Editing Alex

The storage constraints of the footage (several hundred gigabytes at the moment - it took nearly half as many hours as it did to film to transfer the footage from the camera to computer storage) have been overcome momentarily by keeping it on cold storage and the student art server, but this isn't safe as a long-term solution, and eventually I'll need to compress the raw footage, if only a little, and burn it on to several DVDs. At least ten will be needed per subject, probably more (if I can get the double-sided 9 gig variety). Currently I am working out sorting Sean's and Alex's footage into themed clips which can be activated by a future tagging system, but there are some common sequences between them:

• Both wipe their faces thoroughly with a towel at some point.

• Both spend some time in front of a mirror as part of their morning preparation.

• They both make breakfast and wash their crockery, although in different orders.
