Quick-ish update:
My July goal is to get the workprint of that first 2hr film done & available for review. I’d say it’s ~80% there now; the big tasks left are another subtitle editing pass and audio transition fixing. So I think July is a reasonable goal.
Update to the update:
Getting a workprint of that first Sequel Era film done by the end of the month isn’t gonna happen. BUT I feel pretty confident I can get one for the first chapter of that material (basically the first 30min or so) by then. It’s taking me longer because that section has probably the most editing together of disparate elements per minute than the whole rest of the project. There’s also a bunch of style VFX choices I’m spending time trying here that, once solved, won’t take nearly as long moving forward.
