I wish I would have log and captured every clip. But no lazy me. Had too much to do while it was capturing, couldn't be bothered to sit and log each clip. Ugh. I really f*d things up. Now I'm having a horrible time of editing. Going in and and making individual clips sucks!
I'm also having a hard time figuring out where to cut and where not to cut. It's really hard to cut it so that it goes smooth. I like editing abstract things so much better. This hard people!

don't give up
My sweet Italian friend emailed me today to ask me how to translate something for a film she's dubbing in Rome. After she asked me to describe what a "porn package" at a motel is, she mentioned that she had been reading my blog, and noticed that I hadn't posted recently. She said, "don't give up."
So to Serena, and my other dear readers, I haven't given up, I'm just pooped (and for Serena that means really freaking tired)
Trying to keep up the momentum after shooting has been rough. I'm exhausted and totally uninspired to edit, anything. And boy is there a lot to edit. I have a ton of work to do that I am not doing and most of it involves editing. What don't I like about editing? The solitude. The lack of outside stimulation. The tediousness of trying to figure out a program that I think hates me.
What am I doing instead of editing? Watching Hulu on my fancy new computer that I bought to edit, and baking. Anyone want a slice of Walnut Pumpkin Bread, or perhaps some pumpkin bread pudding. How 'bout some squash or some homemade soup? The guilt makes it taste better than usual.

capture
Today was the moment of truth. Would my footage look good after it was off the tape and in the computer. The answer is, yeah? I'm being really picky of course, but there is a spot in the top right hand corner of the shelves that is empty. It looks weird. Also, I should have got a more medium medium shot. The close up is weird for a cooking show. I also should have been more in control of the second camera operations. The second camera is so zoomy that I can't use most of it. I think I will be able to edit a decent looking episode, but a catchy trailer, I'm not so sure.
I've been at it for two hours and I have 10 secs of a 30-45 sec trailer. I can't remember how to work the cool effects and I think I may have run out of usable, cool looking b reel.
