She was in the habit of taking things for granted
..granted there wasn’t much for her to take.
See, I went on Easter vacation to the mountains, what, 3 weeks ago? And snowboarding full speed down the hills - a fantastic feeling by the way, I love snowboarding - I fished my camera out of my pocket and recorded a tiny clip. Somehow, I then got the idea that the moment I got home, I’d add some music to the clip, change the hues and contrast a bit, upload it to youtube, and then post it here with the subject “this is life”.
Now, this never happened, as you might be able to tell. When I got home, I discovered that Premiere Pro hates me. At least, I was unable to successfully import that clip while keeping the right frame rate, resolution, etc - apparently, it turns out that PP wasn’t exactly made for editing home videos recorded with the Olympus Mju’s film function, haha.
And since then, I’ve just been really really busy. I’ve got a bunch of emails in my inbox marked “REPLY TO THIS”, as well as a fantastically long list of things to do. So if you’ve sent me and email during March or April, and not received any reply - please stay patient, I’m getting to it! Eventually! I promise. :)
Right now I’m working a series of three posters for a school project, where the task’s to create an advertising campaign for Ikea’s series of Billy bookshelves. It’s surprisingly difficult. :( (and I’ve come to realize that my concept isn’t nearly as original as I thought it was, so because of that I’m not going to be posting it online, boo.)
I would love to try snowboarding one day. It sounds invigorating.
Posted by Myra, April 9th, 2008Video editing was so frustrating for me the first time, because the camera didn’t work, just like yours didn’t. It wasn’t until I got a different camera that I was able to experiment. It’s incredibly frustrating, and I wonder why technology hasn’t caught up with that yet? There should be a video editing software that goes with every camera and every extension, sigh.
