I am editing some more outtakes. But for the next three days I will be too busy on set and will finish monday and post more outtakes. I must also take this time to thank you all for your input on this short.

Now the movie's easier to interpret, I appreciate you clearing all that up.

Knowing the story, I'd say the final sequence is the mob boss offering a little gift basket of sorts to the orange thief, as a thank you for his assistance in taking down the boss' former employee. Slow the guy down with an orange, the other hitmen can catch up and take care of him. Something like that?

Liked the split screen effect, although later on it was hard to know where to look at times. It edited together well, with the action flowing seamlessly from one screen to another.

Clint,

I was real curious to see your entry, especially being aware of the AVCHD and challenged CPU you described in another thread. You are to be commended for doing what it took to finish editing under those conditions.

A very interesting story told in a very interesting manner, like others I did have to watch it several times. But doing that made me more aware of the quality of your camera work and the way you presented the visuals. Editing (pain tho it must have been) resulted in a pace that kept it moving real well.

I've been battling AVCHD editing on a quad core (Q6600) that is still too slow so I just "bit the bullet" and got a Core i7 based PC, once I've had a chance to re-edit enough of a formerly problematic project to evaluate it I'll share that info with you. So far initial short tests look good.

I enjoyed your entry and the way you presented it.
