24/7 Editing on Star Wars The Padawan III

After having another small premier. The gang came up with a brand new three page list of things to edit on the film. This means that the 8% left that we mentioned in the last blog post was inaccurate. The new list has revealed that we have 12% of the film to edit. Now two weeks later since the premier, we've cut that in half with only 5.9% of the film left to edit with one month to go.

for The Padawan III

We have voices to record, lightsabers to edit and sound effects to add. Then the film should be done. Only problem is lightsabers take a long time to edit, making them frame by frame using a plane layer.
This means editing 1 second with 1 lightsaber is 30 frames which takes about 10 minutes. Having two lightsabers for a 2 minute duel takes days.

We have set a deadline to get everything done and that's the 18th April. This gives us time to get a real premier together to show friends and family. Also it allows us to get other videos ready such as Outtakes and Behind The Scenes.
