Now, it gets fun. I'm putting my rough cut together from scene A to scene SSS in order. I'm a strong believer in intuition in storytelling, and I think going straight through the footage from beginning to end will help me get the flow of the story intuitively as I edit. I would have shot the movie in order to if I had the resources, for the same reason. Instead, I have to spend a lot of time between scenes on set reminding the actors what day it's supposed to be and what just happened in story time. Sometimes I'll forget, and I wrote the damn thing. Pretty embarrassing.
All I've edited so far are the opening credits, and I'm even excited about that. They aren't even flashy credits or anything, I just think it's a cool walk-in to the world of the movie.
Hell, why undersell it? Guys, you are going to LOVE these credits! In fact, I'll make a stand right now; opening credits of the YEAR! You will be BLOWN AWAY!
Next up; editing the first scene with people in it.
