It's Okay... Honest

Yes, I'm still trying to find an editor. I've also found a neglected aspect of the job and have made contact with the appropriate people to rectify that awful oversight. The weather has not cooperated on days that I've been able to shoot outside sequences. I will be tied up on Fridays through the summer (not literally, figuratively). Got two more leads on editors, too... shoulda said that earlier.

Seriously, I'll get this done. I have no idea how... but I'll get it done.

Frazzled? Yes.

Update...

I've gotten a couple of leads for editors. I'll keep you posted on the progress with that.

I'm working on other aspects of the film in the meantime.

Keep your fingers crossed, kids.

Thank you!

Editor Needed

Hello, All -

Okay, I have been unable to contact my editor. I've followed up on a couple of leads thus far and have some feelers out, but I would appreciate any leads that anyone may have for an editor that has editing equipment readily available. I have a hard drive for storage of the footage.

If anyone has any suggestions, please click on my e-mail link at the top left corner of the main blog page and drop me a line. I'll be happy to follow up!

Thank you!

Be well & stay safe, everyone.

Issues... issues... issues

It's been a tough start to this year, guys. Between weather causing delays, problems trying to contact my editor and just life issues in general, things have been crazy.

However...

I am working on writing the voiceover script and trying to get footage reviewed so I can mark it for editing. I may need to find another editor - we'll see.

Thanks to everyone for your support and encouragement - you have no idea how much it means when there is so much frustration happening!

Be well & stay safe, everyone.

Oy, With the Snow Already!

Okay, irritated might begin to cover it. I'd really like to see the ground again! Quite obviously, the snow has hampered my ability to be able to finish outside filming. When it isn't snowing on the days where I have available time, it's been 10 degrees outside - which is fine for me, but not for my camera.

I'm going to try to get a hold of my editor and see if we can at least start dumping footage to the hard drive and get some editing done while the weather keeps being uncooperative. I have no idea how that will pan out.

So, Happy New Year, everyone. Please do stay tuned. I know, I keep saying that. Believe me, no one is more anxious about getting this done than I am.

Be well & stay safe, all.

Let's See Who's Paying Attention...

I'm thinking I may have to ride with the Eights again... there's a new crew member and a new truck.

Whaddaya say, Paul?

:-)

So... snow, snow, snow. Not exactly condusive to shooting outside. Who put in the order for all this junk in the first place?!? Ugh... the only part of living in RI that I despise!

Stay tuned, kids.

Have a happy, healthy & safe holiday season and new year!
