Updated Doc Film Exploits

Hello everyone! 👋As some/a lot of you know, I've encountered an obstacle via DaVinci Resolve quitting unexpectedly. After many failed solutions I've attempted, I've decided to edit my doc film on CapCut.

And honestly, I've made great progress. I've even incorporated the different perspectives/interviews of people when it comes to Where DVDs Have Gone.

I even edited 6 more minutes this week alone, having editing around +- 2 more mins of new aspects of the film last week Friday. I dunno how in our next session to go about integrating fixing the DaVinci issue and showing what I have newly edited.

as requested, in our next session, I'll share my screen detailing the full breadth of the issue so you can get a bigger picture. given a short is supposed to be btw 5-30 mins long, I get the sense that my fully finishing the doc film is imminent and upon us. and the prospect of posting the doc film on my socials and by extension putting myself out there with the intent of getting into the industry feels... scary? wonder if it's that thing of in order to achieve your dream, you'll have to do things that scare you.

Honestly, with every new step I take in my filmmaking journey, I find new things to be scared of, lol. I was first scared of filming something, I got through that hurdle. Feared reaching out to people to do the interview. Overcame that hurdle. Was daunted by the editing process (still am, tbh). Anyway, wanted to share that.

Also I say this as I just finished doing a lengthy assessment for a job application, lol. Fingers crossed that I'll reach the fruits of my labour.

Anyway, happy first few weeks of the year everyone. Toodles!

I hope I win the 1:1 mentoring session for a month cause I have lots of new questions I need to ask you regarding the intricacies of filmmaking and directing and whatnot. And also everyone, I just got into IT: Welcome to Derry. Oh brother, that show gives me so much jump scares that for the first time ever Pennywise spooks me (and this is coming from someone who read the books twice, watched the first film and didn't finish the second film because of how unscary and therefore boring it was). Those children were doing the good acting, I tell you!
