Unfinished Movie
Ass War: The Unfinished Movie will eventually be posting to asswar.com
The unfinished movie is a conceit borrowed from Daniel Johnston. The idea is that these are rough cuts, unpolished scenes, in story order. The unfinished movie is free for all over 18, and visible at AssWar.com after the days of shooting.
Why an unfinished movie?
The way the movie is being shot resembles an episodic television show than a feature length film. A TV show has a shoot date per week over the course of months. A film shoots daily over the course of month. Making the best of my life situation, shooting one day a week is more attractive. Hence, posting a rough edit of that day's shoot online becomes the episode.
Actors benefit because they have access to their days shoots within a few weeks of shooting. Normally actors only receive footage upon completion of the fine cut of picture, which can be months or years after their shoot day.
I as a director/editor benefit because it charts progress. There is seldom any instant gratification in filmmaking. It's an exercise of patience and stamina. Posting your movie online makes you feel like you've finished, and keeps the ball rolling.
As an editor, it removes the daunting pile of 25 plus hours to edit down to 90 minutes. A little each week goes a long way.
At the conclusion of shooting, the unfinished movie will be fully online. And then cutting together the scenes and filling in gaps commences. This results in the Finished Movie.
Actors and crew have the unfinished movie to add to their credits and reels.
I work will concentration on the Finished Movie. This involves a complete cut, color correction, sound design, titles, and visual effects shots.
There you go. That's the deal of an unfinished movie.
