May 5 update

Sarah Winsor makeup test

Last week was a bit random, but here's where we're at:

David Thomas and I finished mixing the rest of the internally-created music. I'm putting the finished tracks in place as I go, and suddenly everything looks 20% better. Good sound = good picture. This is solid math.

I also go up through the coda of the post-theater scene in the edit. I'd thought that coda was pretty much set in stone -- three nice shots, then out we go -- but true to the nature of this cut, it was now very clear that one of those shots had to go. In its place, I'm using two other clips, which were previously discarded from their original places in the film.

So maybe I'll end up using this newly discarded clip for something else as well.

I hope so. In an ideal world, the shot/Use ratio is ideally 1:1 -- that's good math.

In other news...  hey look, there's Sarah Winsor in today's photo. I think it's a makeup test photo from the set. Anyway, Sarah is starring in a stage play right now over at Hugo House called Lollyville, which I saw over the weekend and highly recommend! The show runs through May 24th.
