Esther Productions - a portfolio of an aspiring video editor and film producer
First 60 second project of the year... what could go wrong? A lot. A lot can go wrong. Every semester we do the same beginning project, a 60 second video, and for my project this year Ms. Davidson asked me to create a video about what is available in the studio for teachers and staff in our school. In theory it was not a hard project but for whatever reason I just couldn't get the video to come together. You would think after doing the same project it would be so much easier the third time. It's not. Whoever told me Microwave minutes were the longest minutes lied. It's so difficult to create a video exactly 60 seconds long. You always run into the trouble of having too much or too little b-roll. Then if you have a voiceover like what I did with my video that adds a whole new level of complications. In my case I had so much information to fit and it had to sync up to the visuals that I had to pace my script in a certain way or else it won't make sense. The most frustrating thing about this project was the fact that my computer crashed every 20 minutes and give me a heart attack. I know Final Cut Pro is supposed to save automatically but after working on a video for so long you have a fear of all your hard work being a waste. The pop up whenever the program was about to crash would say "disk full" but I have no idea how I'm going to fix that considering I got this computer two months ago and there should be a lot more storage left. Hopefully I'll be able to figure out all my tech issues by October when I have to edit a video for Ladue View. I think my video turned out great considering the amount of problems I ran into but I think there is still improvement to be made. I'm excited for the video to be sent out to the teachers and staff in our school and hopefully they will like it!
