Now that we are done shooting Elixir, it is time to edit. The original cut was 10:38 but we had to get it down to 7 minutes for Reel Loud. This was extremely difficult but after days of trying, we (mainly Allison) figured it out.
Since it was shot on 16mm, we can't really edit it on a computer. Sure we projected the footage onto a wall, recorded it, and then edited that on a computer. But now we have to go literally cut (splice) the film, tape the pieces together, and hole punch them. This process takes days but is one of the most rewarding and educating experiences a film student can have.
