Tough edit. It's not fun to do this shit. But we're progressing and now I'm at the game gear part. Definitely my favorite part of the film. I made this thing fun for myself by adding fanboy nonsense here and there.
The orchestral music really works well with scenes too. I'm trying to make the music work in terms of adding a tone to a scene rather than drive the action of the scene like I usually do. I typically edit to the music. Make all the camera movements and such sync to the score. But I'm finding that the music just setting the mood in the background works well too.
It's the emotional weight that it gives the footage that I like.
Music is a key thing in film making, too bad a lot of films neglect it. It's like yeah, visuals are nice, but how can you dance without a beat?
It's that philosophy that I've always known and yet been baffled by films that kinda don't yield it or ignore how well a score augments films, life.
Music is the sound of the soul.
Will be back to work. As far as my Instafart plans go. No go for launch. The car is damaged after all the shit I've put it through and I'm going to sell it off.
Use the money to buy a moped then go run deliveries full time down in manhattan. I like doing that. The thing is that I don't understand at all how people expect stuff to be delivered by car down there. It's impossible. If I make enough money and can afford a decent car, I mean we'll see. I don't want to abandon instafart at all... but they get orders where they kill you with like tons of crap you can't possibly drive around with a moped. I might be able to engineer baskets and carriage space or even a pull cart to put the groceries in, and that would help some, don't know.... but I can see running groceries on a moped if these idiots wouldn't goddamn purchase mountains of food for some poor bastard to deliver to the 200 floor of a sky scraper, but I was shocked to discover there's A LOT of people who've NEVER lifted a finger for themselves their whole life. They actually don't give one shit about how hard a guy has to work to get things to their door and think a 5 dollar tip makes them feel it was all worth it. Suck a dick.
Well I'm out, gonna work on the film, get my files organized for the next round of editing and finish the finale. In fact, I like this approach. Edit the end of it FIRST. Then work backwards so you're not angsty about having to do the ending the whole time. I must say it will be easier for me to edit knowing where it's all going to go.
