Laying Out the Structure and Themes

So my BIG CORK BOARD is being installed in my office early this week. Im stoked. I find this is a very nice way to organize the film into themes and begin to figure out the structure. So far I have five main themes (that I won't outline here just yet) and Im anxious to begin organizing footage and research within those areas.

So, progress on the editing front. Yes!

Walmart b-roll...fabulous

Yay Emily. One of my assistants, Emily, just did a little recon and brought back a fabulous tape of Walmart B-roll. Nice. Always love when we can outsmart the man.

Post - Production Begins

So, not to say that there will be no other interviews to collect, but post-production has now begun on the film. I have a feeling that the process of narrowing down the footage is going to reveal some holes and create some needs, but isn't that the fun of it all?

Also, the script continues to develop for the animation. Ive been avoiding the scripting of the marketing expert, but with some encouragement from my animation director and a local filmmaker who has turned me on to some excellent actors Im feeling excited (despite the new territory and fear that comes with the unknown).

So, all this said...I'll try to keep everyone updated on a regular basis with the ups and downs as editing progresses.
