Woo Hoo!
At 4:00am after completing the 'rough first edit' of my short film I decided that it was time to have a go at doing some REAL EDITING.
All I had done so far is just put the sequences and scenes together. Looking at it as a whole film it is shit.
Now...
After a lot of thought and consideration the work now comes. So at 4:00am I tried the style. And it worked.
From the day of filming I saw this new style of cutting in my head. As we were shooting the material it became clearer and clearer what I would have to do.
Give the subject matter and style of the project I know I have a lot of freedom to do whatever I fucking want - Audiences are used to different techniques and styles. A golden rule is NOT TO UNDERESTIMATE THE SOPHISTICATION OF YOUR AUDIENCE.
So.
I won't underestimate you. Your job will be to keep up with me.

Glad you're in a better mood now!
I like your "NOT TO UNDERESTIMATE THE SOPHISTICATION OF YOUR AUDIENCE" mantra - I hate films which just wash over me because the director has presumed everyone watching is a moron who needs every single frame explained in great detail. I like to be suprised and see new things every time I watch.
Hope it all turns out well.
awsome Doom!
I can't wait to see it.

Oh good! It sounds like things are better.
= )
Good for you. It really annoys me when my sophistication is underestimated. Let us figure it out. I respect that. I'm very excited for you! Spring is coming and births are everywhere, including you giving birth to your film.
ohh my goodness, all these comments from such beautiful people!
KAT - yeah - it is a hard line to get right - the sophistication of ones audiences - but one must strive hard not to do it. (was i in such a bad mood?)
BETH - remember - you can me sushi this time
SMARTY - things are better AND simultaneously worse...
DIABLO - I'd be curious as to what you think of it... perhaps you could help get me ann agent in LA!
STEFANIE - giving birth to my film... hmmm - interesting metaphor... I'd never thought of it like that - its taken months and it's the source of stress and pleasure... isn't birth painful?
Peace and love
Thanks for dropping by

Doomie... remember the curry :D
'Bad mood' is maybe a bit much. I just have a theory that when people start using the word 'cunt' in their posts, they are harbouring some pent up anger!
hmmm.
you are right.
i defer to your intelligence.
