Final Project Progress!

So, this is actually my update for last class. I completed the first draft of my video for the final on Friday in class after having had braved the crazy wind on Thursday painting by the river and taping it and taking pictures and having a BLAST!

So I imported and edited my footage and made a video roughly six minutes, as I had planned. Lana and I watched it together and she seemed generally optimistic with my progress, which excited me greatly! So she gave me some ideas (which all are great ideas) and I went home and started working on the music. I plan to post my silent video on here in a few seconds, but unfortunitly can not post the music as its an image and a video posting sorta sight here. Right, so I started playing the piano and watching the movie, fully aware that the music was absolutely, positively, no doubt going to make or break my video.

So I sat and I played and I tried and it just wasn't it yet I slightly worried that my piano skills weren't ready for such an endeveor I decided to make it work. I kept working on it and after twenty more minutes my phone started to vibrate. It was my old buddy Jorge. He wanted to hangout. I wanted to keep working. He plays music too. So I picked him up and we got started. He played my old keyboard and I played my digital piano and in no time at all we had the video on and half of the music was written. It was beautiful. Almost as beautiful as the actually feeling of creating the painting just the day before. Wow, what a beautiful couple of days I had :)

So we recorded his part. I am currently cleaning it up I have recorded my part as well. I have begun to really turn it into the music for this video. Tomorrow night, Tuesday, Jorge and I plan to finish the other half, which we started working on before we ran out of time on Friday.

ALSO! Very important information.I almost have Final Cut on my lap top, and will by tomorrow. I plan to use the ideas of Lana to my advantage and clean up my video even more tomorrow before we record. I am to spend ALL of Thursday finishing this up because I am out of work at 9:30 AM. Wednesdays form study ALL day unfortunitly :(

I also have organized my SCHOOL folder on my laptop so I am pretty ready to finish this project and burn the DVD of my semester in VL2! Oh I can't believe Friday's already the end September, come, quicker!

So, now that I've said every last possible thing I needed to say, at last, here's my actual evidential progress known as the first version of the movie which is my final. I really could have just said here's my final video! Yah, so, with ANYMORE further adieu, here's the video!

OH WAIT, ONE LAST THING! Ignore the title, IT IS CHANGING! I REALLY don't like the title right now, it is way too gay, even for me! HAHA! Right. Ok, ok, for real this time! My Final (thus far):














AH!!!

My video WILL NOT LOAD! I believe that it may have to do with the fact that it is not compressed for the internet yet and is just in quicktime... I am unsure... I am trying to call Haley but she didn't answer. I will ask my roomate when he gets home. Maybe after I get FINAL CUT actually installed and working on here I will be all set. I am pissed!

THE VIDEO WILL COME!
