*Blogger.com was down the 12th, so I am entering my post from that day today. I will have another post up later tonight regarding today's work*
Today was Earth Day, so I didn’t get as many hours in as I had hoped, so I edited during study hall as well to make up for lost time. By the end of the night, I had reached 5 hours and 47 minutes of editing time, which is less than I thought I would have for the day, but more than I had by the time play rehearsal came around. Today I worked on the organization and how I would go about showing what we did the 2nd day, and the performance. It is an interesting order I edited the days, but I think it works now. Then I edited the concert in Beijing. The song I used was not re-recorded when we returned to the U.S. like all of the other songs I will be using. Unfortunately, the tempo between the concert I used it from, and the key are slightly off, so I need to use what I have, and deal with it. There will not be any troubles of this sort with the other concerts because they were recorded in a more controlled environment, rather than a performance. I have 47 minutes of the film. I feel like I lost attention when watching it back, so I do have some editing to do to maintain viewer interest. But I will edit the rest of it first. I am still very much excited about this project. With every film I make, it is a slow start because I don’t have enough to work with just yet, or I don’t know where to start. I often will put random clips in to start, and I end up taking them out by the end, but it pushes me to start the process. Once I get going, there is not much that can truly take me away from editing. I am at that point with this movie. Any spare time I have I plug my hard drive in and I edit. The nice part about this is that I am instantly 110% focused on editing as soon as the program opens up. I feel like these next few days will be the most challenging, yet the most productive, until I finish my rough cut.
