Wednesday, December 10, 1997 - The Home Stretch

Things are happening quickly. We're a few days away from finishing the edit. So many things to do in specific order. One thing follows from another, so I need to write it down and makes sure I don't skip anything. Slowly it's evolving into a finished film, kind of like one of those photos that increase their resolution on the net. Showed a copy to Julie the other day. She seemed most excited about it.

So, I have:

The To Do List

• Send out tapes, applications to the next round of festivals
• Buy Betas stock for transfers, etc
• Line up music for the specified spots
• Locate/record all final wild track
• Run through film to identify wild track for Karen.
• Run through film one more time to make final editing decisions
• Meet about final sound mixing, requirements
• Make Beta window dubs of original Beta tapes.
• Determine what format I want to have print made. (Cost is a big factor here.)
• Make window-dub transfer for negative cutter, taking into accout reel size.
• Make transfer for final sound mix
• Make high-resolution master Beta and backup copy.
• Final sound mix
• Send off to negative cutter

Too broke and too busy to even think about going East for Christmas. I hope my mother will understand. I'm sure my mother will understand.
