lierdumoaSo I came down with something day before yesterday. I'm sure drinking strong coffee and pulling an all-nighter working on the Gia vid didn't help. I got really nauseous in the shower (but thankfully didn't throw up), then after running up and down five flights of stairs to get to the laundry room and back, my heartrate sped way up (I'm sure the strong coffee wasn't helping there) and I ended up lying next to the open window in my room trying to cool off so I wouldn't pass out. Luckily it was, like, 53* F outside so the cooling off didn't take long.
I got 37 seconds done. Seven or eight hours spent at the computer between 1:00 and 10:00am. I figured out how to deal with the mixed source. There's a combination of regular footage, regular footage that I upped the brightness/contrast on, regular footage that I upped the b/c on and color tweaked to look slightly fuchsia, and black and white footage. The transitional periods in the song are marked by either fade-to-white's or fade-to-fuchsia's. Beyond the color tweaking, there really aren't any effects except the occasional faux camera flash. There's a ton of jump-cutting, no crossfades of any kind, and the average clip is about half a second long.
I keep feeling like I'm cutting too fast. My cuts seem shorter than they are because I'm used to editing at 29.976 fps, not 24fps.
It doesn't really look like any vid I've seen before, and I'm having a hard time judging whether that's good or not. I guess I'm more creative when sleep deprived. Anyway, the people at the vidparty yesterday seemed to like it, so I'm not too worried.
It wouldn't play in the DVD player (the DVD player we had played most AVI's, apparently -- just not the particular encode I used), so we had to play it on the computer monitor. I wanted to see what the colors looked like on tv because I only have my computer monitor when I'm vidding and it's not the best judge. Did I mention the fuchsia?
I'm really excited for VividCon now that I've previewed a few of the Premiere vids. Not that I wasn't already excited before. Eeeee! It's gonna be so good! Eeeeeeeee!
I got some vitamins from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
permetaform after we got back from the vidparty, then slept ten hours. My nose was stuffy when I woke up, but it's pretty clear now. I think I'm going to spend the day just drinking lots of water/caffeine-free tea and relaxing. And maybe vid a little. Or poke at my fic WIP's.
