It's been a few weeks since we wrapped principal photography for "Love, Concord", and I'm just now settling back into things in So*Cal. I have 6-7 hour-long Mini-DV tapes filled with my footage shot from the set, including interviews with actors and crew to silly behind-the-scenes stuff that was amusing, to say the least.
Under the oh-so-helpful eye of Jimmy, I bought a Lacie Rugged external hard drive to house the huge video files that I'll be using for my project. I chose that HD because it's the same type Jimmy was using to wrangle footage from the set, so if it's good enough for him to rely on, it's good enough for me. I wanted a good, reliable hard drive to use since the one I bought two years ago to backup my iPod died on me in a few months.
Now that the shooting is over, I can finally turn my attention to my thesis project...Soon, I'll jump headfirst into watching and capturing all my video footage in order to make sense of it all.
It's still pretty surreal that I spent a nearly a month with the cast and crew of the movie, as it went by so fast...you always hear people say "man, that went by so fast!!" but I can really say that about my experience on and off the set for the three week period in June.
I have a lot of great interview footage with Gus and most of the principal actors, and it will be a lot of fun (and a lot of work) to compile it all together. But hey, I'm in grad school, I'm supposed to lock myself in the library and slave away at a computer screen all day...right?
I'll check in soon with more updates about my project and anything pertaining to post-production for the REAL movie, if necessary. It's my understanding that post-production will start up shortly.
Until next time, hope you stay tuned to this blog and the movie Facebook page... :)
