[QUOTE="DexterK, post: 2472877, member: 847062"] ...loathe even wanting to edit it? I'm sure everyone (meaning all filmmakers) feels this way, when you just wish you had done something different with a scene and accomplished perfection. Being one who wants everything right it can be very difficult to move on. However, I did finish the film after reshooting most of the film and I always have lingering doubts about getting people together again to shoot. It's really difficult to do so sometimes. I shot in the autumn and up in the northwest the weather is unpredictable, by luck on the last day of november we got clear skies, but it was freezing... I don't think I'll want to shoot a film outside in late autumn ever again. But if anyone could give there thoughts about filmmaking experience I'd appreciate it. Also this isn't my first film I've made tons before this one and that is why I feel like filmmaking may not be suited for me. I showed people my film and most of them were silent, no one really said anything besides, "Oh the scenery is nice" or the quality is really good... I really put lots of effort into the script and I had an editor help me. I love filmmaking but it is a drainer of life force sometimes... it can make you stop excercising and eating healthy... theres no time and the stress of it during production is always on my mind. Right now I'm on a long hiatus from anything to do with making films... [/QUOTE]
