nostatic at all...

Notes are always a bit scary. You've worked a ton on a cut, have it to where you think is a pretty reasonable spot (and in this case, have spent out the editor budget), so there are limits to what can be done. Well, unless you are a DIY-kinda guy. So the notes today were a little depressing. "It's selling something we don't have." Uggh. Of course he's right, and always a challenge with these "vision" pieces. How do you present what you have in a positive light while selling "what could be" (without intimating that you already have it). So it is somewhat back to the drawing board. Out comes my on-screens I think (no biggie there), but I have to rewrite the VO script and re-record. And recut some bits. My trial-by-fire with FinalCutPro continues. Gonna be a long month(s).
