new titles

so here we are, at the start of a new year. and i can tell that i'm really close to finishing up the festival cut of the film. despite it being the holidays, i was able to get a few hours work done on the first couple of scenes of the film, and also redo the opening titles. i changes a few things and re-edited the titles to fit a newer version of the opening music of the film that bob just sent me. i used after effects for the opening, and tweeked a ton of little things to get them to be just right. in the end, i'm happy with the result, and i think it's a great way to begin the film.

it's tough to find time to yourself during the holidays, and after new years, i totally feel a bit exhausted, particularly with dealing with different people. so, i hopefully will be able to buckle down and finish the editing of the film. i think it's totally about getting into a rhythm at this point, and making it a priority, and trying to assemble all this footage into the finished product. so far, i was able to get the first couple of scenes done, and it's very cool to be working with the highest resolution material. now is all about perfecting everything so that it all comes together. and i love the way the film looks at this point.

i'm also looking forward to my trip out to l.a. in a couple of weeks. it'll be cool to hang out with bob, shoot some stuff, and also get a little r and r as well. but for now, i have to buckle down and finish as much of the film as i can before heading out there.

i have a feeling that this year will be a very exciting year for the film...
