The Final projects are due on Monday. I woke up early today to begin the long process of editing, logging and capturing, and setting up some type of coherent narration. The desk in our room is a mess of laptops, wires, cables, hard drives, tapes, etc… I am praying for a miracle for this poor documentary. It is coming along so slowly and I am not entirely sure what it will look like. I spoke to George today and he gave me some great ideas for it. Also, a coordinator for the “Music on Film Film on Music” came by and spoke to us about the festival and showed us some music videos and short films that were his favorites. It was real interesting and I wish I had had more time to talk with him about music films. (Music is a great passion of mine.) But after talking with George I just headed back to the dorms and began to edit what I think is a good idea. I still have to go back and interview some people giving their thoughts on Svetozor but George gave me the confidence to just go out there and finish this film! I began to look for my favorite footage and took away the sound. I wanted the images to be able to work on their own without music or anything. So I just played my own CDs and edited away. My “rough” cut is about 7-8 minutes long. I am so tired. I have to stay up late to finish this on time….
