	We have ~~started! Our project has started in May-2012~~ and is currently ~~running~~. Last update on the project status (this section): ~~September~~ the ~~19th~~, ~~2012~~.		The movie was shot on the months of October/November, 2012. It was then edited and exhibited for ~150 people during a party on November the 30th, in which the band that created the soundtrack performed the music live. Since then,  we have been focused on finishing the soundtrack and the audio (done by January, 2013) and are currently finishing the color grading.Last update on the project status (this section): March the 1st, 2013.

			=== Return to community<br> ===

			As a project, we focused on three main returns for the community: recording audio with the camera, creating and documenting on the workflow for video editing (RAW format) in Linux and on creating automation scripts for this workflow. These steps are all covered in details in two major articles, [[G https://szaszak.wordpress.com/linux/elphel-as-a-digital-cinema-camera/\|A somewhat comprehensible guide to using Elphel as a Digital Cinema camera]] (in English) and [https://szaszak.wordpress.com/linux/digital_cinema_automation/ digital cinema workflow under linux – automation] (in English). We also wrote an [https://szaszak.wordpress.com/metalab-floresta-vermelha/ introductory article in Portuguese] explaining the project in this language.<br>

You can also check the technical stuff~~ at ~~[http://szaszak.wordpress.com/linux/ our other blog]~~.		<br> The automation scripts are all GPL-licensed and have been forwarded to Elphel's support list, but they will soon be published apropriately on a recently-created account at GitHub.

	'''Articles''' - For those interested in how to use Elphel cameras to shoot movies, an extensive article on the theme in English is nearly ready and can be viewed in [https://szaszak.wordpress.com/linux/elphel-as-a-digital-cinema-camera/ this link]. There is also a [http://arquivovivo.org.br~~/archives/artwork/floresta-vermelha-open-soft-e-hardware/floresta-vermelha Portuguese-written article], aimed to be more didatic and less technical.~~		<br>

	'''Workshops''' - To be able to shoot our movie in an open way, we are also running a couple of workshops, in which we introduce the Elphel camera and the whole editing workflow for it in Linux. You can see some pictures of the first one [https://secure.flickr.com/photos/ccesaopaulo/archives/date-posted/2012/07/12/?view=md here] and in a blog post [http://florestavermelha.org/2012/06/29/obrigado/ here]. These workshops included a mini short movie (2 1/2 min), to test how to use Elphel for recording in the field, in conditions similar to those we will have in our production.

You can also check the technical stuff at [http://szaszak.wordpress.com/linux/ our other blog].

	'''Videos''' - Currently, there are three videos we made in order to test and/or exemplify the use of Elphel cameras for movies - [http://florestavermelha.org/2012/08/17/gravacoes-de-teste-os-videos/ the first two (no audio)] exemplify the RAW workflow for video in linux and [http://florestavermelha.org/2012/08/27/minicurta-cada-sorriso-e-um-flash/ the latter (Portuguese-spoken)] is a minishort movie we shot for testing the setup on the field (Elphel's footage occuring after the girl enters the house until the end).

	'''Automation scripts''' - The automation scripts to improve video editing in linux, using Elphel's RAW files as material, are nearly ready and fully functional. The only things that are missing are (1) using the original footage dimensions to update Cinelerra's XML at the very last step - this is being made manually; (2) polishing the code and comments on the scripts; and (3) licensing the scripts for publishing. The last improvements are bound to occur on the editing phase of our project, scheduled to happen in November-2012.		=== Images from the production ===

			<br>

			[[Image:FlorestaVermelha General Planning.PNG]]

			<br>

			You should notice that there is a somewhat large period before the actual shooting takes place. This period is dedicated to research and documentation on the process, especially about everything that relates to the use of the camera for the shooting. <br>

			<br>

			== Return to community<br> ==

			<br>

			These researches should focus on the incertain terrains of:<br>

			<br>

			1. How to record sound with the camera or using external devices;<br>

	[[~~Image~~:~~FlorestaVermelha_General_Planning~~.~~PNG]~~]		2. Establish the editing workflow in linux and the image post-production workflow in linux. This project considers working only with free software. This step is the continuation of the research presented [http://apertus.org/en/node/60 here] and [http://opensource.com/life/11/4/closer-real-open-source-digital-cinema-we-think here];

			3. Automate via scripts the steps of:<br>

			*(a) files convertion prior to editing (piped scripting); <br>
			*(b) creation of a human-readable list of files for post-production from Cinelerra's editing XML file; and<br>
			*(c) replacement of final TIF files in theis original folders for final render.<br>

	You should notice that there is a somewhat large period before the actual shooting takes place. This period is dedicated to research and documentation on the process, especially about everything that relates to the use of the camera for the shooting. Such uses include:		<br>

