So far editing has consisted of sitting down, probably with cups of tea, and watching through the hours of footage. Patrick (my co-editor) and I spent a couple hours last night watching through the Levey interviews and a handful of others. So if you were one of my interviewees, I've likely been watching your face (in footage-form) a whole bunch over the past couple of days.
Once we're done watching through the interviews, Patrick and I are going to compare notes (we've been taking notes while we watch; paying attention to things like overarching themes and well-expressed sentiments and funny and/or touching moments). It has been nice to have another pair of eyes watching the same footage and likely seeing things differently from what I see. I am confident that our collaboration is going to elicit interesting results, at least! It's also very helpful that Patrick's background in Judaism is limited; that means that he provides a perspective as someone who may not as readily pick-up on specific references. So whereas my exposure to Judaism might cause me to assume something to be common knowledge, he can point out that the same something might require more explanation.
The editing process has been a bit more tiring than I anticipated, but it has also been quite fun to watch through the footage and to make connections between different folks and their perspectives and experiences. I'm excited to see where things go!
Thank you all for reading, and I'll update you soon as the editing process continues! Happy almost Chanukah, too!
