Completion of Collaborative Editing for 'Creepy Bits' Using DaVinci Resolve Studio

In the world of independent horror, the second season of the web series "Creepy Bits" has made a significant impact. The production, which was completed with a small crew of 12 people and a tiny self-funded budget, has wrapped up with a Resolve project ready for editing, two full backups, and all projects stored in the cloud.

For the filming of season two, two Alexa LF cameras were utilised to shoot the series in ProRes 4444XQ and 4.5K open gate. This high-quality footage will undoubtedly contribute to the series' eerie and unsettling atmosphere.

The post-production team, consisting of approximately 15 people, worked off the same cloud library, saving time and money by eliminating the need for constant hard drive couriering. Each editor worked from HD proxies at home, logging into their Blackmagic Cloud account to edit their episode and relink their proxies.

Mollie Milchberg, the DMT for "Creepy Bits" season two, ensured all camera cards were copied correctly, created new Blackmagic Cloud projects, ingested, audio synced, relabeled all the footage, and created an assembly edit timeline from the script supervisor's logs.

DaVinci Resolve Studio was used for both post-production and color grading of "Creepy Bits". The combination of its world-class color grading, competent NLE, integrated media transcoding, and cloud-based workflow allowed for the completion of VFX-heavy post-production on 105 minutes of new content in under four months.

The original masters were kept by Gregory and the writer, while the editors worked off the cloud-stored projects. This cloud-based workflow enabled real-time monitoring of the post-production progress with zero confusion about which version to look at.

The production of "Creepy Bits" in 2021 was a success, with the first season playing at 17 international festivals and winning five awards. The series also received 24 award nominations and two distribution deals.

As for the future of "Creepy Bits", LaRue Entertainment has shown interest in making another season, with 15 times the budget and five times the run time. With the proven success of the cloud-based workflow, it seems that the future of "Creepy Bits" is as chilling as ever.
