Impulse

After working on this project for over two years, it’s time to call this thing done.  At the end of this month, I will declare this movie - in whatever state it’s in - done.  That means I’m shooting for picture lock this Sunday.  (Picture lock is when I’ve stopped editing the sequence of edits, and moved on to things like sound mastering, titles, and color balance).  I’ve made some major edits based on test screenings and watching the raw footage over again (incredibly valuable).  Benjamin Zander’s description of musical phrasing, and the structure of Samuel Barber’s Adaggio for Strings have also provided great inspiration.  Look for more news in the next few weeks.

Meanwhile, try what I did this weekend: unplug the internet.  I think I gained at least 3 hours per day doing that.  Hmmm… Probably need to do it right now…
