Syncing is not easy...

Syncing sound to the image is a bitch, especially when doing it manually.

If only Final Cut Pro X can fix up, I would be using their syncing tool all day (every day).  I'm trying to sync with Plural Eyes, but it wouldn't sync every clip.  Plural Eyes is quite powerful, I have used it in other projects, however it's not working on this one.  I think what it is, is that the waveforms doesn't seem to match up.  I think this is because we had four mics wired up and made syncing complex.

So now, I have continue synching tomorrow.

Editing... Day 1

I don't like editing, it's long, takes a lot of time, but it has to be done.

Some of footage is actually good, however we may have reshoot some scenes.

I've taken to account, that you can't make daytime into nighttime or make it look daytime into the golden, it's just not possible.  Not unless you are wizard in post-production, which I am not.  I'm more of the hands on kinda guy and not the person that sits on a desk, looking at a computer screen and getting headaches.

You can learn a lot in the editing room.  For me, I've learnt that we have enough shots, but continuity can be a factor.  We have to reshoot some shots and a scene, so bare with us.  Filmmaking is hard overall, however if you love it like I do, there's no point stopping.
