Editing! (Day 2)

 Time to get back to editing!

The first thing I tried to do today was export the Davinci Resolve project to my computer, but I had issues with syncing the individual video files, so I'm stuck with editing on my laptop. It's not that big of a deal, but it would be a bit faster with processing the clips and prerendering them, saving me a little bit of time. Anyways...

I'm trying to line up most of the shots to the audio. There were some shots that this wasn't possible for a long time, because I didn't have Jack play to the song, so those had to be put in the "if nothing else...then this" folder. But I had Jack listen to the song with one Airpod in, so he could time himself to the beat of Flower, so it was pretty easy to line up the shots. Even more easier considering those multicam clips I made on the last day I was editing. There's a really good benefit to having Jack be synced to the audio. I can select a section from a clip that has a really good angle at the end of the song, and use that shot in the beginning. 

Live update chat! School is cancelled tomorrow because of some water issues, so I have more time to edit! Yippie! Back to scheduled programing now...

My big goal is to have each shot be quick, nothing longer than 5ish seconds unless if it has some movement/effect. This makes the music video more energetic, which is needed to keep the audience's attention because performance videos can get stale quick.

I implemented the editing technique from my Visual Nuggets blog post (woah! another callback!?). I actually slowed down one clip so the effect would slowly become more present over time. Check it out!
