A filmmaker’s journal.

Editing

Noah working his magic.

It’s been a while since my last post. My apologies, dear reader. Post-production is probably the least understood part of the filmmaking process. There are no bright lights and glamour, no beautiful actors, no thrill of shooting, and no sleep. It’s just a couple guys in a room, slaving away on computers.


Editing is what makes the movie. Until you cut it together, it’s just a bunch of pretty pictures, strung together out of order, unintelligible, and silent. The process of syncing sound, putting the shots in order, and endless tweaking is where the movie is made–It’s just not terribly interesting, hence the lack of posts.

We’re getting very, very close to the end, however. The picture edit is almost final, and then we’re taking it to Bad Animals for the final sound mix.

Then it’s off to film festivals all around the country (and overseas).

COMING SOON: a trailer.

    Glad to hear that it’s getting close. I can’t wait to see the finished product. Is this still going to be submitted to IMDB?
