Day 16,029 of the journey....
Today kinda feels like the picture…
I cut the perfect Avocado…it was the perfect yellow with green trim…the seed was the perfect shade of walnut brown and the texture of the “meat” was that perfect blend of smooth and firm. In my mouth a slice of well…heaven.
I also felt this way because I am producing a sizzle reel for a project and we completed a rough cut of it today. If you know what a rough cut is then you know its a”first draft” or even a “rough draft” of a video.
We use the word “cut” because “editing” is nicknamed “cutting”. When frames are assembled it is called a “cut”…albeit “rough” or “final”. In the world of production, a “rough cut” is not an ending as much a culmination of lots and I mean LOTS of collaboration and effort…both code words for WORK.
I’ve had to eat and drink computers, drives, video clips, “add on’s” and high res photos all week. The editor has worked diligently and fiercely in the face of adversity: “Car in the shop”, low monetary resources and perfectionists for producers. You’d thought that we were up for an Oscar or Nobel prize…neither just an opportunity to show the world we know what we are doing…
One day soon it will all make sense…in the meantime
write, produce and direct
