Back at it Again (my enemy has risen from the dead)

    We have begun the final countdown. The antepenultimate blog post of the portfolio project I have to say... I will not miss the project. Sorry all you Cabridge people, but this project was actually the final boss to my senior year. But, you know, I am glad that I had the experience. It would be wrong of me to say that I walked away with nothing, when I walked away with a lot. 

    But I'm gonna save all the sappy stuff for the penultimate blog post. Right now, we are going to talk about the current bane of my existence: the CCR. 

    So, if y'all have been aching for an update, I've got one for you right now. Both of my CCRs have been filmed in their entirety. That means the demon plot, the song and the rap are all done. Filming the demon one was actually was the final straw, but all the music videos were actually pretty chill. It did not even take me that long to film both of them, maybe a little under two hours to film both.

    But, let's talk about the post-production for my CCRs. 

    Today, I have begun the editing the first CCR media product. When I was exporting all the footage, it turns out that I have a lot of extra footage and approximately a bajillion outtakes. But that's alright. As my teacher so wisely shared, it is better to have too much footage than not enough. 

    As I am editing, I realize exactly how much I am going to have to convey in voice over accompanied by some visual aides. I wish it did not have to be like that, but it is simply the nature of the project. There was no way I was going to memorize all of the CCR responses, so I mostly filmed things that relate to the plot. 

    But, back to the stupid amount of footage that I have, as I am typing this I am waiting for it all to upload to Google Drive. As of right now, it has definitely taken more that 20 minutes and it is still going strong. It's probably the school Wifi. 

    Obviously I am not completely done with editing, but just to give everyone out there in blog world a little taste of what I am going through, here we have my current timeline: 

    Doesn't that just look terribly delightful. That's me being sarcastic. I may be the editing god, but the editing is the god over me. Blogging this right now is how I am taking a break from my good five hours of editing.

    And, oh look, the first product is still a minute over the time I have allotted it. Fantastic. 

    I know it is all going to be fine, but the clock is really ticking. To be honest, I do not think I could have any of this sooner, but I still wish I did. Alas, this is where we are. But, I am going to take a break before I crash out. 

And now for the movie quote of the day...
