Yes! The rough edit is almost complete! Two and a half more pages--then I'll be seriously in want of the completed narration... It's quite exciting to see how well this project has been going together under my fingers in the last month. In the waiting time, perhaps I'll put together a teaser trailer...or a real trailer...or.... Anyway, it's exciting. :) RachealI love maps. I really do. I tend to get distracted after diving for the closest atlas in an attempt to locate the exact town or county I'm talking about. Today it was Perryville, Kentucky that I was looking up. In the process of trying to pinpoint the town on the old map, I found myself squinting at the lettering tying to decipher some of the names. (Anyone else find antique map text to be rather hard to read?) As far as I can tell, Perryville isn't actually on that map, so I had to kind of roughly place the marker. I used other towns like Lexington, Bardstown, and Elizabethtown to calculate (very inaccurately, I'm sure) Perryville's location. I scrabbled together ten more AE compositions (several of them need a lot of work yet) and placed five more interview clips. I have approximately 6 and a half pages of script left to rough edit before I am really, really going to need the real narration. Speaking of narration, my narrator told me that he was going to work on over Thanksgiving break and he should have it done by Christmas. I hope that prediction comes true, because I'm right on the verge of being ready. RachealI worked on The Cow Cavlary today for the first time this week. I managed to scrape together roughly four and half AE compositions and place six more interview clips. Not much I know, but something. I did run into a very...well, disturbing question along about the bottom of page seven. I read the paragraph and stared at a map...then I went to the internet and did a little research...then I went back and stared at couple of different maps (and later I even talk to Grandpa who used to fish off those coasts)...and I came away with a big hole. I simply cannot find any evidence of the "Fort Jackson" I have in my script! I got fairly upset over the fact. I could not (and still can't) figure out how (or if) I managed to screw up that bad--unless I got the information from one of my books which is currently in a completely different state than I am! Anyway, that particular paragraph is on-hold for the moment. I hate being sparated from my research material!! Racheal |
