I Wish I Had Cutaways

I sent a Proof Of Concept video to my "producers" today. It's the first time I've ever

a) done this
b) been asked to do this

I'm used to having complete control over any project I've done, and in fact it's always been a requirement. I took this on as a "director", and I have to answer to other people, which is very weird. I don't like being told what to do, and I'm extremely nervous that they won't like it and I won't be able to change it in time.

I edited like a madman yesterday and got a ton of help from M, who even took over the Premiere reins and cut for a few hours.

This would have been so much easier if I'd taken the time to "write" and actually "directed" people, but that's not really my strength. It's sort of a documentary and I felt like letting people do what they wanted and figured I'd cut it together creatively later on, as always. I'm just paying for that decision now.

At least I wrote some of the interview questions out. Granted, then I emailed them to myself and read them off my BlackBerry.

Yes, I'm redacting.
