Picture Lock

May 3rd, 2007 by Erin

We locked the picture yesterday afternoon. Including credits, the film runs at 12min 57sec.

Most people thought the film could be edited in two to three weeks, considering it’s a short subject. In the end it took us four and a half weeks to cut the picture.

Time is the biggest constraint when making a film. whether it’s more time needed during pre-production, during filming, or during post production. Because our time in the editing room was flexible, we were able to experiment with the film and try different versions of it.

We don’t have the same luxury when it comes to sound editing. We are going to be in and out within a week and a half. I’m not so concerned though because I’m going to be working with sound editor Louis Collin and mixer Luc Boudrias.

I can’t wait to get started on it. I sometimes think sound is more important than the picture. It can make or break your film. It’s too bad sound guys are never given the respect they deserve.
