Monday heralded the arrival of our editor, Jake Roberts. 

Jake and I have been friends for many years, starting out on the filmmaking trail at pretty much the same time.  I met Jake while he was editing for David Mackenzie and we have all been friends since then.

A bit of trivia for those interested: Jake and I both served time as hopeless assistants to David, Jake on Asylum and me Hallam Foe.

Jake has spent the last couple of days sorting out teething problems with the Avid and syncing up the rushes (uncut footage).  Last night myself, Jake and Brian Coffey (Producer) watched the lot from start to finish and I'm pleased to say feel that we have everything necessary to make the film.  This sounds like it would be an obvious thing, but, in the heat of the moment and under the pressure of the schedule, light and stock it can become very easy to find yourself in a situation where you don't have enough coverage (alternative shots to cut together) to make the best of a scene. 

We have our tricky bits to deal with but all in all I am pleased with what we have and would like to pass on a message of sincere thanks to everyone on the cast and crew.  All have done a superb job and I hope we will go on to make a wonderful little film.

The other good thing about the editing process is that I should have a little more time to write the blog and fill you in with details from the shoot so hopefully the normally intermittent service will be a little more frequent for the next short while.

We are editing at Film City Glasgow for the offline stage.  The DI will be done at Pepper Post and the sound will be done with the mighty Savalas.
