Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

This was an incredible weekend for My Stretch of Texas Ground because late last night, Cinemafest World announced their awards, and we won two acting awards (Junes for Best Actor, and Jeff and Junes for Best Acting Duo; we won for Best Crime Drama; and then, for the first time, we won some technical awards, for Best Coloring and Best Lighting. 

The Coloring Award means an awful lot to me because some of our night scenes were shot "day-for-night", and we had to color them to make them look like night, and it is extremely difficult. We ended up hiring a Disney colorist, Michael Luceri, who was like a relief pitcher, put in to save the game. And he explained that we pushed the limits because you should only shoot "day-for-night" at dawn or dusk not in the middle of the afternoon in blazing Texas summer. So, it was a very big task to get those scenes looking decent. 

I am just going to put up the one laurel for Best Coloring along with a screenshot that was taken in blazing afternoon sun. Not bad, huh? 

This was shot around 2 PM in late July in Central Texas, with blazing sun and blue sky.
