How's the movie coming along?

Let me just first say it was an honor and a pleasure working with the cast and crew of "Hitting The Nuts". Working on another film has been a dream ever since Road To Emmaus, PA.

If you'd like to keep track of the progression of the editing and post-production, you can follow me on Twitter or Facebook for brief, one line updates, which will say things like "I'm working on it" or you can check in here for a little more in-depth look at the editing process.

First of all, there were 133 scenes to the movie. Let's say an average of 4 takes per scene. That's 532 scenes that all have to be labeled so I know where to start. And I will get all of the final footage on Tuesday, September the 1st.

So after I have an idea of where everything is, I can start editing. Actually putting the scenes in in a time line. Since this is improv, my first approach is going to be to get ALL the good takes together with all of the unexpected surprises that happened along the way. This should make the movie waaaay tooo long. I would rather have it too long than too short. I can cut out footage. I can't reshoot stuff.

After that I imagine I'll get cut suggestions from Joe and we'll refine it from there. Once we get the story down and there are no more visual changes, what is called "picture lock" then we do any graphics, green screen work, sound effects, foley work, music, color correction and so forth. That gives you an idea of why it's a 2010 release date.

I'm really looking forward to it. So let's get started.
