First Assembly Edit Completed.

[_Rok_]

I'm back.

I've been laying low, planning my post production workflow, and basically getting my ducks in a row.

Last night, I finished the first assembly edit of my film. It's too long, clunky and lacks any refinement, yet I'm happy with where things stand. It's very encouraging to see everything come together like this.

I also received a whole bunch of behind-the-scenes photos. I was astonished to see how 'little' our production looks. Although we were just a quaint bare-bones production, it felt much bigger at the time. That's what you get when you shoot low-budget with a million-dollar crew.

I'll be sharing more in the coming weeks.

Yeah, sometimes films seem much more impressive in pre/pro

Good luck! I hope to hear more updates and see the final film.

It only matters how "big" the final cut sounds and looks.

Cool! Take your time triimin' it all down.

Will look forward to seeing/hearing of future developments.

Hi Bob.

I took great pains to avoid the equipment arms race and keep what's in front of the camera looking better than behind.

In my profession, I know that simply buying a computer doesn't make you a VFX artist. As a result, handling my own sound recording was never even on the radar. I did my homework, got a number of recommendations and then interviewed my picks.

Currently, I'm stalking a well known sound editor I know from way back.

Sweet! I look forward to seeing it!

I know a guy who's good at trimming things, keeping edits tight. I can put you in contact with him, if you want.

Congrats. Well done. Keep it up and keep us posted on your progress.

I was curious and decided to track down some more info about the film: http://specialprojectgroup.com/In_Production.html

Impressive filmography list as well. Since you shot in the bay area you should look into some SF film grants, they have some of the best grants for indie filmmakers and favor films/crew that are from there.

Thanks for the offer Joseph, but part of my journey involves my doing the edit myself. I'm pretty pleased that the 24 minute assembly trimmed down to a much easier 16 minutes. Next week, I'll be refining and then handing shots over to visual effects.

Visual effects! Cool, well now I wanna see it even more. And of course I completely understand your reasoning on wanting to cut it yourself. Cheers!
