Congratulations! It’s great when people love your stuff.

I had never really thought of the difference between a rough and a fine edit like that before, but you are absolutely right. That’s exactly how it works.

Maybe the term “rough cut” is what makes it sound like it should only take a couple minutes. I mean, it’s just a “rough cut”. It’s not finalized or anything.

But this is where most of the creative choices are made, the structure is formed, and the style is decided. After this cut it’s just revisions and tweaks… unless you have to start over [smile].

Great post! And I hope the rest of your segments come together as well as this one.

~Luke

It all starts to feel worth it when you get a thumbs up. :) Congrats on the solid “rough” cut, shane. It all starts to feel worth it when you get a thumbs up. :)

Typically I get 5 days, 7 days at the most, to cut a 30 min piece, sometimes as little as 3 days ... thats end to end from never having seen the footage or a script to producing a polished master. Shane, it made me feel good just reading about how good it was!
