By the time I sit down to gather my thoughts and begin contemplating and planning what to do, people have already done so much.
In about two weeks, there’s already about as many prior edits for me to review as there were for the prequel trilogy after a decade!
I’m not quite ready to get the NLE fired up just yet, though. It’ll be my first real project with FCPX, and I already feel the pain of adjusting.
Also, I may not use as many of the deleted scenes as I initially thought, since I think RJ was right to trim the movie in most cases. We’ll see; it is hard to say how I may end up structuring things for this edit until I get started in earnest.
