Post Trip - Day 12

Almost there! We took what we had to Mr. Silverman today to get his feedback. With the things he told us we were able to make what we had much more professional and elegant. We added in cross fading and dissolving transitions as well as cleaned up our previously raged timeline. We trimmed clips that had unnecessary pauses and got rid of audio we didn't need. Our most noticeable changes we made were with our outro and the coloring in our interviews. We completely redid out outro and credits to fit the new style of our video and brightened up the colors of our interviews to make them more appealing. The only thing we have left to do is add music and export which we're going to do over the weekend. I'm very excited with what this video has shaped up to be!

Post Trip - Day 11

Today we did more touch up work. We added in some footage we didn't have in before and took out footage we didn't think we needed. We also added an intro and an outro with thanks to everyone who helped us along the way. I'm beginning to see the finish line!

Post Trip - Day 9

Today we did some detail work. We focused on how the whole project flows together and the little nuances that make it look good. There are still many more things to come but the things we added today, such as stabalization, cropping, and movement, are a big step in the right direction.

Post Trip - Day 8

More editing! I can already tell that this is going to take a while. We got a lot of trip footage situated today in the premeire timeline but there is still a lot of things to accomplish. Intros and outros (including credits) still need to be put in along with transitions, music, and final touches. Long way to go!

Post Trip - Day 7

Today I spent all of my time editing. On sunday we were able to film and record all of the extra shots we needed so I'm glad to have all of that over with. I finished trimming and merging all of the baseline shots and audio together so tomorrow I will begin adding footage we got from the trip on top of that. Other things we have to worry about are editing individual clips from the trip and adding music in the background of everything. That could be tough. I'm happy with the progress we've made so far.

Post Trip - Day 6

Now we get down to business. We received comments on the rough draft of our script from Mr. Silverman last night with mostly positive feedback (which is a huge relief. Not having to spend too much time editing is going to allow us to spend more time recording and compiling the video itself which is time that can't be taken for granted. Today we are spending our time make final revisions to the script and associating footage with certain parts of it. This should allow us to move more quickly once we actually start making the video. We made plans to record the voice over Sunday and get the other small pieces of footage that we need. We're going to be using Adobe Premiere to make the video. Neither Alex or I have ever used the software before to later today I'm going to spend some time getting comfortable with it.

Post Trip - Day 5

We fished the script! I'm so excited, we put a lot of hours into it and I really think it payed off. It ended up being about ten pages long so nothing else really needs to be added. Now we need to edit the script and start recording. Mr. Silverman was kind enough to take a look at it for us and give us some feedback. Fingers crossed!
