Teas are good
We shot footage for Venn episode zero (a teaser/promo for the series proper) on Saturday and I started editing it together yesterday. It's very English, but right now I'm trying to get the "Tea and Sympathy" sequence down to a minute.

One week film challenge
Toshiba have offered to give me a laptop to review for a week or two. The details haven't been finalised yet, but I hope to get it later this month. They've said I can test it in any non-destructive way I can think of, so I'm going to see how good it is for making movies.
The challenge is to plan, shoot, edit and release a short film in a week, with as much work as possible done on the laptop. We'll start by batting around a few ideas now so I can put together a rough script or treatment for the start of the week. Work on the script over an evening, shoot stuff the next couple of days and then edit it all together.
I don't know when I'll be getting the laptop, and it may turn up at short notice, so I can't say when I'll be doing this. If you're interested, would like to be involved and/or can seed the project with ideas of what you'd like to shoot, please get in touch.

The art of the edit
I found this in the Spinneyhead archives- Making the cut, an article about the art of editing film. It makes a good companion to the last post.

Thelma Schoonmaker- master editor interviewed
Thelma Schoonmaker has worked on most of Martin Scorsese's films and is often cited as the person who gets his visions cut together just right. The Independent interviewed her about her life and career in film. Sadly there were no words of wisdom on just how the art of editing works.

Video compression basics
Progress on editing the footage for Memory is slow, I know. Soon, hopefully, I shall be facing the problem of compressing video files for upload. The BBC has a short introduction to compression technologies, both hardware and software, which can serve as a start.