	~~- how to set up the camera;<br>- how to set up and how to decide which lenses to use~~ (is there a need for a mini35 adaptor?);<br>- how to do the recording using the in-development programs (ElphelVision, DNG Converter) and therefore trying to give some feedback and interface on their developments;<br>- how to preview the recorded video (on VLC, MPLayer);<br>- how to record sound with the camera or using external devices;<br>~~- how to edit it and how to do the image post-production to it.~~		The last item (3) is exemplified by this workflow:<br>

	There is already a lot of documentation about these steps spread throughout the wiki, but gathering them, testing them and developing over them in a production environment and in a blog that reflects this environment may be of good use to anyone interested in the Apertus project or in the Elephel camera.The idea is to make this documentation easily accessible to anyone. What can be expected are timely updates on the blog created for the project and especial reports with the conclusions of these steps researches – you could see those as articles that would put all the drafts from the blog together.		[[Image:Image_workflow_research_guide_v2.png]]<br>

	~~Due to sponsorship issues, it is yet to be decided whether the blog for the project~~ will be ~~in English or in Portuguese~~, ~~but since~~ the ~~Apertus community communicates mainly in English,~~ the ~~especial reports are bound to be in that language~~. ~~Depending on their interest to~~ the ~~Portuguese-speaking public and on the time we may have, they may~~ also be ~~translated to Portuguese. Examples on how these articles would~~ be ~~can be found [http://apertus.org/en/node/60 here] and [http://opensource.com/life/11/4/closer-real-open-source-digital-cinema-we-think here]~~.~~]<br>~~		The results of these researches will be published as articles under a GNU Free Documentation License, following the formats of the previous articles.

			The scripts resulting from the 3rd item above will also be published under a GPL license and be freely available for the community.

	An example of the kind of technical steps we will have to solve can be seen below. It shows the automation scripts that will have to be made in order to help production during the editing and post-processing steps:<br>[[Image:Image_workflow_research_guide.png]]<br>

	~~<br>~~

	~~Once we have the technical part we will depend upon solved, we should hopefully arrive at the shooting point confident on the gear we are using~~ and ~~concentrate solely on language.~~		== Shooting and editing (free software) ==

	It must be pondered that how we are going to shoot depends on the results we may or may not have achieved on financing the movie. Basically, we should consider something between all-voluntary work and a complete professional environment, with everyone getting paid and with more time to dedicate to the movie. We have to be prepared to both scenarios.		It must be pondered that how we are going to shoot depends on the results we may or may not have achieved on financing the movie.

	To help drawing attention to the project and to help ~~financing at least some of the basic structure~~, we consider running some production workshops to talk about the movie and the production process to anyone who might be interested, but with especial attention to the linux community. Those workshops will be technical-based and, without being too optimistic, there is good chance of finding partners to them.

			You should notice that there is a somewhat large period before the actual shooting takes place. This period is dedicated to research and documentation on the process, especially about everything that relates to the use of the camera for the shooting. Such uses include:

	- how to set up the camera;<br>- how to set up and how to decide which lenses to use (is there a need for a mini35 adaptor?);<br>- how to do the recording using the in-development programs (ElphelVision, DNG Converter) and therefore trying to give some feedback and interface on their developments;<br>- how to preview the recorded video (on VLC, MPLayer);<br>- how to record sound with the camera or using external devices;<br>- how to edit it and how to do the image post-production to it.		- how to set up the camera;<br>- how to set up and how to decide which lenses to use (is there a need for a mini35 adaptor?);<br>- how to do the recording using the in-development programs (ElphelVision, DNG Converter) and therefore trying to give some feedback and interface on their developments;<br>- how to preview the recorded video (on VLC, MPLayer);<br>- how to record sound with the camera or using external devices;<br>- how to edit it and how to do the image post-production to it.

	There is already a lot of documentation about these steps spread throughout the wiki, but gathering them, testing them and developing over them in a production environment and in a blog that reflects this environment may be of good use to anyone interested in the Apertus project or in the Elephel camera.		There is already a lot of documentation about these steps spread throughout the wiki, but gathering them, testing them and developing over them in a production environment and in a blog that reflects this environment may be of good use to anyone interested in the Apertus project or in the Elephel camera.The idea is to make this documentation easily accessible to anyone. What can be expected are timely updates on the blog created for the project and especial reports with the conclusions of these steps researches – you could see those as articles that would put all the drafts from the blog together.

Due to sponsorship issues, it is yet to be decided whether the blog for the project will be in English or in Portuguese, but since the Apertus community communicates mainly in English, the especial reports are bound to be in that language. Depending on their interest to the Portuguese-speaking public and on the time we may have, they may also be translated to Portuguese. Examples on how these articles would be can be found [http://apertus.org/en/node/60 here] and [http://opensource.com/life/11/4/closer-real-open-source-digital-cinema-we-think here].]<br>

	It must be pondered that how we are going to shoot depends on the results we may or may not have achieved on financing the movie. Basically, we should consider something between all-voluntary work and a complete professional environment, with everyone getting paid and with more time to dedicate to the movie.
