end of second year

It's the end of my second year. I didn't get to finish my film in time, and I'm beating myself up for that. You know what I really can't stand? When people try to be polite by saying "It's so good!" or "It looks finished to me". I don't know. I guess I'm just used to Filmie people. One of the requirements for the assignment was grading in Da Vinci Resolve. Every time I imported my film into the software, something would go wrong. I must have spent like a day and a half just trying to get Da Vinci to what it was supposed to do. Clips would be in the wrong place at at the wrong part of the raw footage. Say I had a clip called Audi, a clip called Cheeseburger, and a clip called Grafield, sitting in that order in Premiere. When I imported the footage into Da Vinci, it would do it's weird voodoo shit so it's order would end up being "Cheeseburger - Audi - Grafield". Not only that, but it would be the wrong parts of the clips, so it would actually end up like "CAMERA SPEED, SOUND SPEED che -  hey, have I got the infliction on the correct words in this sentence? And the laugh, are you happy with that? I can try another... *several more conversations later* alright should we get rolling? Time's a ticking... - afield.. CUT. Sweet guys that was awesome! But hmmm I think we shall go for another take, just for sound, yeap.". It's frikken annoying. I got some of the other Filmies from various years to see what they could do but they couldn't figure it out either. Bother bother. I eventually gave up, after spending so much time I realised that it had actually cut into edit time for the other elements of my film. I didn't get to finish the special effects in my film. I didn't even get time for the sound edit. Film was due at 1, and I was still working on it at 12:30, dedicating that last 30 minutes to render, export, and submit. It was in there with 10 minutes to go. I'm so gutted that I didn't get to do everything that was required. But what can you do. I'm going to pick it back up later on at some point, just as a project of my own. If only that one was the one being marked and not the one I had to submit.

Flicks was great. It's pretty neat seeing the animations and films that people have been creating. Congrats to Dan who's film was chosen out of my class, and Virat's.
