So why have we been quite for so long? The answer is easy to guess… we were editing LoveTrips. Yes because after the great experience of traveling to more than 15 different countries in Europe and gathering so many experiences, there we were, with 35 hours of footage locked in the caskets of the hard disks. As Michelangelo had to say about sculpturing - that the shapes reside already in the stone, the work is in disentangling it from the rest-, we valiantly approached the quest by removing what we thought wasn't part of the picture.
The process proceeded through different phases: first logging the material in. That is, we first went through it several times, to "absorb it". We took notes on paper and on markers on the timeline.
The logging part was definitely the longest part of it. After that we proceeded in defining the common patterns among the material. Threads that could have allowed us to saw together a story. Because that was our paramount objective, tell a story, by not to get lost in the meanders of meaning.
A work copy is now being shown to panel audiences and hopefully we'll get to a picture lock soon.
