Reels like this have a different work flow than most editing projects. I started with a collection of clips and a song to set them to. Simple enough, but the audio clip was about two minutes longer than the total time on the video clips. It took about ninety minutes to edit the audio clip down to exactly a minute. It was a very repetitive song, and simply cutting it off at sixty seconds would have made it sound very dull. Rather, I divided the song up by the beats and cut out sections that were too long or too repetitious. The trance element made it a little harder to join snippets of the music together, but it was doable.
The clips themselves were organized in order of technical mastery, with a few liberties taken here and there. The clip with dialogue was initially going to be one of the first animations shown, since it is a more impressive piece than some of the others. In the end, however, it was more important to put this clip at a low point in the song, so that the music would not overpower the dialogue.
