide range of high-speed drives, mainly those with the new high-performance Thunderbolt<\/a> interface which was designed specifically to handle high-volume throughput from the Mac Pro \u2013 especially when working with 5K content.<\/p>\n

The production crew choose OWC<\/a> as their drive of choice. \u201cOWC drives are amazingly reliable.\u00a0We used twenty-seven drives on the shoot for \u201cIntramural\u201d and not one failed,\u201d Andrew noted.<\/p>\n

Premiere<\/b><\/p>\n

Bradley and Andrew were excited that \u201cIntramural\u201d had been chosen by ESPN during their special Tribeca\/ESPN Sports Film Festival sports day<\/a> on April 26.<\/p>\n

The two said they are also working on other screening dates around the country at the numerous indie film festivals. They are also looking into domestic and foreign distribution and discussing a theatrical release and a 10-15 city college tour to promote the film.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
