Nearly two weeks in Canada. It feels so much longer than that.
I arrived at 10 again and he had some work for me right away. I thought I had to focus on the music videos, but instead he told me to finish the hockey tribute video he started. My job was to add fades and just let it flow nicely. It was a 20 minute video full of pictures.
I finished it quickly, but the supervisor told me to watch out with the long fades. Because of that the crossfade preview didn't run that smooth. So I had the choice to fix it or leave it.
As I don't like to keep things unfinished I chose to fix it. I made the crossfades a bit shorter and I realized that those long fades weren't even necessary.
The supervisor also wanted to include the sponsors, but one file he couldn't import as it could only be opened by adobe reader. I told him about the prt screen option and he was so happy he learned something new xD This saved him a lot of time figuring out how to get a jpg out of the adobe reader file. He had to leave so he told me to fix the sponsors and in the end I finished the full video.
I went back to the music video and boy that process takes long. I skipped so many keyframes. At this moment I am only at 2 seconds editing while the clip is 10 seconds long =(
Luckily I could take a break by watching the supervisor recording a commercial for mothersday! I had to sit at his desk, grab the headphones so I could listen to him recording it.
He did a great job, so energetic and also so fast! I told him I hoped to do this one day and he said I would. So hopefully in the future I can also try this out =D
He then showed me the editing process. I learned that he recorded it in mono and later made it stereo. He added two tracks (with reverb) together to give it a fuller sound. He added appropriate music and also sound effects to go with it (based on the words he said). For the voice files he used a sort of maximizer tool and when he had everything mixed he added the maximizer tool again and an equalizer.
Soon after that I could go home as he had to go to people. Tomorrow I will go to the studio again at 12 pm to record a band! This will be a busy weekend as sunday I will have to prepare for my leave: packing suitcase, getting gas, buying some things and loading in my car etc.
