Doing the Murch

This crazy idea that I can make a go of this filmmaking life lurched further along the road to fulfilment this week when I ordered my splendid new Apple Mac based Editing System. I’m hootling with excitement, but at the same time, not allowing myself to get too carried away – it’s a lot of …

Finished!

Oh yes, just look at that beauty on the right hand side there, one bar at 100%! I just finished the first edit of Voice of Silence, and it clocks in at 45 minutes and 32 seconds. Now I just gotta get this baby onto DVD so I can show Chris tomorrow evening – as …
