I'm finally getting to this entry the night before Day 19 even begins. Actually, it's 2:05 am on Day 19. I'm going to go through this quickly, since I sadly have more work to complete before I begin to think of shutting my eyes for a night's sleep. Pardon the watered down, Spark Notes version.
Day 18 saw me doing some of the usual and some of the interesting. Beyond The Trailer went really well, without a hitch for the first time in a couple weeks. All the equipment worked fine and spirits were high. If I had a $1 for every Twilight joke we made...
Back in the day, when my editing equipment consisted of Windows Movie Maker (which to the non-editing crowd, is a simplistic piece of shit), much of my time was dedicated to cutting together clips from animated films or TV shows and timing it to music. "AMV" was the proper title. Monday was a continuation of what I had begun on Friday: creating the effects montage for the upcoming episode of Your FX. I had the chance to do the same thing my much younger self found pleasure in, but instead of movie clips, I was utilizing the hundreds of fan-submitted clips and putting them to a catchy, up-beat royalty-free music. The end result is quite the work of art, if I do say so myself. The process was easy for me and all the techniques I learned when a younger, more naive editor came to the forefront. Erik watched it and seemed pleased so I'm happy about that. Needless to say I'm anxiously awaiting it's completion.
Also shot the opening scene for the Thanksgiving episode of the Reel Good Show. Not my best work. Skipping a crucial step (actually listening to the audio being outputted), led to the tragic mistake of only one person's Lav mic being recorded. Upon finding this out, we had to shoot portions of the opening over again. Bad news for my tired arms and my "rep". Bobby just makes me nervous. I beat myself up about it for quite some time. But, despite my shoddy camerawork and sound mixing, the show turned out well and a tad more humorous than others have been. Not that other episodes aren't funny but this one is more...translatable humor? Tangible? Accessible? You know what I mean. Here's the episode:

Statement of Mission
What makes communicating over the Internet different than through Television? Film? Radio? What makes it unique? Whatever it is, clearly it's working! Next New Networks is thriving off of the medium of five minutes or less Internet videos and I've been taken along for the ride. With the label of Production Intern, I plan on learning these things, in addition to learning about myself. How can I communicate better? What can this heavy exposure to the industry do for my final year of education at Hofstra U? Will I thrive or fail miserably in gaining a top-notch level of confidence and experience that will catapult me to the top of the my game the second I wrap my tired fingers around my diploma? Only time will tell...
