Davide The Super Editor

Believe it or not - we got our first assemble edit through from the editor today!  Not bad seeing as he didn't get the footage until Wednesday August 10, and he didn't get back to that there riot besieged Londington until the Thursday!

Overall James and I were pretty happy with what we've got. For the most part it seems to work and it definitely has a decent number of laughs.  The performances are great and some of the footage is really good.  As is to be expected - some of it isn't great but for the most part it is much better than we anticiapted and although we still have a lot of pick ups to get the number of reshoots isn't too daunting at all.

Davide has been sooper awesome so far and I have to say - it's great to work with him again - not least because it means I'm not doing the editing!  No seriously, David is great - and he is a proper FNA4Lifer none of this bogus lost in his own anus bollocks that so many in the fillum business suffer from.  As I've said elsewhere on this blog, we're not saving lives here - we're making mooovies - and in the case of The Stagg Do a very silly little movie!  There really is no need to go for a wander up yer own back passage - if you get my drift.  All James and i wanted from the shoot was for everyone to enjoy themselves and to learn a little more about filmmaking than they knew at the outset; that's why the problems of Day 5 were such a kick in the knackers to us. We've made something like 30 films and in many ways this productions has been beset by more problems than the rest put together!  Don't let that put you off the film though - I have a feeling this is going to wind up exactly how we wanted it to!

Onwards and upwards!
