I’ve never had editing help, and now all I want in life is more of it.
Alex (click here to meet him) really came through for me tonight by helping with my ‘Blog Party’ episode.
I thought I was fast in FinalCut but I’ve got nothing on this guy… I’m like dictating, “there, cut now to here, smooth that out”, he mashes his keyboard and it all just lines up.
And like a true addict, despite him giving me 9 hours last night, when he woke up today there was a text from me unreasonably asking for more.
Pounded the crap outta my laptop making my Blog Party Screening.
Sometimes a song really gets me during editing… tonight it was Lady Gaga’s new one, Bad Romance. During the editing of ‘My Intro‘ is was Headsprung by LL Cool J.
For sure I’ve decimated my hearing by a coupld dBs; they were heat hot and it was worth it. You probably woulda liked seeing me lose my mind dancing around… it’s just I have to even out the hours (10 tonight) of sitting totally still with Final Cut.
Look what I did though:
On the right is what the footage looks like for five FIVE explorations I ripped and rendered.
My finger musta slipped and hit ‘4’, therefore making it all zoomed up, and I didn’t catch the mistake till too late. Have to start from scratch. Press play.
… wired you’ve no idea omg.
Subject line: Proof.
I’d Twittered last week how my rent cheques never made it to my landlord… I actually had to use the infamous line, “no dude really, the cheques are in the mail”.
This is the second set. And of course the day after I cancelled the first one they showed up at his door.
