Editing

I am trying to decide on what piece of software I am going to use for editing the film, either Final Cut, or Sony Vegas Pro 9. But for editing music I am going to use Free Music Editor, and for the titles I shall use Paint.net

I have begun the editing process  using Sony Vegas Pro 9 and have found a way to create stop animation using it, which means I no longer have to download the trial version of Stop Motion Pro which would have only given me a maximum of 16 uses', as I am not using pictures taken via a camera to create my stop animation it would not be a huge benefit if  did use it. 

The Stop Motion animation is going to be used for the grim reaper and also for the title screens. 

I was originally going make the title screens by working the names into the film itself, by either writing them on the ground or wall. But yesterday whilst watching Tenacious D, I thought I could do an animation a bit like that but not so comical and not using characters. But by having the scythe spin across the screen and as it does so blood splatters out spelling the out the name. (This Part is not finalized for the main title screen the scythe will spin towards the camera land and then a drop of blood will fall off the blade of the scythe create a small puddle of blood on the floor where the name will appear.
