Also of great excitment to me was the discovery of a couple of pictures of Maj. Pleasant White! I literally went quite bonkers when I found them...so now I have five more images to order from the Florida Archives.
I have spent the majority of the week with my video-editor hat on...and I thought you might enjoy a few pictures of the process. :) I am really very pleased with how smoothly things have been flowing along for me the last couple of days. Today I worked through nine AE comps (only three were actually completed fully; however, I haven't rendered them yet). I also got seven more interview clips in the timeline!

I have spent a good portion of the last two days busily working on AE comps. While I have only been able to render two of the ten, (due mainly to the lack of certain images--shortly to be purchased from the Florida Archives), I am still nevertheless pleased with my progress. My head is into it and plain and simple, everything is flowing. I also got another interview clip in the timeline. Hank Hendry is hard to trim because he strings his sentences together so closely. I've also been in correspondence regarding music with a particular musical friend of mine...there are no promises either way, but we both agree that this is something we'd like to happen. Until next time! RachealI have not forgotten my project...but I sure have been mighty slow about actually working on it. The Cow Cavalry goes through stages where it lies dormant, and then I spend all day working on it for a day, and then it goes back to sleep again. (I got two compositions completed yesterday.) Come early November, I intend on setting myself a schedule and trying to stick to it. If I set myself an attainable goal (say four AE comps a week), I may actually make some serious progress over the winter. I started yet another list of possible tunes for the soundtrack yesterday...but I'm only completely, locked-in positive on one of them, which would be Dixie. There are still a few V/O's I don't have in yet, which really is no rush since my narrator isn't finished yet either. What work I have been doing (timing compositions-wise) has all been done with my mock-up version of the narration. This means, naturally, that I will have to re-time and tweak them, so I have left the compositions rather rough, not matching them perfectly to my own voice. I hope to be able to report some good progress in my next post... Racheal |
