2 months - subHysteria Locked Image

First time I edit a feature. It was a two months process. Gustavo and I where cutting and cutting, and for the last three weeks, I couldn't take my eyes away from the screen. Even where I did, the story and characters would follow me where ever I went.

It was so nice to have a locked film. That moment, when Leonard told me "We are locked" my mind went straight to the first frame I saw of subHysteria, the first time I sat down to visualize the footage. It was a daunting task infront of me. 27 hours of footage, that Gustavo (my co-editor) and I had to some how turn into 90 minutes, and make it interesting, and we had no script.

My approach was a little like I would have edited a documentary. A little bit like sculpting out a of big piece of stone. Taking bits out, trying to make it look and feel like something with sense.

Well, I'd have to say we accomplished, and after long hours, not a lot of sleep, and several nightmares and Friday nights working, subHysteria has finally moved on to it's next stage: sound design and color correction.

Now, my next step is to finish writing my next three projects, and keep pushing to get the resources to get Secrets produced!
