I finally got all the files I needed in Septempber (film and audio) and now the lengthy process of looking through over 5 hours of material with the mind of making a 5 minute excerpt begins. I will probably make an full performance film as well, but the priority is an extract that can be used to demonstrate the work quickly and clearly, not recreate the work itself. As I have a bit of time off over December this shall be one of my main tasks!
Luckily, the sound will be quite easy to cut together as there is a certain amount of staticness to it with gradual changes over time. These will quite easily crossfade together. Currently I’m thinking only a few moments of video and audio need be sinked, but this may change when I begin. Not sinking video and audio will probably help in condensing the work in an appropriate fashion and would make the process a lot looser and less time consuming – which is a factor to consider. Having all of the material, I can always go back to it and keep tweaking if needed. I aim to have a finished film up by the end of Jan!
