Editing.

THOUGH WE FINISHED FILMING
there was one important thing we failed to mention...

We were editing as we shot,
which means that by the time we
got to the wrap party, we had
2 hours of footage
already rough cut together
to screen for everyone!

Pretty cool stuff, if you ask me.

Please, call him Evan.
And thank him for his hard work!

----------






As you can see, he experienced
almost every emotion while editing.

Day 13:

MUSICIAN DAY:
Today, part of shooting included the use of another Kusikay actor.
(the others playing the parts of Arturo, Rafael, and Umberto).

In the film, a blind musician plays the charango
as Paul walks with Rafael and Arturo.
Though the trio is unaware, Jano is close behind.

The charango is a small South American stringed instrument,
traditionally made with the shell of the back of an armadillo.
