October 7, 2012 Yeah, it’s over twenty minutes. It was ten when I finished editing, really chopping the final segment down I might add, and I decided being around twenty minutes long was allowed, even if it was technically over, especially on weeks like this, and when I spent the entire extra nine seconds explaining how I’m stopping because we’re going on too long. Am I glad tomorrow’s a federal holiday. I need the rest!
I’ll also probably be writing a blog post on Michael Weiss’ show, which I went to see yesterday, and indeed nearly made the newscast, it was only when Speedy and van der Porny showed up at the last minute that it got bumped out. So everything else that happened this week: September 3-9, 2012
Getting a good schedule here, though far from perfect: club competitions from the west may end up going uncovered due to my inability to wait for them to finish and post their results! May 14-20, 2012
Quite frankly, when I have as little footage from two nationals as I did this week, the least this damn vid should be able to do with fewer clips thus used is save without complications. But no, it would save to one format this week, and in the process I lost large parts of the voice track from the second half; I pretty much gave up on annotations during the Bolero segment and again towards the end. I actually got an iPad for Christmas with a camera built in; perhaps I shall be driven to use it not by my vids being blocked, but by the sound continually being dropped. Except I don’t know if that would even help.
Once again I had to go the long way round and mess the sound up, and this time Universal Sports claimed the copyright, but like the ISU they’re not blocking it anywhere.
