Post-Update:

So after Tristan and I finished logging and uploading all the material I had the wonderful job of organizing the project film and labeling every shot. Because Tristan wasn’t familiar with the movie nearly as much as I was it became my job so that it would go faster. It took my 3 full 10 hour days to label all 700+ items on the 36 tapes. Sigh. But we started editing the picture together 3 days ago and have about 20 min assembled. I’ve got scenes 31-61 put together and Tristan doing speratic things in the 200’s. I’ve showed it to a couple of people and they were very impressed. It’s been hard to balance all this stuff because all I want to do is work on the movie and not do anything else for school. I’ve got write this paper for Miguel, produce the last few days of shooting, (which one is tomorrow by the way) and do a few other od jobs and such. Man. I just want to edit. I’ thought I had a final picture lock on the trailer on Friday. Crystal said she was very impressed and told me herself that it looked like a lock and all I needed was a scratch track. I didn’t want to do that but I put some crappy free online music to it for the final viewing for class. The class liked it a lot but had a lot of problems with it visually. Even dan had problems and it frustrated me because I thought I had it locked. But tom can’t start on the score till the break and I don’t plan on putting it out until February anyway. so whatever. I want to put a teaser out by the end of the week but am worried about the time to put it together. I’ll do my best. Truth be told I’d rather just work on the movie. I found out today that I got a job in the lab that I’ll be doing all my editing in! isn’t that great!? During slow times I’ll be able to work on the movie, and get paid! Of course I’d have to stop if someone needed help with something because that’s my job but still. It’s a really really good thing. I’m waiting to here from Kelly Byke if she’ll take on an independent study with me next semester as the marketing director for the film. She’ll be amazing if I can get her. Tristan has a petition at school for an overload so he can get 3 credit hours for post-production supervisor. I had another student call me about the position but I wasn’t sure he was aware of what I was asking for and I emailed him with the details. He hasn’t responded yet with whether or not he’s still interested. Kenny and I did a little photo shoot last night for the teaser poster. He’s already got drafts done and will be sending me a final by the end of the night of which I release on the site and on myspace and facebook tonight. So far it looks great.
