Editing Update

I recently completed the edits and the color work on PARALLAX and was satisfied with a job well done. After letting the project sit for about a week, I went back over it with a critical eye.

Although I loved it, something was missing. It's a short, so I don't have the luxury of a backstory or complex character development. I did find a suitable way to describe the actress with the opening scenes, though. It's a very symbolic and graphic solution.

It turns out that I needed a little more depth to the characters. But how? I spent some time reviewing other directors' approaches, looking at old photographs, thinking, and then came up with some creative solutions of my own.

My chosen solution was to show what was going on in the actress' mind, which doubled as showing what the actor's real intentions were. That, I believe, was a very good idea.

These changes are a welcome addition to the short and will enhance the movie in a way that wasn't possible before. I can't wait to show it to you.

Blessings,
Scott Hampton
