First snag

I recently bought a Canon ZR40 to use as a deck for this film, a huge mistake. A tape, not so crucial thankfully, was eaten this evening. I'm officially done with Canon.

Here's hoping the next DV cam won't be such a piece of shit.

The rules of the game

Well, things are going finally. After months of delays, a near year of laziness, I'm finally beginning the long, tedious editing process. Though it's been exciting so far, teaching myself how to see this material again, and remain calm throughout the whole process. The new MacBook Pro ain't a small feat either, having the process breeze along, with Final Cut Pro Studio finally working.

So, things are looking OK for now. I'm working on sequences and scenes instead of one tape at a time, given the above photo showing the hours and hours of work I still have to edit. It's working so far.
