Editing all day

editingI spent the day editing music. There are so many pieces to this thing. The recordings are long, but I have to make sure that I keep them as short as possible. Ideally, I want to cut down the main stories to between 25 and 30 minutes each and the shorter pieces down to 8 to 15 minutes. I don’t want it to feel like a music video, where the shots are stretched longer than they should be, just to fill time for the music. The narrative drives the pace of the story, which is why I recorded music based on the story boards that I set to rough audio while planning the film.This is it. I have to get each of these many steps done before I can go home and I can’t lose momentum or sacrifice on quality now.
