Output/input (5)

Closer, closer, closer. Today I went through the Getting Around, Entraintment and Conclusion/Credits sections and whipped them into shape with tighter transitions, music and overlays. I rewrote and re-recorded all the voiceovers, too. Plus I took a couple of final b-roll bits. It looks like I’m all poised to get this done in the next two days.
So the project will have taken just about a year from start to finish. And most of that was me sitting around twiddling my thumbs waiting to “find the time” to do the edits. (More like getting over the fear of doing it and maybe failing.)
Is it perfect? No. There are lots of things that I would fix if I could. But I can’t, not without better equipment, sheer editing brilliance and an actress who delivers her lines more evenly. So I am going to be happy with what I have. If the production value isn’t 110%, well at least it’s done and I think it will be useful to people coming to Tokyo which was the whole point in the first place.
