Phew… Just fin­ished review­ing all the footage. This project proves that you should never loose faith in a project, no mat­ter how dis­cour­aged you may feel. There’s a lot more good stuff here than I had thought when I filmed it. I think the dis­tance that the span of a year gave helped a lot, as did my new log­ging method (tak­ing much more detailed notes, real-time).
I still don’t have a con­crete out­line of the story, but I do have a neb­u­lous idea knock­ing around my head. I can see sev­eral of the key scenes, how to assem­ble each scene, and how sev­eral relate to each other. I’m a stick­ler for struc­ture, though, so I still feel the need to have a sin­gle the­sis to hang it all off of.
In the mean­time, enjoy this lit­tle clip. While review­ing the footage, I took a few still frames from each seg­ment as a form of visual note tak­ing. On a lark, I chained all 341 of them together at 1 sec­ond a piece. Just sit back and let it wash over you. Leave a com­ment with your impres­sion — I’m entirely curi­ous about how those impres­sions cor­re­late with mine.
