Week Five at NP - Thursday

Hello, this post is for last Thursday, July 2nd. I hope you all had an enjoyable Independence Day holiday weekend!

Thursday was a pretty slow day. It was just Mike and I at the studio. I finished transcribing the remaining ten minutes of the interview with the founder of the non-profit organization. We now have an entire transcript of his words, so we can look through and choose which sections we might want to use in the video. I had automatically noted the time code of any portion I thought might be useful (Sarah did as well), which will save a lot of time in post-production.

As of this writing, we haven't heard anything official from our contact person at the organization about the other people we wanted for future interviews. To save time, we might shoot some B-roll this week. I'm sure I speak for the other interns as well when I say we hope to get at least something more filmed this week so we don't get behind. We would like to have four solid weeks of post-production if we can manage it, and that is our current schedule. I start Week Six tomorrow, so we'll all talk about that then.

For the rest of the day, Mike and I discussed some post-production plans and we went around to the other offices to assist anyone who needed help. I also got to see the bishop ceremony footage Greg, Mike (equipment-Mike), and I shot the previous Saturday in Avid and on a HD television. Greg had done some edits between our 3 angles, and it looked incredible. The sound was also better than we had expected. I was really happy with all of our footage. Greg said that I would receive full-credit and come away from the internship with a solid sample of my work. He plans on posting some samples on YouTube too, so as soon as I have a link to one, I'll embed it here on the blog.

Here's to Week Six!
