Yesterday I conducted the absolute last interview of the whole production process for this documentary.
..
..... Now what do I do?
Julia is doing a great job of editing, we are working remotely, so I sent her an external hard drive with all of my footage up to when i sent it, and have been shuttling two 32 gb thumb drives back and forth via USPS since then. We meet via skype every Friday at 9:00Pm, and talk about the progress for the week, which is when she uploads her current final cut pro project file to Google Drive, so I can load it on my computer since I have an identically organized external hard drive.
You know.. just in case you wanted to know how remote editing collaboration works.
Christine is still doing a good job with the music, and we are going to get that remastered for a few hundred dollars by someone she has worked with before. on top of a full time job, She just spent over 30 (maybe 50) hours in the studio with her band The Jean Jackets, recording their new double-album which consists of I believe 24 songs. Which I'm excited to hear.
Now my job is to begin applying to festivals and generating interest amongst potential distributors. Which means i need to learn what that means, what that entails, and figure out how to do it as a first-time filmmaker whose film is still in progress.
I'm sure I'm forgetting / don't know something about my current task set, but that's how I see it for now.
Oh and I'm going to be making an animation of a map of Binghamton being sketched. this will allow Julia and I to create graphics that place wherever footage is happening in geographical relation to where other scenes have occurred.. That should take forever.
That's all for now.
Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but all I had to say was "still filming"
