the echo grows louder

Hey flimsundass gang,
Where are you all? Can we start sharing "film-making" experiences please, however sundassy? Ashu and Sandeep, you've used our camera a lot. And had a problem with it. Could share that.
Okay, I'll start. I've shot some stuff for a short docu I'm planning to make. Probably call it 'Under the Skin'. It's about how this hairdresser Smita gets a tatoo. Basically, how "personal" it is, both for her and for the tatoo artist, Savio. Since I've been logging the footage, I'll tell you a bit about it.
I interviewed Smita about what getting the tatoo means to her. Decent interview, but she speaks very softly, so lots of it, I found, is not going to be usable in the edit. The mistake I made was, although I went close so that the camera mike might pick up her voice, she had some music playing already at her place. Of course I should have asked her to turn it off, but she was jittery and I wanted her to be comfortable...
I got a good interview of Savio, the tatoo artist. Also, shots of his workspace and home. Then Smita's workspace and home. Nice mood, I feel. Lots of what I've shot is mid-shot and CU. The home shots are also tight because, well, you know mumbai houses - all passage and low ceilings! But appropriate to the idea of "personal" and "under the skin".
I need good music, because both listen to rock a lot. So i think, that for the soundtrack. I also want to get shots of Savio swimming. He swims regularly... plus I get to see him in his trunks!!!
Wish me luck on the edit. if anyone has any suggestions, please post... Artists - Podu and Ashu - any ideas on transitions between shots? I don't know anything beyond dissolve and fade in fade out, and jump cuts. Can't figure whether to play with this or stick to simple cuts.
May the Force be with You (and whoever has the camera, give it back to me soon).
