ROUGH CUT #3. First complete version

Hello everyone.

Time for a quick update. The beginning of August marked six months of full time editing for me on Splice Here: A Projected Odyssey and I’ve reached an important milestone. The first complete, sequential version of the film. This is a major turning point in the edit where I can step back and see proof of structural concept and ‘feel’ where peaks and troughs are as well as where confusing spans need clarifying.

I’m really happy so far and can see that conceptually, the unconventional structure I envisaged years ago will work - which is a huge relief. But at three hours and forty five minutes, now begins the ’baby killing’ phase of the edit followed by endless finessing.

With stage four lockdowns here in Melbourne there is nothing to do but stay home and cut.

Stay home. Stay safe.
