I think I’ve decided that this is going to be the first shot of the film. I’m thinking in terms of Westerns. They usually start with a wide shot of the “frontier.” This is my post-modern urban frontier. I may use voice over from the Cowboys and others to describe Tokyo. Patrick is cutting it over the next few days.
I was freaking out again about the edit…not thinking that I was moving quickly enough…whatever. I invoked the muse praying for her to guide me. As I lay in bed the other night, this shot came into my imagination. I just decided to trust the muse. After cutting this opening sequence, Patrick will go back to cutting all of the bits together. We are on our way.
