Dear FinalCutPro,
I swear on my life I will never think I have "too much" footage. You were right, please forgive me.
Love always,
Tessa Davis
In my feeble experience with this equipment and "fieldwork", shooting the video and talking to people is always the best and most interesting experience. This assignment, people were especially patient with me. It was raining, I was frazzled, often in the middle of the street, and frequently shaking my fist in the air while being smited. I was like watching an episode of the three stooges while embodying all three characters.
Tippy was lovely to talk to and clearly unhappy about her store closing, as she expressed her dedication to the establishment for over two years. Linda, was exasperated to be on camera, but did end up speaking without breath or hesitation for nearly four minutes. You loved it, Linda.
On the other hand, the video editing. Oh, the horror!
Jen was right, I didn't give myself enough time; I was cocky and thought I could easily create some masterpiece because I had such an excellent idea and people who were really passionate about our country's financial well being.
Nope. Six hours of talking myself out of hysteria resulted in shaky camera angles, washed out stand ups, and some jumpy, breaks in interviews. However, as behind as I was, working under the pressure of a deadline put some fire under my seat. Thank you youtube, I have 129 minutes of uploading remaining.
Christ.
