This Week in Figure Skating, October 24-30, 2011

I actually started this one Sunday, in hope I might figure out some way to get most of the work for these done on the weekends since I may  not that long from now find myself working full time.  I haven’t yet, but at least this one got uploaded early enough I was willing to risk  using some recap footage from this week’s Battle of the Blades, though after seeing the performances blocked this morning I wasn’t using footage from they themselves.  Thankfully it wasn’t blocked.  It’s not annotated yet; that’ll be done after Dancing With the Stars. ETA: Finished the annotations, discovered in the process I forgot the last two titles.  Well, it wasn’t like they were completely necessary…

Worse and worse.  This one had my video converter failing on me, my MovieMaker declaring there wasn’t enough memory and refusing to save even the project file, I didn’t get an uploadable file until it was well past midnight(though I started over two hours earlier, and only discovered this morning half an hour more and I would have had footage from Battle of the Blades Sunday night), and to top it off while annotating it this morning I discovered there were two huge stretches where the sound shorted out, and with so many results displayed annotations are harder; in the regionals section I’m afraid I just gave up; that’s just going to be scores without commentary.  I don’t know how much more of this I can bear.

I actually had a doctor’s appointment yesterday, which meant I didn’t finish the video until very late at night. In fact, I haven’t even done the annotations yet; that should be done after I post this. ETA: Annotations done.

Assuming I don’t collapse while posting this…

It seems this is continually thinking up ways to plague me; this week after I’d labored a record ten hours on it, the video of course refused to save normally, and this time the sound merely didn’t get garbled; it outright dropped a couple of times! And coming up this week is the first regional results(I originally included a couple short program results this week, but there simply wasn’t room for them). I was way too tired to post this last night, so posting it now instead:

Maybe I am pushing it too far. It took me way too long to edit this one, and I think all the clips and titles is what’s keeping them from saving normally, meaning the long way around and sound difficulties. Annotations may or may not appear before tomorrow morning. ETA: Annotations now up.

Once again the video initially failed to convert, and when I had decided to risk using footage from last night’s Battle of the Blades premiere, and another Yu-Na Kim vid while I was at it. But at least neither got the video blocked, and I can do tags for this during the commercial breaks for Dancing With the Stars.
