From Three To Five Pee Em

Work has been kind of slow since I'm waiting to go to Chicago [in about 20 minutes] to get more footage while I'm visiting some friends out there. Hoping I get more useful and diverse answers this time then in Indy [that was horrid].

Thankfully I was given another project and a second one is pending. HTMP had another workshop about scriptwriting with Andie Redwine a few weekends ago and so I've log and captured and have been putting that footage together and adding in her slides and such. The audio was painful to listen to, so much buzz and hum you could barely hear Redwine talk at times. I cleaned it up as best as I could in Soundtrack Pro [which took FOREVER it seemed] and I'm somewhat proud of the outcome figuring I've never really done audio sweetening before to any major extent.

I've realized that knowing people who know more then you in this industry is not only useful but very important. I've already contact some of my friends back from school to help out with issues with software or to bounce ideas off of them and it has proved most helpful. I know I wouldn't have been able to work through some of the Soundtrack Pro edits if I didn't have friends who knew A LOT more then I. And Jeff LeFores from work has been a great help as well [he graduated with a Media Production degree from Butler]. It's also nice to be able to talk to him about films/editing programs and he actually understands what I am talking about. Not many people know that the best time to shoot is from 3-5pm.
