UPDATE
FILM II Preview Clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=201&v=vO8hI4l4w8E
A Storm of Swords seems to land a 3 hours and 20 minutes as of right now, nearly 40 minutes longer than A Tale of Kings and Honor. I have the narrative finished now, and the scoring process is the only thing left (80% finished).
Having worked simultaneously on A Tale of Kings and Honor and A Storm of Swords for a year, I must say i’ve dreaded the cutting process when it comes to this particular edit. Before I finished my cut now half an hour ago, I was at 3 hours and 30 minutes. Before that, almost four hours. Then I’ve added back in stuff and removed something new, etcetc. But now i am satisfied.
This last couple of weeks have really shaped the edit into its own beast, and I think - and hope - that it will be satisfactory to whomever is anticipating this next entry.
Winter is Coming!
