Experiments in Transcription

Things are cruising along, perhaps not at the pace or direction we would like, but they are non the less. Well, actually things are moving along in a direction that may prove to be fruitful. Over the break I began the full transcription of out interviews. Lets just say that it takes roughly 8 hours to get through one tape. Multiply that by 17...no dice. Tin thus invented our new method and direction for the moment. In going over our tape logs, he pulled out roughly 17 recurring themes within the footage. Now, as we watch our footage on Final Cut, we're pulling out clips that correspond to these themes and putting them on separate time-lines. Hopefully this will reveal something to us, but if anything it will give us a very clear idea of what we have. We have ideas for some new interviews that could be interesting, but we've decided to hold off until we know what have so that we'll be able to expand on it and perhaps make something awesome! And from seeing what I've seen of the other films, there is already some awesomeness going on!!

Till next time race fans!!
