The Glamour of Making Movies!

Exciting! Let's see - get up at 5:30 am, edit a couple hours, go have coffee - pretending to be normal and catch up on the news, then back to editing until noon. Super quick workout, back to editing - picture, sound, color correction, rendering, backing up, logging, checking the script, archiving, adjusting, planning pick ups and reshoots. Make calls and start lining up the rest of the shoot days. Going over the schedule, adjusting, making calls, adjusting. Editing until 7 or 8 pm. Quick dinner. Editing until 11 or 12, quick shower and start again the next day. The good news - there are only seven days a week. The bad news - there are only seven days a week...

6 - 8 months of this and we should have a movie! Then comes the long 3 or 4 day vacation and if things go right - I'll get to start again.

Pretty glamorous! But someday - if it all really goes forward the way I'm hoping and working toward - I'll live in a bigger house, drive a nicer car, sleep in a bigger bed - and get up at 5:30 am, edit for a couple hours. go have coffee - catch up on the news...
