Finally Done

I finally got a trailer done and finished the final edit of the movie. It took much longer than I ever expected but that's what happens when you don't know how to edit, and don't trust yourself to not screw it up. So I hired my cinematographer to be my editor, since all other editors sucked and he's experienced and knows the whole movie.

Problem is he's in Los Angeles and I'm in Austin Texas. So every time I need him to do something there's a communication error. It takes a long time to rectify. Plus I don't get to learn how to edit because I'm not around him to watch it.

Some say just edit it yourself and consider it practice, but I'm not going to "practice" on a movie I take seriously. On top of that I can't just learn things like color correction and all the other little technical things on top of pacing.


For the record I'll try to start updating regularly. I just haven't had anything worth reporting. I've been getting the movie edited, writing on the new script, blah blah blah. And since I'm not exactly James L. Brooks I've had to work menial day jobs to stay afloat. I could write about that but then it becomes a different blog entirely. If you want to hear about that stuff, I'll do it. But I don't expect many people demanding it, as interesting as it might be. Ha.


By the way, I just finished the first draft of my new script. I'm sure everyone get's excited when they've finished a new script but this my fifth script and I know the difference. This is the best one yet. I'll tell you more soon.



Keep you updated.
