Editing away....

Photo: Still shot from movie. Filo Valadez (Pepe de Anda). As you can see the colors have been attenuated to a more grainy and bleach processed look. That's a really cool feature about digital. You have the liberty to change anything you want.

I
have been stuck in the editing room for 2 days and everything is looking REALLY good...
We still have to shoot 1 scene, 1 reshoot and some minute pickup shots... but we'll do that nearing the weekend...
I have to take "key" scenes so we can lay music on them in Monterrey next week.

Overall, the edited scenes are exceeding our expectations... however it looks like a hell of a sound job after this... there are so many gunshots, grunts, glass breaking, etc. that we have to put in... in time...

As a side note, Roger is selling his complete Zelda Collection along with his Zelda Gamecube...
"Buy it now", and get it autographed by his dog Zelda :-D

don't be a henchman!
stand on your laurels
do what no one else does
praise the good of other men for good man's sake
and when everyone else in the world follows your lead
(although a cold day in hell it will surely be)
that's when the entire world shall live in harmony

I have on question for you . You said you are recording on 4 gig cards, how much data is it in total so far, and how are you going to store this stuff. It is a shit load of data isn't it? that is my only concern with HD footage, it is so much I couldn't store an a couple of hours of footage. How are you doing this?

Thanks,
Jorge

We have recorded 15 hours approx. and plan to have 16 when we finish.
I have a PC with 3 SATA hard drives. 1 for windows and programs and the other 2 are strictly for video.
Each drive is 300GB (@ $150ea. approx.)...
ALSO as a backup I have 2 separate external USB harddrives that are mirror images of the 2 hard drives (@ 300GB ea.) in the PC.

At first I had a third alternative for backup: I had downloaded each P2 card (4gb) and burn each to a DVD-R, but we were shooting too damn fast, that when I finally had time to burn to disc, I had accumulated too many gigabytes that it was very time-consuming too accomplish that...
Oh well... so much for that...
