We decided it would be best to all collectively and creatively engage in the editing process in order to achieve
the vision we all wanted. While Baily did most of the actual editing, we all supported him in any way we could, meanwhile supporting each other. Baily showed us the various edits he had done, all of which were extremely impressive. He was able to teach me a few things about editing and the process as I had never edited a serious documentary before. While Baily edited the main footage, Amy edited together the B-roll in order to export and give to Baily for him to incorporate into the finished product. James worked on the audio, mainly altering the voice of one of our interviewees who wished to remain anonymous. He also finished off the transcribing which I supported him with. This, Baily found, was immensely helpful and shortened the editing time. I assisted in finding the quotes and statistics to appear in the documentary, and helped Amy in looking through all the B-roll footage. Pete worked on getting the audio and visuals synced up and then exported to Baily. This collaborative effort ensured that everyone was both working hard and passionately on the documentary, but also ensuring that we got it done efficiently and quickly. It was a quick, but enjoyable process. I was more than happy to help as I thoroughly enjoy editing, and I also wanted to help out our group after having been unable to attend some of the interviews.
