It’s been well over a month and a half since we wrapped production on the ghost possession musical EVERYONE (no one at the moment) is talking about! The Dead Inside cameras may have stopped rolling, but the movie continues to consume my life. Being the editor of the film, I am now offered the opportunity to write my story all over again, because that’s pretty much what happens. You write it in screenplay form and  you love it. You shoot it, it evolves and changes on set and love it. Then you put those visuals together, but now with so many options you are re-writing the movie for the third time. I love the editing process. Just me and my film…and some good beer. I truly enjoy the collaborative aspect of filmmaking, and production is always a hoot, but if you were to nail me to the floor (please don’t) and force me to be honest then I’d have to say I much prefer writing the script and editing the film. I simply prefer to work alone. I think that’s the wannabe tortured romantic in me. Of course I could never do it alone, but the moments I heart most are the quiet ones. Me and my story.

So for the last month and a half I have been piecing together the movie one scene at a time. My goal is to finish the rough cut in the next three days. Once I have that done I can look at the film as a whole instead of a collection of scenes. I still have no idea how long this is going to be. I’m nervous because I’m going to have to make some tough choices about what stays and what goes into the deleted scene DVD extra folder. This rough cut will also allow me to start thinking about sound design and score.

So things are going great and I just wanted to pop on here and update all those who take the time to read the blog and follow the progress of my projects. You are going to love this new one. I’ll blog more soon. There should be lots to talk about over the remainder of this year.

Much love

Travis
