Avery video

As I'm waiting for my video to render (which seems to be longer than the time I actually work on it), I thought I'd blog a bit about how I thought making the video went.

Number One: It took FOREVER ...
Maybe it was the fact that we took over an hour of footage for a four-minute video. Maybe it's the fact that I'm a bit of a perfectionist and am trying really hard to make the best video I can. Either way, it's taking a lot longer than I thought but thankfully I kind of prepared for that so I'm not completely time crunched.

Number Two: I wish I had longer ...
The video will be done in about a half hour I think ... and I'm happy with it. However, I keep coming up with ideas in my head that I'd like to add ... but I think at one point I just have to stop. I don't want to overdo it and I need to work on my other video for now. Perhaps if I get the 90-second video done in decent time I'll work on other add-ons for the four-minute.

Number Three: I LOVE this ...
I do. It's frustrating. I wish I had gotten other shots. I wish I had more time. But every second I'm in this studio working on it I'm completely happy with what I'm doing. I love the freedom of creativity. I love the fact that I'm producing something many many people could be watching. It's thrilling, really. And I'm really enjoying not only filming but editing as well. Perhaps I should have been a MEPR major .....

Other than that I'm just trying to finish it up now ... I'll post it when I'm finished within the next week so watch for it!
