4AM

Wow? I can not believe the time. It is now very close to 4am, I've been up since 10am yesterday and the time has really gone by. Why? I have been editing since after dinner, cutting pieces of our latest film together on my lovely new machine. Yes that is right I have purchased a wonderful Apple iMac. Big 24" display and running Final Cut Studio. I am loving every moment on it. But what have I done to make it to 4am, the fight scene. Some of the greatest scenes have been these, and I am building one up to be great. One that for amateur independent films can be proud of. The style is fast, the camera is shaky and the action is all over the screen. I can not wait until I have completed the edit and added some sound effects. That just makes everything worth while. The previous scene I finished editing earlier was the major stunt in the film, where my pal Robert fell down a hill and I had the skills to make it look like it hurt. Which wasn't that hard because in actual fact it did hurt, tumbling down a steep hill about twelve times has to hurt at least a bit. For what it's worth the film is shaping up to be rather well made. A bit shaky even for my liking but it adds to the atmosphere and mood of the film. Some will find it a little disorientating but others will bask in its glory and see it for what it is, our latest masterpiece. Our action film.
