[Teen/VVP] The Editing Tutorial!
Well, last Tuesday we got a tutorial on editing using iMovie! Sam did a really great quick tutorial on iMovie and editing in it. Sadly, we didn't have many people there at the Machinima program... and we were short three group members (which left only 2 people), and that didn’t help our group because Thursday I was in Albuquerque for the NYLC Conference.
However, I'm sure they were fine without me because the last time I was out they did a great job at filming, so I look forward to seeing what kind of progress the group has made on Thursday. If much couldn't be done, that's okay too because we have a lot of time to work on it the coming Thursday. Anyway, on Tuesday, we learned how to cut a clip and cool little tricks with iMovie. And then we went to editing on our own~ and my group found that the parts we wanted were extremely short! Therefore, after cutting, the edited portion we got turned out to be about a little over a second. Then, we decided that the second cut was too quick, so with some help from team "media piracy" my oh-so-blind-eyes were able to locate the slow-motion effect.
We ended up with about four seconds of video, which is still short, but we were also short on time so we couldn't really do anything much more. Although, we did think that the ghost-like effect might go well with the PSA when Miguel's avatar is dancing. So, overall, it was a pretty productive day because we did get some work done, and we did learn a lot from Sam. However, I am a little concerned about how things turned out on Thursday because we had three people who we needed to teach or update the editing process to, which might have caused a little delay in the work. Well, I'm sure they caught on quickly. I can't wait until Thursday ^^!!!!~
