it turns out editing is not a hugely bloggable process. monotonous and neverending. i've come to think of it as railroad building. tie by tie until the playhead can make it from beginning to end. or else like chiseling a sculpture - when is it finished? - out of a block of stone.
as of 530 friday night, i have an assembly edit. 105 minutes or so. which is probably about right, i think, for an 85 minute (or so) final cut. a small miracle since it's been a lot of one-handed editing (the other hand holding my daughter). i continue to swing back and forth between emotional extremes a couple times a day - from pondering appropriate red carpet attire to crying softly into my pillow.
another two weeks of fussing over details and i'll be content to call it a rough cut.
