Apples I'm Home



Well, since I last posted, I have spent a great deal of time trying to complete a nearly 20 minute sequence. I have a great deal of sound work left, and some rearrangements to do, but it's mostly done.

I don't have the energy I had when I first began "re-editing" or actually beginning. I'm hoping that in the next few days, I'll be able to begin again. But this week has been mostly bust.

Well, I probably won't make the deadline for the IFP Doc Labs at this point. I can't see how in 6 weeks this will be a completed or even rough cut. It's a bummer for sure, but oh well.

A brighter summer day



I got a new DV deck, a small Panasonic, which works great....for now.

I lost a good week because of the Canon incident, but I began working again two days ago. About 10-15 tapes down out of about 90.

I'm trying to make a September 10th deadline for IFC Doc Labs...we'll see if that pans out. I think a solid two months of work is left, at least. Some days editing is thrilling, productive, others depressing, lazy. If I can use about 6-8 hours of my day for this project, I'll be good to go.
