So here’s the standard weekly update. I also want to try to do a review every week… so I’ll get to that later this week. When I don’t have a chem quiz and an english quiz tomorrow. 😀Â
Anyway… I already made a list of what I’m working on in an earlier post… but here’s the update: Letters and Cabaret DVDs are in the works!! Letters is actually basically done… just waiting on the slideshow… which I really want to do!! And I will have it done by Friday. But if you guys need it earlier someone else can step in and I can just help when I have time… I know a lot of people are waiting for their orders!! Yeaaah money makkerrr… haha.Â
And I’m also helping edit Cabaret. I got 3 different angles lined up today… which took forever!! Then I spent a couple minutes editing Easton’s song… only to find out that we still have to put in the angle that shows his hands. But hopefully we can still use most of what I did. So it’s completely fine, and now everything is lined up so the rest of the editing should be pretty easy! Although I think I left out one or two angles from the second night… there was so much footage!Â
And we got internet for all our computers!! Yeah tech guy!! And something’s going on with a hard drive? Yeah I’m definitely not a tech person at all. I can do the basic editing stuff and make it look good but as far as actual computer things like hard drives and megabytes and just technology in general… not so much…Â
Perfect example of my lack of tech skills: Spencer re-saved all the Putt Putt stuff when we got the new hard drive and I have no idea where it is. I just click on the shortcut, do my thing, and save it to wherever it is. Oh yeah, speaking of Putt Putt, Evan and I got all the b-roll for when Allen talks about Winthrop. I feel like it will come together when I have some time to just sit down and work on it after school. But between sports and theater and this annoying thing called other classes… I don’t have enough time!! I wish I could just sit in that room and edit things all day. But I would like to go to college. So… yeah.Â
It’s all good.Â
I'm going to be working on the DVD menu today (which is going to be freaking awesome) so you should have time to do the slideshow. I might help speed up the process by picking out some good photos. But since you were there you probly know better than I do what constitutes a "good" photo. Anyway. Really? All three angles? For like, both acts? Or just a section? Either way, great job. And Anna, to be totally honest, that hard drive change was so confusing I'm not entirely sure where everything is…which is why those few files are still offline. I agree that we all really do need to just sit down and FINISH the darned BTS doc. It'll feel good to have a polished product out of all that footage.
"I wish I could just sit in that room and edit things all day."
Anna is truly one of us! Also, at NESCOM, I can stay at the editing stations until two in the morning. YEAAAAAAH!
(THANK YOU for not changing the color of the text. I appreciate it.)
-SIR
awww Spencer!! Yeah it was 3 angles for the whole thing but I don't know if they line up the whole way through because of the issues with some of the laptops? But I definitely want to work on both Cabaret and Letters.
And that stupid documentary. Just kidding, I really do love it, but its so ANNOYING just hanging over my head. I would love some extra help spence. 🙂 And Evan said he'd help too. Someday after school we will just it down and work for a good few hours. I just have NO TIME IN MY LIFE. but it's fine.
ps. I just forgot to change the text color… won't happen again. 😀
Hahahaha! I too wish I could just sit and edit film all day….you are a lucky guy, Spencer….you may never see the light of day next year! 😛
We will get this bts doc done. I have faith in us, and how cool will it be to have our own doc on a real DVD. Pretty sweet! And great for the resume or college app. So Anna, though I know you have to work on other classes too, this could help you get into college, not hinder you. 😉
haha thanks Shaw. I know it will get done. I just want it done soon. But there's other videos I want to work on too! And all the other stuff. Oh the life of a "well rounded" student.
