Capturing the video into the computer was the first step. That was easy. I began capturing while I was still shooting, at the end of each shooting day.
Next came the process of viewing and logging the clips. I would need to log and organize each clip, assigning clips to scenes, and building an editing project in Final Cut Pro. I separated all the scenes into "bins", labeling each "shot" and every "take". I ended up with 25 bins, one for each scene from the movie screenplay. There were 696 separate shots total. I captured the movie in HD video, which amounts to over 330 gigabytes of data.
I began this extensive process while I was still in production.
During the production, I began to assemble some of the scenes into 'rough cuts'. I picked 'takes' arbitrarily, putting scenes together according to the script, in order to show the story. This was a useful tool while shooting, because during some later shoots, I could show the actors and the crew what we had done while we were still working on the scenes.
Once the final day of production had ended, I began the post production process.....
