Very nearly done....

An incredibly hectic weekend STILL editing but finally I'm pleased with the video overall. Until I spotted a stupid spelling mistake which took a bit of rectifying. Here's the final edit. I can't watch it anymore. My eyes hurt.
Compressors and their specific merits have been hot topics of conversation as well as 'is this straight' during the putting together of the exhibition today. I'm pleased with the images I have chosen to display - they are very bold and eyecatching. A weird feeling really that this year has flown by so quickly. Literally seems like 10 minutes ago when we all met and sat down to make our group animation. This return to education has fulfilled all the goals I had set in my mind initially and alot more besides. I have improved my design and technical skills and my work reflects these gains. I built a website, made a video, got some work comissioned and all in all had a very pleasant time back at The Norwich School of Art and Design (I'm not a fan of the new moniker though) I feel a sense of achievement and am quite proud of myself all round. There were many ups and downs within this intensive time and I just about kept my head above water.
So, what's next?

Finished Edit

Well, after a mental amount of long days and late night, here's a final edit for the video, very happy with how it turned out. Still trying to find a better compression for the web as I'm not too happy with the resolution here. The hi-res version looks great and I can't wait to see it on a big screen. Can't believe this year has flown by so fast! A long mental journey of ups and downs, lots of hurdles along the way and a lots of self-doubt, but I'm glad I stuck with it! Anyway, I think this video fulfills the slot for a Masters project and I enjoyed all the processes from start to finish. Even colour keying for hours!

New Rough Edit

Here's a rough edit of how it's going to look. I'm very happy so far - the first half is more or less o.k. and the second half is incomplete. Don't know about including the smoke on the end part or if it looks a bit shit or not, but I quite like it...I don't know ?

This weekend.....

...was good fun, a nice change from being cooped up in front of my computer all hours day and night -I played a festival in Selestat, France withe The Toy Dolls. Was really hot and I'm really unfit currently so it was a bit of a killer.Managed to sling together a rough edit of my Masters project, lots more to do and time is rapidly slipping away....
