Editing

Thank god for Clara DeLuca.

On Saturday, she spent the entire day looking through footage, uploading it all to Premiere Pro, and creating an entire line edit for (almost) the entire film, and it looks incredible.

Today, Virginia and I met up with her to look over the entire edit, and to assert our own opinions as to how the final draft should look.  We filled in some of the gaps that were missing from the edit, but we spent most of the day searching for music.  After quite a few hours, we found something that fits the vision we all had for the sequence, which was quite an accomplishment for us.  It's the perfect mix of funky jazz and drums, and it creates the perfect ambiance of curiosity and excitement.  I've attached the song below - listen from the starting point of 1:26.


For now, I think we're at a pretty good place with editing, but it's obvious that we need to grind and get shit done quickly.  Tomorrow in class, we're planning on spending time finishing the monkey/Ericka sequence, and working on final and title credits.  While Virginia and Clara dedicate 100% of their time to this, I've been working on an illustration for the postcard.  We took a screengrab from one of our shots, and I used this as inspiration to create a drawing of Diego that showcases him at his computer, and will include a monkey Easter egg in the reflection of his glasses.  It's still a work in progress for now, but I'll be done soon.

Project Components

After nine long weeks of Circus Monkey taking over my life, I'm beyond relieved to announce that all components of the project are final...
