Production Blog: Editing

Image
 As the editing guru of our group, it was up to me to piece together all the footage we captured into a cinematic masterpiece. Considering my experience as the editor for our previous project, everyone agreed that I was the right person for the job. Plus, I've picked up a bunch of new editing tricks along the way, so I was pumped to put them to good use. Since I have the beefiest computer in the group, we initially planned to gather at my place for the editing session. But then we had a lightbulb moment – why not have a virtual meeting instead? So, we huddled up over a phone call, which gave us all more flexibility. Our first task was settling on the editing software. After some back and forth, we settled on Cap-cut – it seemed like the best fit for our needs. Then, it was game time. I dove into editing while the rest of the crew chimed in with their suggestions and tweaks along the way. We spent ages perfecting the transitions between scenes – seriously, it felt like we were in tr...

My Introduction, Again!

Image
My name is Blake Dashnaw, and I live in an apartment with my father and dog. My father initially introduced me to technology pretty early; when I was eight I got my first I pad. Soon enough the time came to where my father taught me how to build computers and one of my own, and that allowed me to perceive the depths of the video filming and editing world.

Production Blog: Compiling Our Scenes

Image
Today marked the climax of our editing odyssey! Before putting the finishing touches on our project, we decided to capture some extra scenes just as a safety net. It was a thrilling opportunity to venture beyond our usual filming spots and add some fresh elements to our story. Opting for my mom's spacious van for the car scenes turned out to be a brilliant move. Its generous space accommodated all our equipment and crew with ease. Filming inside the van was an absolute riot! We couldn't resist goofing around and having a blast while getting those last shots. After wrapping up our filming session, we treated ourselves to a leisurely lunch break to refuel before diving back into our editing tasks. The afternoon flew by as we polished off the remaining shots in just an hour. With some daylight left, we indulged in some relaxing fishing, taking advantage of the serene waters as the perfect backdrop for additional footage. As the sun dipped below the horizon, we wrapped up filming, ...
