The nine stages of writing a report
2 years ago
Inspired by the endless hours I have spent writing countless reports, this is a little montage of how I work.

& I admire how you edited it with the different you's.
Music is great as well.
Love!
Also, having short hair, I don't normally wear a towel and I found it quite difficult working out how to put it on. That alone set me back half an hour!
Five sisters taught me all there is to know about wrapping towels around your head. I use a squeegee to dry my top nowadays.
Editing Time: In Public Access Cable many moons ago before NLE, they told us to expect 1 hour of editing time for every 30sec of final footage, that was with 3 studio cameras. :) The "commercials" I posted, "Ticklebot 3000", "Nothing Good for Breakfast", "Sleep Laser", "Dinner in Winter" were written and shot on the fly in the space of 2 hours. It took me about 18 hours, spaced over several nights of course, to edit all four clips and get them down to ~30sec each. It was a great exercise. I'm getting faster. My last two clips, took ~2 hours each from idea to export.
Its good to know that other people take a long time editing, and it's not just because I'm crap. Or maybe it is a little. This film is 2 minutes long and took me about 6 hours to edit!
And Dalas, that would be cool if I could do that too, but Im doing Engineering, so if they ask about Maxwell's equations and I wrote "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if I could fly AND be invisible", I might not quite get an A... Unless the examiners had also ingested something illegal!
I haven't written a report in ages but dissertation starts in about 6months I think :S
I miss Uni, I was like Van Wilder, well Van Wilder without the abs, cash and Indian manservant.
There is one stage that you missed out. The final, final stage when procrastination has you by the balls and your deadline is the next day. You have to rush the last 500 words by padding, waffling and the ingenious use of subtle plagiarism.
especially whole arm waving near the end lol
I totally dug it when I watched it the first time, and now I totally like it.
That's a small "Girl-a-day" year calendar!
what you went through!
but finally you got it?!
In every case, great video :)
=)
Nice video, it's really awesome !
and a neat story
jump cuts work really well with the right music and the right humour
and (having limited yourself to exactly the same framing, setting and character throughout) an excellent variety of content/lighting/etc
nicely done
