Adventures in movie-making...

We only have one week of classes left, and then finals! I can't believe how fast this semester has flown by!

This week, in the class that Brad and I have together, we had to finish up our huge semester project (aka start on it!). It was the one where we had to interview a vet. So, we got to the library at 4 on Monday to 'rip' the three mini-dvds onto the computer, edit and put them together into one movie, and then 'burn' the movie onto three dvds. We were pretty naive as to how long it would all take, thinking it'd only be a few hours and then we'd go home and eat dinner. Boy were we wrong!! We were there til midnight and the first dvd wasn't done burning! Thankfully, they let us leave the computer on all night long so it'd finish burning, and I got there at 7 in the morning and got the dvd, then burned the next two. We were there for a total of 10 hours within a 18 hour period!! Then I made the powerpoint for our presentation and Brad worked on pulling clips out of it for our presentation... he was in the library all Wednesday night and Thursday morning working on it!! We got it all finished up, though, and gave our presentation yesterday afternoon. It all turned out great, and now it's all over! At least we have a little bit more knowledge on movie-making now!

Sorry we don't have any pics... if I remember hopefully we'll get some good pics from this weekend with Johnie and Dee down here!

  1. Yeah, movie making takes forever(hence the reason no wedding dvd yet) I would love to see your project video... did you get to keep a copy?
