All this sound like excellent progress but the film editing have been a source of much stress.
Each of the abandoned locations will have a short film made for it. These films will document the painter producing the artwork at the location.
There was much more originally planned for the films by incorporating more detailed historical narrative and content but due to a restricted budget and time constraint I decided to simplify everything.
Editing these shorts were relatively easy but exporting it would take extremely long due to the high resolution of the export and stabilization of shaky movements.
Imagine waiting a day to see a rough cut, only to find out that there was a minor mistake or cut that did not fit into the overall picture.
Yes, it can really be a nightmare including the occasional program crashes and glitches which sets one back a day in work. If all else fails a Plan B will be organized.
