Ok we've got something that's starting to look like a movie here!
I've been working non-stop and last night I got to the point where I could put each individual scene onto a single timeline and watch it all straight through.
It's amazing how it's coming together. The goal now is to look at the film and balance the story out. It's time to cut everything down to the essence of the story.
An important aspect of Racing Heart is this: Although Racing Heart is a true-to-life documentary film, it is an inspirational story about a racing team and thus should be a little more exciting than most documentaries.
Because of this I'm putting musical montage passages and trying to avoid long expositions. In many cases the images tell the story visually.
I think it's important as the editor to understand that you the audience are intelligent enough to understand what's going on without completely and boringly explaining every little detail.
Film is a visual language and it's important to both SHOW and tell.
Also working on the new website! Wish me luck!
