Post subject:  I am editing my first feature film!

Big day, working the next three months on it full time. Relatively low budget, but I'm getting quite a good bit of change. There was some hesitation on whether I was going to take a real job so I could keep having benefits, but ah well, this is an opportunity I've been waiting for for a long time.

I'm not sure the quality of film yet, but had a 55K budget, so here's hoping the crew knew what they were doing. I only read the script so far, which wasn't too bad. We will see.

You are just the editor? or you directed and financed it too?

Are you qualified as an editor?

I have nothing to do with the film other than the editing. I applied for the job, and got it.

I've been an Videographer/Editor for 6 years and a producer for two. I've edited two documentaries, one getting ready to air on PBS about Haiti, and co produced all video content for Team USA during the Paralympics. Before that I worked for CBS news in Maryland.

After this, next goal is to DP (Director of Photography) or direct a feature. I've only done shorter non fiction stuff like shorts, music videos, commercials, pilot spec scripts, etc.

Sounds like a busy man. Good luck with it.

Update us. How's it going?

2 weeks in, I've edited 23 scenes so far. Which is slightly over a quarter. Just a rough cut so far. I have to say coming from a videographer who edits all of his stuff, I am continually upset that the DPs were very unprofessional throughout. However, I'm working hard to make it work and so far, the director has been very happy which is all I care about at this point.

I feel WOKJ is taking away too much of your time.

Just think of all the Chinese houses without lights because of you.

It's small budget so I'm actually only working 3 days a week on it, I have an hour cap I can't go over. Mondays and Fridays I do other productions or I go on auditions, and the rest I use on writing or stand up. I've never been the kind of guy that sits around and does nothing, but I always find time for the forums.

Chinese houses without lights? Makes no sense because you don't know what type of work I do.

And I don't wish to, I prefer my picture of you personally going from house to house replacing light bulbs

Way to lame it with up with english talk. We have shanty, apartment, condo, house, mansion, and other ways to distinguish how people live.

How is the job by the way Algren? It's been a few months now. I hope all is going well.

Film is going well, this week I'm off working on another shoot while the director does some pick ups for editing.

That's good news.

Just finished the first cut of the film, took me 16 days, running at 93 minutes. Really wasn't as tough as I thought it would be. Director really likes it. Now it's going to get the first cut of the score, and I'm working on effects.
