Action...CUT!!!

The title of this blogpost is inspired by an "outtake" of our videoproject. I just gave Thomas the signal to start acting and only a few seconds later he stopped the shooting through yelling CUT!!!

Today we invited LeighAnn to Nathis kitchen. We had lunch together and then started working. We discussed which scenes we liked most and will use in the final video. We also had lots of fun watching the outtakes. Everybody made making-of-pictures which are also quite nice. 

We had some difficulties with recording the narrative. LeighAnn brought a headset and we took care that had a silent room for the record. The software first didnt accepted the microphone but after some changes in the settings Thomas made it and we could record the sentences for the intro of our video. LeighAnn spoke them. She has the best english for sure and its also good to have one with english as first language in your team which can do the corrections. 

When I think of all the troubles we had in the beginning of our project, the more do I enjoy our work now. It is very creative and we now work great as team. 

After LeighAnn had to go to pick up her kids from the daycare we continued for a while looking for some music that could fit to our video and we also had a look on the graphics we want to use. 

Tomorrow we'll have a presentation and we also fixed the things we wanted to include in our projectpresentation to our professor. Nina and Nathi wrote all things down in a googledocs and I did a first cut of the video with some music. Thomas really helped me with the music selection. 

While writing this post Adobe Premiere is still running and I hope this time there won't be any mistakes in the video. It takes a lot of time to render the frames. I really need a new computer. Its so crappy. You have such a nice camera and has to work with so awful software which is far to old for your technical equippement and no longer state-of-the-art.

Hope that the others will like the preview of the introduction scene :)
