The editing process continued this summer with the help of our assistant editing team. Two new Boston-based editors (Ann and Ann) helped us string together new sections of the film. After much tweaking and late night editing, we completed a 20 minute rough assembly of the film, which we hope will attract potential investors.
Laura, our New York-based editor, helped us finish editing one of our main stories. We celebrated with a trip to the Brooklyn Cyclones game. Cyclones won.
A sweet Power G4 Macintosh with Final Cut Pro is the latest addition to Eliot Lives. It helped us complete the open of our film, which features a quick look at how novice balloon twisters do when handed a balloon and a pump.

March-April 2005
Welcome to ELP's Assistant Editing Team!
Sara and Naomi meet for an intensive work weekend of editing with Assistant Editor Laura as well to do pre-production work for our three new Assistant Editors. Paper edits for two new sections of the film are handed off to the new editing team! We are still aiming to complete the film in time to submit to the Sundance Film Festival in September 2005.
Music and Animation!
Jason DeWaard begins composing music for Section #1 of film. Animator Eric Rosenbaum starts preliminary work on creating an animated open for the film.
$$$$
ELP does serious brainstorming about how to raise the necessary $40K to complete the film. Aside from small fundraising parties this summer, we are hoping to find a investor who would really like to see this film achieve its potential...if you know of anyone who may be interested (or if you are interested yourself!) please email us. And remember, you can always check out our SUPPORT THE FILM section of this website.

The New York party was a lot of fun (and not a bad fundraiser too!). We had a great time bringing together seasoned twisters and people who've never touched a balloon in their life. Special thanks to everyone who attended and donated and especially to The Parlour for being such a gracious host and to our twister friends, Lanna Lee Maheux, Sheree Brown-Rosner, Mike Gold, Juggles, Glitter and Lil Twister for all their help.

EXTRA special thanks to Jonathan Beller who's beautiful photo we used on our invitations (and who we totally forgot to thank at the party...).
