This project has been in the works since the middle of April. This is the first time I didn’t work on a video non-stop, from beginning to end. It was a lot of hours, but I have no idea why it’s here a whole 2 months later. After we shot it, I predicted it would only take a week to finish.

I took 1,844 images and almost used all of them for the video. To make the photos look better than what they came out to be, I began to individually photoshop the pictures halfway through. That sucked so much that eventually I was forced to learn how to use After Effects just enough to mask out some background stuff (like sheets, and wall shadows). I watched 2-and-a-half youtube tutorials that gave me enough info on how to clean up everything. By the end I wondered how I ever did any semi-complicated video stuff without After Effects, but I was also about to throw my laptop out the window because it could hardly process so many photos and effects.

Last night at 3 a.m., I thought I reached a victorious end,  but my version of After Effects wouldn’t let me export the video in a decent format. So this video was close to not even making it out of my computer. Eventually I figured it out, but we’ll save the details for a video-nerd forum.

Now I only need to know how to get this video in non-internet quality onto DVD…
