I should just anticipate from now on that any video-related project will take 10 times longer to complete than I think it will. I started editing my music video from scratch last night after I discovered that the file sizes were causing the computer in the IT building to crash after a certain point. So now I'm going through the raw footage again to recut everything and save them as smaller files. My first set of files ranged from about 10 to 60 Mbs each, so this time I'm going to compress them from 4 to 15 Mbs, and hopefully that should solve my issues. If not, I think this video is cursed and just isn't meant to be.
Tonight, we filmed one of the videos we're going to show during the first-year orientation next semester. It took us a couple of hours to film this clip that's going to be about five minutes long. It would have been so much easier if we could have just gotten another videocamera for different angles. I know the acting can be hard, but I discovered just how exhausting it is to direct and work a camera for two hours nonstop. I don't even want to think about how long editing is going to take. Hopefully I'll be able to get a couple of people to edit with me so they can continue doing it after I go abroad, since I kind of doubt I'd be able to finish editing three videos in the next week. I wish I could interface my brain with a computer and have the videos done just the way I picture them in my head in about 15 seconds. I think these clips are going to come together nicely, though, and everyone did a great job acting.
