Yesterday was our first day of editing, and let me tell you, it is tough! Luckily, Brandon is a really great editor and as he mentioned in his blog, he is a perfectionist, and that will go a long way with editing. The first thing we had to do was sit down and look over our outline that directs what sections go first and which videos to use in those sections. The funny thing is, when we put all of those videos in front of us, the outline didn’t always make a lot of sense. We also noticed how we can film something that we think will be genius in the documentary, but when we put it in the mix with everything else, it doesn’t always work.
We are at the most grueling process, definitely. As Brandon also alluded to, we have SO much footage and rummaging through all of it to find clips that work in the film is very difficult. Not only that, but on rare occasions, Brandon and I will disagree about music to use, or where to put a clip. However, we usually figure it out and it ends with an aggressive high five, along with a lot of happy shouting. Things are looking up!
