Rough cuts....

I have had quite a few very late nights combined with early mornings lately. Along with Evan I have been editing my film to produce a rough cut that I can pass in to my examiners along with my journal. Working with Evan is definitely a bonus here. I am learning a lot about the whole creative process as a collaborative effort.

Today my friend Paul came over and we recorded the narrative script I had written for him.

I just finished mixing that into the video footage and now I am waiting for the film to be rendered so that I can burn some DVDs. I have reconnected in some ways to my computer - digital technology is making it possible for me to do creative works I might have only dreamed of in the past.

I also plan to use the rough cut to pitch my film to CBC. If they take it it would be the icing on the cake but either way I am very proud of the film I have produced. I have dedicated both my film and my journal to my parents. They were truly the inspiration for this work and I am so proud to be able to honour them in this way.
