Busy Week Ahead

by  • 

We’ve fallen behind on our PSA. We had planned to film this past Saturday, but we were unable to because all the cameras were being used to film Beauty and The Beast. We’re going to film Wednesday. We’ll spend all of Friday’s class editing. However, I’m not going to be here next Monday, but Katherine and Ryan should be able to complete editing by then.

Hopefully, I’ll get caught up on my TVPs by the end of class today.

I’m going to see Avatar in Imax 3D in Saco this Saturday! I’m pretty stoked because it looks awesome! Grace L. told me today that the guy has been working on technology for the film for 14 years! That’s unbelievable! Hopefully, it’ll live up to all the hype. Anyway, I’m gonna bounce now.

After Effects completes me.

by  • 

This week I really got into After Effects and was able to explore several cool features. I’ve followed along with some Video Copilot Tutorials and have made good use of the VC products we have purchased. I think I’m beginning to know my way around the software, but there is soooo much it will take a while before I know where everything, much less how to use it well. I think I am to the point however where I can take an idea and, with some work, bring it to fulfillment. This week I worked more on tracking, some keying, and I started going through the effects in AE to see what we had, and what we could potentially do with it

2 WEEKS LEFT TILL PUTT PUTT DOC DEADLINE!!

by  • 

Spencer and I have been working on the documentary for The Putt Putt Syndrome by Allen Cognata. We now have two weeks left until our deadline. I’m stressing out a little. I have forty minutes of roughly cut and organized footage, and Allen is looking for ninety minutes of wonderful professional quality documentary. I want this documentary to be perfect and I’m going insane. 
I’m trying to focus on the impact of the movie on our town and the family-ness of the set… but we have so much footage. It’s hard to find the right clips and put everything together… I want this to be perfect and we’re running out of time. 
HOLY CRAP.

Product Poll

by  • 

I see that people have been voting on the poll, awesome. However, since the majority of you have voted “other” that kind of begs the question, “what is other?” What kind of ideas do you guys have? Please post or comment with your suggestions. Keep in mind, the poll isn’t the sole deciding factor if a purchase is made, it’s just a way of feeling out what video students would find most helpful.

Thanks everybody! Please remember to vote in the @15 contest! We are holding in tenth place right now. Get the word out! Get your friends voting! ANYBODY who is a teen can vote, not just us Winthropians!
