How to Make a Documentary on Cubicles

May 26, 2007 | ,

Editing is going a lot quicker than I imagined. I just finished a rough cut that I'm pretty happy with yesterday, and I got some great feedback from the editing teacher. I realized I never finished recounting the epic Spring Break Documentary Road Trip or went into...

Editing Thoughts – Day Two

May 25, 2007 |

Yesterday's editing went quite well. I've got a 6:50 Thought Cut, so at least there's something to show. But it's far from over. I'm not too happy with the way that cut went, but going through the footage led me to another core idea that I might try today. Here are...

Thoughts After the First Day of Editing

May 24, 2007 |

I left The Film School around 2:30 after some late night editing. I'm extremely happy that I can finally say audios to Avid and work with the far superior Final Cut Pro (FCP). However, I'm still a loyal Adobe Premiere fan, and after some footage capture hickups ((For...

So Much for the Day Off

May 22, 2007 |

Within about an hour of this morning's post, I get a phone call from the UPM of the other thesis film that's been shooting since last Thursday asking if I'd like to be an extra because a bunch of their extras didn't show. "Suuure" (I was also kind of hungry and wanted...

Film School History is Made

May 22, 2007 | ,

For thesis films we get three days of shooting. The original plan for the thesis I was working on was to shoot the final scene today, but it would have only been half a day since the actors had to leave by noon. Instead, we finished early last night so the decision...
