Musings of an Idiot

Assembled

I finished the assemble edit on 'Five' and the duration stands at 85.5 minutes minus the opening credits, the opening scene and the end credits - which would bring the movie up to about 95-96 minutes in the rough stage. And once the movie is fine cut - I am approximating that the final duration would stand anywhere between the 85-90 minute mark - which is probably the right length for a feature. What happens now? Well - I think I will take a 2 day break from it and then move the project into the rough cut stage which is where I will try and find the rhythm and pace of the movie.

It's been more than a week since I last updated and I am feeling much better - not as introspective. I managed to watch a fair few movies ('The Squid & The Whale' - brilliantly performed and heart wrenching but by the same token ends really abruptly; 'Blood Diamond' - brilliant acting by Leonardo DiCaprio and Djimon Hounsou combined with powerful subject and beautiful cinematography makes it a really good watch ; 'Babel' - long and overdrawn movie - has some brilliant bits in it and some real tear jerker moments but still too long for it's own good; 'The Pusher' - brilliant danish movie made in 1996. Gritty and hard to watch at times; 'Clerks 2' - interesting and funny in bits but a good farewell to the original) and also caught up with friends after a long time - which is always good.

It is going to be a long 3 days from today until Sunday.

So till later,
Amit
