Week 16 April 24 - April 30

April 24 - Editing - 10hrs
Zoe and I decided to get as much done today. We cut down all the interviews and in the process realized a lot of the lower thirds had typos. This really slowed down our progress along with certain interview subjects being under the influence. Someone in Zack Bailey's interview was drinking beer so we had to pan and scan in order to take him out of the frame. Another time we had to pan and scan was during Ora and Tyesha's interview at the afterparty. While I was booming I was unaware that I was casting a shadow on Tyesha's face while trying to get Ora on mic. This is the price I had to pay for trying to get the best possible sound possible. Next time, some lav mics would be more effective, if the environment was not as loud. I think Interviews at the afterparty are doable as long as they arrange with the after party coordinator to make sure there will be an area that will not only have enough light, but sound good enough with mics.

April 25 - Editing - 4hrs
Zoe and I continued editing and would have completed it had a producing class not entered the editing lab. We narrowed down the keynote panel's answers in order to make the interviews appear to run more smoothly. We also included some title cards which could be used to help transition between questions, which also makes it less confusing because they are now answering questions.

April 26 - Exporting Interviews - 3hrs
Zoe and I completed the interviews today. The last thing we did was add room tone to the interviews with the Visionary Panel, and audio transitions to the interviews at the after party. The rest of the time was spent exporting the videos.

May 1 - Upload Interviews to Vimeo - 2hrs
Today I uploaded the videos to vimeo. I don't know what else I can say about that.
