Another day, another shitty headcold determined to stop me from breathing. First thing this morning was to burn off the rushes DVD. That went fine, then we screened it in the DOS lab. It seems the scene/shot numbering is a bit wacky, so it wasn’t entirely in sequence. There’s a fair bit of footage out of focus, which is a bit unfortunate. There don’t seem to be any lighting issues however, which is excellent.

The bulk of my work today was in building the assembly. I’ve never been great at reading marked up scripts, and I’m even worse at reading chicken-scratch handwriting (my own included). I stuck to the notes as much as I could but often I had to rely on just building each scene as best I could to match the script and have it all make sense. In the end the assembly came out at around 11 minutes, giving us a good 5 minutes to trim off. I don’t anticipate running time to be any major concern.
