Chop chop

I can imagine that editing film (as opposed to video) is very satifying because you get to cut and slice. When you think about it, it is a very violent kind of thing. Cutting out bits. Slicing film. Chopping sound.
But in video we do nice little drops and slides, etc etc. I long for some violence, because I am having a hard time banging this film into shape.
I saw this interview with David Lynch where he talks about filming being the process of building a glass bridge across a ravine. At any moment it could shatter into a million pieces and you could plunge to a horrible death on the rocks below.
I know how he feels.
This was a film I had high hopes for and consequently it is a complicated edit. There are lot of sound effects to go in, music to add, dialogue to re-record (for the record, shooting in a cave is a bad idea) and of course colour correction and the like.

Can someone please buy me a faster computer? And a time machine?

Soon I'll set up a page with some stills and so forth on it. I know you all can't wait.
