Just put the finishing touches on my production binder. We show our final footage tomorrow to class tomorrow night. Everyone can't wait to see footage from the date, but I am nervous that they might be a little disapointed. I mean, the date itself was kinda boring just because it was the getting to know you time. We edited it down to showing some pre date footage, a little from the date and then some of the post date. Hopefully the date stuff won't bore the class, but we will just have to wait and see.

Shannon was right when she told me the editing lab is like a time warp, I was in there for 9 hours yesterday and didn't even realize it! CRAZY! Well, the good news is EVERYTHING is done!! YEAH! Now Steph and I just have to get together to organize our production binders. I can't believe it will all be over Wed night! This semester has gone by way fast. Anywho, now I can go concentrate on the other 200 million other things i have due this week.

What a day today has been! So I woke this morning to not being able to find one tape that had some of our footage on it. After tearing up my room, my car, and running over to my work to see if it fell out where i keep my purse, i didn't find it. So at this point a mass hysteria came over me and I had a emotional break down. It might have something to also do with the lack of sleep i have been getting. Anyways, i decided to go to the editing lab and do what I could and just pray that with fresh eyes i would find the tape later. I got to the editing lab and went to get some headphone when I noticed a tape sitting on a table, i just took a glance, not really thinking anything of it, and guess what it was: OUR LOST FOOTAGE! I started freaking out, thankfully i knew the two people in the lab so they didn't think that I was to strange. Anyways, i am currently in the lab and we are condensing all of our footage to fit on 4-6 tapes. Well, gotta go switch out tapes.

Sitting in the editing lab as we speak, and so far everything is working! It might have something to do with the fact that I had to go out and pay $170 for an external hard drive, but I don't want to talk about that! Anyways, we have captured and logged about 3 hours of tape, so we are going to call it a night soon and come back to finish getting the rest of our footage onto the hard drive. Then once we got all of that done, we have to edit the date in some way so that we can show it in class next week. That i feel is going to take forever. Oh well, gotta do what you have to do.

Sooner or later something was bound to go wrong, cause up until now we have had no problems. Steph and I went to Shannon's this morning to have a crash course on Final Cut Pro. After we left we both felt really good and we were ready to roll. We went to the editing lab and it was another story. We tried 4 different computers and each one had its own problem. Talked with Shannon about it and it looks like we have to get an external hardrive, so that should solve everything!! Now if there were only 38 hours in a day....

So, the couple finally got over to my house last night. I would have to say that this was probably the most unsuccessful interview. They didn't really seem in the mood and they were short with there answers which made it difficult to pull more from them. Oh, well, everything went to smoothly up to this point, something was bound to go wrong. Well, we are done with all of our shooting. Thursday Shannon is giving us a quick crash course on editing so we can get all of our stuff organized and together. Then it is just making sure all of our paperwork is good to go.

waiting to do our last interview......and waiting....i am nervous that they forgot. I called them this morning and they said tonight is good, then i called later in the day to pin down a time and they had forgotten, were going to dinner then would call me. I don't want to keep on bugging them, but it is getting kinda late.....
