I’m pretty happy with the editing I’ve done so far on Treasure Hunt<\/a>, having reached page 56 (out of 84).\u00a0 I haven’t rendered what I’ve done so far, but the editing software says it’s running a bit past 49 minutes.\u00a0 One minute per page isn’t working out terribly well. If this ratio keeps going I’ll wind up with 73 minutes (exclusive of any begin\/end credits), but I don’t have any particular goal for length, just want something that flows easily.\u00a0 I feel even better about my self-imposed goal of having a rough-cut done by end of next weekend, though there are two scenes that, together, have over 60 takes, which will no doubt take a good bit of time to sort out.<\/p>\n

I’ve decided to put off reworking the singing scene until I’ve got the whole rough cut done.\u00a0 I’ve already decided to rejigger a few of the earlier scenes anyway, given my increased experience.\u00a0 I recut the library scene I did earlier, going from 2:53 down to 2:22, without sacrificing anything, just as John said I could.\u00a0 No doubt he’d cut it still further, but then again, he’d do a completely different movie from the get-go.<\/p>\n

I’m getting a lot more comfortable with the editing, but still don’t feel called to it at all.\u00a0 I do feel I’m learning about lost opportunities, though, and believe it’s just the thing to be sure I get more little shots on any future projects.\u00a0 But even if people judge I have some talent for editing, I don’t know that I’ll ever do it again.\u00a0 Besides, I feel having another set of eyes on the material, not to mention someone with more patience (and passion), will lead to a better product.<\/p>\n

I finally managed to make the behind-the-scenes page I promised earlier (better late than never, eh?), you can find it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
