Three days of only three hours of sleep. "Linggit" is our entry for a short film contest over the past few weeks. We ended up winning 2nd place! With just a week to write, shoot, and edit, I spent almost an entire day editing for three days straight.
Breakdown of my editing process:
Original timeline: This is where I sequenced the clips, adjusted audio, and removed unwanted noise. Some clips were in Cinestyle, so I had to convert them to S-Log for consistency and faster color grading.
Color grading and SFX timeline: The first half of the film has cooler, darker tones to reflect the character’s depressive cycle, while the other half shifts to warmer tones (orange and yellow) to represent a positive change in their life. I also added sound effects here for a cleaner and more organized workflow.
Final timeline: This is where I added subtitles and adjusted the global audio for better clarity, avoiding the hassle of tweaking individual clips.
"Linggit" - a short film Directed by Ceejay Villarico, Written by Shannah Corpuz & Edited by Me. Starring Frank Calvin Lustre as Nico, with Julia as Ryia & Cookie as the dog.
For the video timeline I will send the tiktok link in the comments section.
