Exporting

Today we had our lecture on exporting. Me and partner were actually the only ones ready to export, This just shows how far behind all the other groups are. But me and my partner are now ready to plan and prepare for our presentation after hand in.

I found the guy who taught us the exporting made it a lot more complicated then what it was, but we learnt lots of technical terms. We had some difficulties with the exporting because the quality of the export was very low, as we cant burn a HD movie. But we had to use a compressor program which solved our problems, but its not as good quality as it look like on final cut pro, but it is good enough, as there is nothing else we can do. Now

LET THE BURNING OF DVD’S BEGIN!!!

Final Promo

Check it out!!! i am so please with it!!! and the editing process is finally over!!!!

Finishing touches


I just looked over the whole film, and I found a section that I felt was missing a graphic so I added a bouncing ball. These last little editing touches really will make a difference to the promo as they will help it flow better and be more interesting to the viewer as this promo as to be the opposite of boring and really entertain the viewer.

Last day of Editing

Wow, we finished the edit yesterday. Can't believe i finally did after three weeks straight of being in that computer room from 9-5pm. I did the credits at the end, including the funny clips which i think help create the mood of our film, as it also shows how much fun we had making it and how much we enjoyed it. I first had trouble accessing how to do the credits, but soon learnt, and was actually quick after playing around with it.

I added some last editing touches, like some more lightening which my partner suggested, and i added another gingerbread graphic at the beginning.

I cant believe we have finished, as it will be weird not editing anymore, as it had taken over my life in a way. But in a good way as i have really enjoyed it so so much.

Today i will double look over the edit carefully incase their is anything else i want to do. As tomorrow i will be burning them on the dvd' s.

Press Release


As i have been editing the promo, my partner kis has done the press release. I really like it, and as its in the shape of a gingerbread man it goes with our theme and humour so well.

i will go to the printers this evening to get them printed on card, to look more professional.

Final stages of editing






Today, i have done so many more graphics, which was the plan. All the editing i done:
-I sorted out a flash frame i noticed, which is hardly recognisable. But makes the edit more sharp.
-I did a trolly with gingerbread man inside, birds flying, extra parrot, a doll, repeated dancers, rain and cloud, sun, finger poking, a cat on a bike, snail coming out of a bum, car, ball bouncing, footprints, umbrellas coming out the afro's, lightening at end spinning. (All these graphics help add to the humour)
-I did more gingerbread men graphics throughout as well to add to the theme we have of the promo.

I did want to take a small chunk out, but it was only 5 seconds so though it was not worth ruining the track.

I will watch over this current edit this evening with a fresher mind, as at the moment been working on it all day and cant think where else i want graphics. You see i want as many graphics i can manage doing. THE MORE THE BETTER!
