The mid point is fast approaching – I don’t know if this is a meaningful milestone – but I’m making it...
Everything is working really well – in fact, it will be interesting to go back and revisit the earliest scenes now that I’ve gained more experience with the material and the process.
I always knew I was going to play with the material but I never realised how much fun it would be.
Editing is more like a performance, or even sport – you cut and move and use material like a footballer uses the ball and the arena – you guide the eye at will – sometimes you hang on a performance longer - other times you shift focus on purpose – then you lay down sounds effects and play with their levels…enchanting.
Anyway – getting to the halfway mark of the assembly/edit.
A great place I tell you – after the shoot I was in a real funk – withdrawal symptoms from not being a set with all the creative decisions - was dreadful...
Editing replenished me - it’s a great feeling – it renewed the pleasure of working creatively…
