spring break is here

this week we started putting together the footage and getting it rough enough to get some ADR done...we are planning on doing a lil bit more work on it over spring break then we are going to wrap it up when everyone gets back...should be pretty good

Editing Week

Last week our group pretty much finished the interviews and the b-roll for the documentary. We were asked if we could possibly get a interview of the co-founder, so I will be contacting her this week and maybe setting up an interview over spring break. This is not carved in stone yet.

Editing Begins

This week we will begin editing the video. Wednesday evening I will be capturing the footage as well as starting to cut it up. I am excited to see all of the footage that we got and to see it come together. I hope that the editing goes well with no major problems.

Almost Midway

So, the project is totally in focus now. We have concept down for all of the pieces we are producing, and are going to be shooting alot this week and next. It's going to be tough shooting next week, as far as tutors, due to Spring Break. I still feel confident that we can get a rough cut of this in on time, get criticisms, and make adjustments. It's good to know that Mary and M.O.M. will be available at nearly any time during the next few weeks. I am cautiously awaiting the next major f-up.

Last week I didnt have time to do anything. However in the next week, I want to do a rough cut of all our footage to see where we will be in order of time, and content. I hope to have the final cut done by this week, so we can get Kay in here as soon as possible for ADR. Im not that worried, I think we can still get done ahead of schedule.

last minute.

My internet was down so i am doing my blog right before class starts. we have conducted two interviews with mary and jill. Jill also cried during the interview. We have b-roll with the kids. Our audio team is starting to come around. Everything is good we need to get two more interviews and shoot the pictures. We are on our way to success.

Cancelled shoot

Unfortunately, I've heard from our team leader, and two people we were going to interview today could not make it. We still have ample footage for the rough cut, and will have to re-schedule the other two success stories for later. Hopefully we can get footage up on the server. Overall, I's say we're still doing well.

Crazy Week

We are recovering from film abduction still and are moving into the last phase of filming. After this week and a ton of editing, we should be good to go on a lot of the projects. We may have a few pick up shots to get completed, but we are, all in all, doing well. This week is going to be busy because we only just got our "day in the life of" child list at the end of last week (thank you so much), but we will "Make it work". In completely unrelated news, I got engaged, and it is becoming extremely difficult to care about doing school work... I will do it, I just don't really care any more. Darn senioritis!

:D

So busy

Well its been a busy week filled with band recordings and foley work for 333 so being ahead of scheudle helps. I'm ready to move forward with the project and I feel we're all going to make great projects.

A busy week

We had a busy week of shooting this week.  On Monday, we shot our interview with Mary, and as we are known to fly by the seat of our pants, we decided there on the spot to interview Jill.  Both were great interviews and I think we've got nearly all (if not all) of our a-roll.  

On Wednesday, Courtney and Zach went over to MOM to get some more b-roll.

Now comes the arduous task of editing and going through all of those articles... grumble.

Another week of shooting

My group and I are doing a much better job at communicating with each other and scheduling some productive shoots. This week we anticipate to shoot the bulk of our project. Mainly the life of the tutor segment should be interesting, when follow the tutors around to get a feel of their lives at moms

Time Is Running Out....

I am beginning to feel the pressure. Our deadline is fast approaching, and I feel like we are making progress but not enough to really get this done as best we can. Last week we were very productive, I feel we got a lot of shooting done and made some solid progress. However, I don't think our rough cuts are going to be near as polished as I would have liked them to have been. But I do have a good feeling that this might work out in the end. I can't say I could have said that last week.

Waiting for tomorrow

This week I did not really hear anything about what is going on with the video. I was sick for most of the week, so I hope I did not miss anything important. I guess I am just waiting for tomorrow to see what we need to do next... I am ready to begin finishing the rough cut.

B-roll completed

Well last week our group finished up the B-roll of the children interacting with the tutors and also the teachers. Again we tried to bring an audio team with us but again they didn't check the discussion board where we had posted a couple days ahead.

We only need to get about two more interviews then we can begin the editing a post sound work.

Wrapping Up

We're shooting our final interviews on Monday morning. post should start this week as well. We have a lot of footage to thumb through, so I think we may break it up into sections. We'll see how everything looks this week.

Week 8

This past week we got two interviews done. I think they went very well and we got a lot of good stuff out of those interviews. Monday we will be shooting our last two interviews. After that we will just need to start editing and putting it all together.
