Roughing Up Act 1
Putting together the first rough cut is a thoroghly depressing endeavor. It's been said that your film is never as good as your dailies and never as bad as your first rough cut. They say that because your first rough cut is always painful to watch. It's like the baby just came out and it's all gross and bloody and his head's all deformed and you gotta slap it around to make sure it's breathing. If your lucky your baby will grow into someone really smart and pretty and interesting, but for right now it's just an ugly baby with lots of potential.
In any case I've been trying to polish up Act 1 of TCK. Act 1 is roughly the first 35 scenes of the movie. While I do this Kyle is frantically cutting the remaining scenes so that we can watch the first rough cut (or assembly) Monday night. I'm not sure if we'll make that deadline but we're gonna try. Tomorrow I'll begin a rough polish of Act 2.
