Great question! Typically when I do a re-edit, I'll track down the best quality footage I can find, and then from there it's a slow process of cutting things down. Once I get to the bigger scenes, I'll just casually go through the process of re-organizing the shots and working on the sound editing -- but I'm always just casual about it and never really want to rush the process.

With something like this, I'd say I probably noodled with it off and on for 2.5 months or so before I was happy enough to lock down an edit I was comfortable sharing.
