Previously Viewed Rough Cut

Saw the first and very rough cut of "Previously Viewed" last night. First impression... As director, there are a number of things I should have done differently. I mean, overall, it was good. I had so many shots of certain things that were, out of necessity, shot on different nights, that there are some continuity errors and places that are hard to match up. Not a lot, mind you. But if we had been have to have a script supervisor, it would have been much improved.

But as it stands, I think it's good. Once everything is tweaked, audio is fixed and music is added, it will be really good.

"Previously Viewed" update

It's been a while and I apologize. The edit on "Previously Viewed" began a lot later than we had hoped do to a number of circumstances. However, I'm pleased to announce that Eric H., writer/producer/actor on the project, has begun the edit and nearly has a completed first cut (without music and audio correction, though). I will be heading down to Versailles Tuesday evening to take a look at what he's done. I'm hoping the notes and story boards that I left with Lori (his wife and the film's assistant director) provided enough information for him to piece together the film I had in mind. But I believe at the most it should only require a view tweaks on my part. I have not seen any of the footage, so I'm really anxious to see the first cut.

Oh, by the way, I'm hoping to have a little "Director's Diary" footage up for you this week. I know, I said that seemingly months ago, but I mean it this time.
