Picture Lock and Load
It's official, we locked picture on The Cassidy Kids last night. Now we're in the middle of a complicated process of outputing an accurate EDL (edit decision list) which requires that I stay in the edit room all night rendering sequences, importing sequences, rendering them again, watching them to make sure there are no scenes missing, and then repeat the whole process over and over again. On Tuesday I'll pack my bags full of master tapes and firewire drives and fly to LA where I'll spend another three days doing the online. Then I break for Christmas.
After Christmas a team of hotshot sound editing students will begin the process of editing sound for the film. They'll spend two months doing that and then our Sound Designer will do a final mix of the soundtrack. So although we won't be making any more changes to the picture, work on the soundtrack has only just begun and there's still more work to be done.
