Post Production.

I have been trying to rest up this last week and was doing a good job of it too, until Sunday that is. I had a great day at the beach and a good night having dinner with friends after (sorry no pics). A good nights rest too. But when I woke up I knew I needed to work on the videos some more hoping to have them done by today (Monday).

I sort'a started off on the wrong foot with editing. I won't get too detailed because most would not understand and those who did would not wish to be bombarded with factors of compression and rendering. Needless to say it went a lot slower than I am used to. I had one out of two videos finished by the end of the day and went to export it so I might put it online for all to see. I ended up making a novice mistake and screwing up everything, literally. My computer was telling me that the video would take 6-8 hours to export. (in case you don't know that is a redonkulous amount of time for only 3 minutes of product)

After waiting 3 hours to see if things just got hanged up and hoping it was a lie I gave in. I stopped the whole thing and worked my way back to undo (not as simple as Ctl + Z ) my steps until I found out what had gone wrong. I did find out and I did fix it.

However, now I have lost one whole day of editing time and am starting a new week of work today. I have learned from my mistakes and will be implementing safe guards so as not to make the same mistakes twice.

I will most likely post all the videos at once or right after one another because of my lack of time.

I am sure with week will be much smother (the second week always is) and full of more stories.

See you next post (with more pics)!
