Rough Cut Deadline;

Today is the day that our rough-cuts have to completed and uploaded to Vimeo by the end of the session.
we started earlier today, to get in an extra lesson of editing.
Sophie has been lip-syncing the different segments of footage all morning. I am very pleased she is doing this because it helps when I get my chance after break to experiment with stop-motion style effects and also makes it easier and a lot more quicker when it comes to editing all of the footage to a sequence together.

I am finding that our footage is looking great and has real potential for our music video.
Hopefully after break or later on in this session today I will be able to try out different effects and editing techniques to see which will match our original idea for the video's footage.
We do have a few clips which do not have the music however, but this is because we can use it during the instrumental bits.

Here is a screengrab of the progress so far;
We have both had a bit of a technical fault with final cut express because it kept needing to render whenever we moved the footage. This was very irritating because it took up to six minutes to render each time! Luckily Nick has sorted this out now and has shown us how to stop this problem, we change the reel time to dynamic, not full which shows the footage a bit less quality but when we want to watch the full thing back again in high, we change it back to full and then wait for it to render at the end, which saves a lot more time.
I am pleased Nick has fixed this fault because it happens to me a lot.
