editing day 2

My Goodness:

Between listening to the games, family, and editing my day have been swamp. I put a good eight hours of editing which means I did a total of 16 hours in two days. I am pretty much done. I need my client to say he likes it and then its all about the final touches. I really hope he likes it. I mean it sucks when you do something and they look at you and call it garbage. But I don't think he will, it looks good.

Graphics and music:
today was about graphics, making and positioning them. One of the most challenging things is maintaining the grab you have on your audience. The average person has the attention span of 3 seconds. For anyone who doesn't edit let me break this down. If you have a video and its 2 min long, you will , at very least, need 40 different view points or a lot of crazy action going on in your shots, one of the two. I have the mixture of both on this one.  I also had the fun of finding music that fit the video. Unless you are a music genius and can compose in the matter of hours, you will be looking through royalty free music forever. And I did eventually find the songs that do work for this project. But I can't complain I have had a blast this weekend.

No days off:
I normally have a few days off and can do what I want to do though I will not stop working till friday and I must tell you, I Love it. Man it feels good, I am in the process of already trying to find my next gig. And while I am not filming I will definitely be working on getting the equipment I need. This was the jump start I needed.

I was going to talk about the equipment I needed this time but I will save that post for another day

Drum Roll
This week I will be introducing Making of a midwife. Sadly there is only a few posts so far but I do believe she has a voice and I do believe she has a passion and desire to change the world. So go and check her out and leave comments.

The lair is always open.
