Day 353: Cracking a Tough Nut

There was one scene in the film the edit of which was just not flowing through. It was because of a multitude of reasons like having to cut the original scene into about half to improve the pace (which is easier said than done when you have shot according to the script and now have to change a lot of the lines), horrible lighting inconsistency, several shots wasted because of people looking at the camera (it was an outdoor shoot), lack of adequate number of shots to make sense of everything etc. etc. It was the only scene which was still far from final, while all the rest were already cracked.

And today, after a million re-edits, I finally feel good about it. The tough nut has finally been cracked. Phew.

647 more to go.
