After the Rough Cut

After i last wrote i was in a panic. I was waiting on Randy to do his part for our Flash project and my footage just wasn't importing no matter what i tried; Mary VerPlank couldn't help me, and i had the same problems when uploading to Jose's computer. So needless to say my Thanksgiving weekend wasn't the most enjoyable. After the break, the footage finally worked out so i could get on to editing. I was in the lab a lot last week, about 20 hours total just trying to get all my projects done.

So today i finished my rough cut, and it took a while. After composing the music for both the theme and the background, it was time to get started. I first edited all the clips into a cohesive timeline with Final Cut. Then i took that into After Effects to fill in the green screen. Then i went back into final cut for the cutaways and fades and to just tie everything together.

All in all i think my rough cut is pretty good. The only thing about it is that i dont like my voice over. I had to reshoot the parts too many times and by the time i edited it, i had to go with "the best take" which sometimes wasn't good enough. But i cant redo the video now so that's what i have to work with.
