We reached post production last week. Vincent and I have been filtering through all of our on camera interviews with Stefano De Pieri, Sharon Olds, Tracy Far and Thomas Keneally. The process, is excruciatingly drawn out. We have found ourselves spending days leading into nights, boxed in an edit suite. The journey is proving well worth it when we can finally complete a segment and listen to it. All of the most important, key moments of delivery from these writers have been spliced into a visual narrative and it feels so good.
Thomas Keneally, one of my personal stand out favourites was an absolute pleasure to edit long nights through. There is a reason he won our "Never Ending Story Award". He tells so many lengthy personal stories. But, its not a bad thing. It is enjoyable to listen to. You cant help feel connected with his words. Not to mention his laugh, it's infectious. He laughs, I'd laugh. No matter how many times I replayed it. I felt so happy after that edit session.
I totally agree with what you say about Tom. He radiates happiness and brings it out ion others. Love this photo of the editing suite too.
