Today was decompress day for everyone involved no doubt.. The push push push feeling being replaced with a little less stress as well.. Yesterday morning I played the video onto the dvd recorder and set it up, the first little bit of the project.. I messed with it a little on the computer but didn't get any true idea what to do with it.. Then last night after getting back from the wedding I loaded to the computer all the video files and stills.. Total amount of space taken 8.92GB translating into just under three hours of video.. I set up the deck again to put to dvd that that was recorded yesterday.. Mom came in to watch the video as it was playing and told me she didn't see most of the wedding yesterday because she was keeping Ian occupied.. I wasn't sure how happy I would be with the video, the quality.. Although shot in the highest resolution possible I was sure it wouldn't be very good.. The reception part was some disappointment because as the wedding party walked in the battery wore out.. So a quick change gave me the ability to get the bride and groom .. Which was very important.. And the rest of the night went off without a problem. However there were a few times the camera went out of focus, the lighting was very dark and the camera was struggling at times to get the right setting.. For not knowing how it was supposed to be I thought everything worked out quite well..
The disc that was burned in the recorder will have every bit of everything that I video taped, no editing was done.. For the computer and the video I will edit down to what I call the final cut of the wedding, in the four parts presented, four chapters if you will; 1: Rehearsal 2: Picture (photo session) 3: the wedding itself 4 : The reception.. Right now there are several scenes that will be edited down with others being dropped completely in the rehearsal because they were shot as test shots..
Now the time frame for completing this project: With a little luck I am hoping to get it completed by Labor day.. But with things that have just popped up I figure it could be November or as late as December before the project is done.. Also I have a tendency to derail one project in favor of another.. Priority as this might be sometimes I see something else that looks cool to do. And also in the middle of the "battle" as it were I like to take a step back and let the project "breathe" a little.. Not let it consume me and yet other times I like to get on a role and stay up until I get it done and if that means two in the morning then that is what it means.. Gonna try a little now, start at the beginning and go through sequence to the end. And now the fun begin..
