been editing

Most of the last couple of months have been occupied with editing the documentary, which is a skill I learned/am learning from scratch (as is, let’s face it, everything to do with making this movie). Yesterday I showed the cut in progress to Paul, the “actual” editor. Turns out I have done Real Good, which is reassuring. It needs tightening and shortening, but I knew that. The main thing is the thing works. And I have a pretty good idea what I have to do, which is admittedly probably still heaps, before handing it off to Paul for the polishing work.

So yay. A couple of days of positive affirmation of creative work. As most of my creative projects tend to be long term me off on my own somewhere doing stuff type projects, with only my own judgment to go by, it is nice to come back from the wilderness and discover I haven’t gotten totally lost out there.

(However, other things in life have suddenly become more custard-like. So it goes.)
