Praise the Lord! The editing team was able to complete the rough edit on time. Saturday afternoon, Marilyn and Aaron flew into St. Louis. That evening, we all sat down for the first viewing of the rough edit. Although this edit is far from final, watching it was a big milestone for all of us. Now that the rough edit is done, we can begin making plans to finish the filming. Monday morning, Chad, Nick, Aaron, Marilyn, and Ethan went through the rough edit in detail and discussed which scenes might need to be re-done and what scenes need to be added. Ethan flew back to New York Monday evening, and since then “the council” (Chad, Nick, Aaron, and Marilyn) has been discussing plans and strategies for finishing then film.

Wednesday night, the Leddens arrived at “Southern Command,” our house in Saint Louis. Last night was spent catching up with old friends and watching footage.
On Thursday morning, Dusty, Morgan, and Eponine left, but Ethan stayed to help with the push to finish the rough edit. At present, Nick says it would take Chad and him two weeks to finish it. The catch is, it must be done by Saturday night since our group needs to make some important decisions based on the rough edit. Please pray that God will give the three editors the strength to meet this critical deadline, and that the hardware they are using will remain healthy and function correctly.

Over Thanksgiving week, the editing team kicked the rough edit into high gear. For the first week, Nick and Chad worked the “swing shift”—they began work at midnight and finished about six a.m. everyday. This allowed them to work without distraction. They were able to accomplish a lot, and by the end of Thanksgiving break, Act I was completed. The pace has slacked a bit now, but next week when school ends, things will pick up again. Currently we have over fifty percent of the rough edit completed.
