I finally have confirmation from all my treasure hunters regarding our shooting sked in May. Thank goodness. I don’t have to send someone plummeting down a cliff in the story prematurely.
I’m therefore back in the batcave, a.k.a. editing room. I’ve been working on the scene of the ritual and I’m so fascinated with the visuals that I want to put a lot of it in the movie. Now I have it running at 9 minutes, and it’s just too long. I need to bring it further down to maybe 4 minutes, but the audio is giving me a huge challenge because it goes from instrumental, to prayer, to instrumental, to singing, to instrumental. If I cut it to 4 minutes, I might have to do away with the live audio completely and use scoring, and I think it’s a shame to do that. So I’ve been stuck on this one sequence since yesterday. If I don’t have a solution by the end of this day I’ll have to move on and get back to it later.
