After five very long evenings staring at SToA, I think I’m finally at final edit.

I’ve tweaked and twiddled for hours and I can now watch it all the way through without cringing at any point. Must be a good sign.

I’m learning slowly how to trust my inner critic. He can be a pain in the arse sometimes when I don’t want him around (like when writing a first draft), but at this point he’s been a godsend.

It’s taken me a while to allow him back, especially having locked him up for past couple of weeks while I was working on the screenplay. But he’s had some fun in the past few days, so that means he should shut up when I turn back to the screenplay in the next day or so.

I’ve corrected the colour (that’s an art in itself, I hope I’ve done a decent job), got the sound as good as it can get it and now it’s all ready for the Miller Meister to take over and weave his audio magic across it.

Must sleep…

One Comment to “Inner Critic at Play”

  • I hate my inner critic. He has a louder voice than anybody else. And he hates me.

About Andy Coughlan

I write stuff down and try to make films out of it. Sometimes I succeed.

I also write novels, like The Elementalist and code things, like Scribomatic, Brolly or Not? and Geeky Gifts.

Current projects: A short film, The Man Who Wished which I\'m also developing into a TV series.
