Editing Woes
I have spent almost the entire weekend editing and can no longer stand my own project. What better way to relieve stress than rant about it on my blog! While I have taken breaks to do human things like eat and sleep and even my visit uncle, I have spent way too much time watching the same clips on my computer and am a bit burnt out.
The first major task I faced was finding the right sound. Ben and I looked through several free music websites during class, and found a few sounds we liked but finding the perfect music or sting for every part of the opening is a much more daunting task than I imagined. Luckily, I have found almost everything I need on freesound.org which is a website I highly recommend as it offers free user-submitted sounds ranging from brushing your teeth, to alien invasions. The only difficult part is translating a tune in my head into a search query for a sound I can use. After spending a lot of time on freesound however, I believe I picked the right music and stings for our opening and am excited to share them soon.
As we speak, or as I'm writing this I guess, my film opening, "Wiped Out" is 2 minutes and 20 seconds long. In other words, its over time and I now face the task of cutting out 20 more seconds which trust me is an ETERNITY when it comes to editing. I have already cut out a few seconds by shortening a few scenes, and am currently looking for interesting ways to speed some scenes up and trim out the fat.
Until tomorrow comrades, wish me luck!
