I never thought I could spend all my time from sunrise to sunset, editing my life away. Well actually I did know that… just didn’t think it would happen so soon. I really wanted to give my doc to my professor before the actual due date. I wanted any opportunity to improve my grade if possible.
Luckily I had already completed bits and pieces of things that I was certain would be in the documentary. The whole process of getting everything together was what annoyed the most… but as far as putting everything together, that part was more doable. I found myself kind of surrounded by B-roll, too much for the doc. I guess since I was left to work with Troy alone I had to be sure that I had enough footage to work with… mission accomplished. The more I continued to edit the doc, the more I liked what I saw… but then again I might be a little biased. I built the story of Troy around the history of hip-hop, more so the evolution of the rapper’s image. I only gave a rough cut so I know there things that still need tweaking, this is only so I can get a good handle on where I stand with the doc.
