If you’ve been wondering on the status of “Fan Film” both the movie and the series, I can sum it up in 4 words “Hurry up and wait”. All the footage is shot, the scenes edited and re-edited, and now I’m on to the movie version edit before I go back the series.

So, the “hurry up and wait” part. Up until now, I’ve been exporting the files with factory preset with no regard to compression, quality, etc. Now that the files final destination are to a DVD for people to actually view, I’m taking a little more time to pick and choose the settings. Furthermore, the file sizes are huge in comparison to the website files, thus – waiting and waiting and waiting for the computer to render the files. So, it’s edit a bit, then wait for render. Edit a bit, then wait for render. Edit a bit, wait for render, lose track of time playing Guitar Hero, back to editing.

That’s the short version. I could go on, but the render wait is nearly over on this file.
