on the first day of editing my true love came to me,

12 hours of editing, and a PARTRI- 

anyway,



It's mostly all in one layer at the moment. This is the line edit for all but the last scene(which is probably going to be the most annoying to edit). It only took a few hours, and most of that time was dedicated towards selecting the takes that I liked best. I would have finished tonight, but it's kind of late, so let's just take a look at what I have so far. First of all, I'm not excited for tomorrow night, because editing audio is going to be a NIGHTMARE. I have to balance out pretty much everything, which is expected, but I also just have to edit out tiny little tings that someone made it in, such as me saying three or just loud things in the background. I also have to color grade all of my footage, but that won't be nearly as bad. 

After I watched play, I'm going to have to go back and adjust the clips a lot. The pacing is pretty fast paced, but it's almost too much in a few sections, so I'm going to need to make some scenes just a little bit slower, or else it will just be a sensory overload. Right now, it kind of reminds me of the first few minutes of Flight Club. You know how it starts with Tyler pointing a gun at the Narrator's mouth, to us talking about a controlled demolition in a few minutes, to plastic explosives, to Marla Singer, to Bob's bitch tits, to insomnia? That's the first two minutes of the film. The difference is the movie actually starts to slow down after that, mine seems like it keeps that pace for all eight minutes. It's definitely something I can spend the next few days working on, but it's not going to be easy. 

That being said, I don't have any super obvious continuity errors so far, the transitions aren't too awkward, and I think it's turning out at least a little bit funny, so I'm starting to actually look forward to see the finished product for this thing.
