Animator video blog - week 9

10 minutes to film. 15 minutes to edit.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm still debating if I want 3D in my major narrative. I don't really, I only made a model of my set to help with the perspectives. I'd rather draw my backgrounds :/
Maybe I can work on making a 3D show real instead (walks, runs, ect.). I'll be needing one of those for my portfolio if I want to work at my dream studio and I'd rather produce something worth while instead of something that I won't use, particularly considering what I'm currently doing involves modeling (BLAH).

Oh yeah and for your enjoyment here's last weeks blog. I recorded it but was too sick to edit it; so here it is, a week late.

and some bonus JumpFails for your enjoyment

Animator video blog - week 5

10 minutes to film, 45 mintues to edit.

Lessons learnt this week: Don't edit film while doing laundry. Laundry gets forgotten very quickly; A 3 minute video at 17mb takes about 12 minutes to upload on a good connection; remember to empty memory card before filming. It will always run out of space while you're on a roll; Mobile phone equals big distraction. Particularly when it's family.

I was going to try have my photoshop talk up tonight but I have to go back and cut it up again into smaller pieces to my computer/internet connection/youtube can handle it.

Animator video blog - week 4

I've been so out of it this weekend, I nearly forgot to do this.

5 minutes to record, 40 minutes to edit.

Lessons learnt this week: I had wanted to take some footage to show the progress of my letter but according to my Maya the files are corrupt; we need screen capture programs on the class computers. Because that would be awesome; recording after a long nap my voice pitch go all over the place; according to youtube I have people viewing my stuff from Europe and the US (whaaat?!); Somehow I manage to bring home files for the video blog except for the one I want; Remeber to face the camera when talking

Animator video blog - week 3

Lessons learnt this week: remember to charge camera battery before setting up to record; remember to bring extra files home to be put into video; I say yeah! a lot; I have really poor memory so recounting the week is a lot harder than it looks; specially when I forget words that I knew five seconds ago; over half of the recorded video (that's now on the cutting room floor) is me staring silently at the camera, or at a random wall in my room or me coughing.

15 minutes recording, hour for editing.

I ♥ video editing.
funfunfun

Animator video blog - week 2

Lessons learned this week: uploading a 14mb file on a dinky dialup connection takes forever; how to balance ones camera; inserting one clip over the top of another; did I mention that the upload to youtube took over an hour?; props are good and bad at the same time. At least when I'm involved; while I love learning all this editing, I'm already sick of seeing my face;

Animator video blog - week 1

Done because I'm a silly girl who wants to learn video editing and all that.
And because it was ridiculously fun.

An hour worth of filming. Hour and a half for editing.

Lessons learnt: if can't think of what to say remain silent because it makes it easier to edit; I say fun an awful lot; Write some notes beforehand about what is being covered because chances are I won't remember them; enthusiasm dies quickly when you have to repeat yourself several times; clean bedroom.
