A fairly new-comer to the Vegas world, Stan Harrington, just won Best Actress and Best Screenplay in the Action On Film/Long Beach film festival. Some of his competition were people like Eric Roberts and Natalie Portman. Shot on DV, edited in Vegas, his "Bred in the Bone" film seems to be taking off like a skyrocket.
Great to see someone who had never edited a frame of video 2 years ago do so well, using Sony Vegas as his editing platform.
Amazing what 5K in production costs, a 600.00 editing application, and invaluable and immeasurable passion can achieve.
Congrats, Stan!

Thank you for the kind words, Spot...Thanks to all on the forum as well...In short my editor dumped his computer at my place and disappeared, it had Vegas 4...taught myself from what I saw him do to the first scene and when I got stuck I stumbled on to the forum and you guys fixed all my probs...Thanks Spot for the special treatment when I was particularily jammed and for a great product in ULT S. I upgraded to Vegs 6 and used ULTS movie looks to enhance the feel...

This is a fantastic product and a great forum ..keep it up guys...

I thanked you all and SONY too at my screening on Sunday.

major cudos !
No doubt Vegas is a great tool,but it takes talent to make it sing. Sounds like you two are a winning combo.
Where can we see the film, is it being released in theaters or small venues around the country or what?

It does not have distribution yet...that was one of the reasons for entering it into festivals...hopefully something will come of it. It is getting some press now too... it is also listed on IMDB...the festival was ACTION ON FILM, FILM FESTIVAL. http://www.aoffest.com/Results/results.html

There is an early version of the trailer (prior to ULT S film look) on my website you are welcome to check out... www.xristosproductions.com. hit the BRED TRAILER LINK.

Thanks for the interest,
Stan Harrington.

Thanks for sharing Spot and congrat's to you Stan. Some day I'd love to do a film and it's nice to know there are those out there like yourself that are using Vegas instead of FCP or Avid.
