After a year of filming in Indiana, co-producers Kelsy and Alburn packed everything up and moved back to Los Angeles, California. It was bittersweet having to say goodbye to the good people of Southern Indiana and the orchestra students that had inspired the filmmakers along the way. Now back in LA, the post production phase of the project has begun. This process will take twice as long as production did; the road ahead is long yet exciting.
The first six months will be spent watching the nearly 200 hours o f footage. This will require transcoding the media to 10:1m so it doesn't require hooking up four hard drives to view everything. Concerts and events, where
Screen grab of Avid Media Composer & the transcoding proccess more than one camera was used, will be synced and grouped so all of the angle s can be seen at once in real time. Going day by day, clips will be watched, notes taken about their contents, and then organized for accessibility.

Going day by day, clips will be watched, notes taken about their contents, and then organized for accessibility. While moving through the footage, characters and stories will begin to develop. Hopefully, Kelsy and Alburn can watch it all in six months! Finally they'll choose the strongest stories and begin putting them together.
For now, Music Man is in the unglamorous grunt work portion of the schedule. Once segments start to get built, some of them will be highlighted on musicmanfilm.com to whet your appetites! Thanks to all who have supported the making of this documentary and stay tuned!
