Editing!

 I began editing yesterday, and today I added the footage we got today. It was a pretty easy process however I did have a hard time trying to decipher the casino shots that show him winning because personally, I do not know blackjack. Because I am a pretty experienced editor and for time, I did most of the editing for our project, however, I consulted Marcello tons, and he was a huge help in my lack of decision-making. 

The one technique I had been really excited to use, I ended up scrapping. It was the flicker effect that I talked about in an earlier blog. I tried it, spent an hour adding it, and then took it out. I realized that if I put it over the whole sequence, it was a lot and just painful to watch, but if I used it at parts it just looked off. I was a little disappointed, but hey! I still learned a new thing so I am sure I can use it in something upcoming.

I don't really have much else to say about the editing process, it is pretty standard for me and my favorite most relaxing part of a production. I hope to have it finished soon.
