Last week I finished up the video with out the music added.

Had critique this week and things I need to work on:
  -changing earth to the abstract earth from the tarot card
  -tighten up clips in final cut
  -changing puppet tool on the crows wing at the beginning section
  -change order of cards being laid down-- (world card first, then fool, then crow)
  - Get rid of smoke coming off in lightning scene

I plan on working over the weekend on cleaning everything up for the final defense at 11:20AM Wed dec 5th.

This week I worked on reshooting the shots that I needed and continued editing.
Here is some of the footage for the end of the video piece......

I want to finish the video portion by the end of the week/ beginning of next and then next week I want to work on sound.   The goal is to have a finished product in time for group meetings on Mon. the 26th.

Roughly Edited Video

Here is the ROUGH edit of the video.  I needed this so I could visualize the entire piece and know which areas are going to take me the most time for me to work on.

Through this process I have recognized the areas that I need some major reshooting. 1- Intro tarot cards 2- More dead atmosphere shots 3- End shots of city are my key reshooting shots right now.

Its good to get full renders of this video every now and then because it seems different to me each time I view it as a whole and I can see more adjustments that need made.  While editing this one there were spots that the video jerked and made a cool effect but did not render out that way so now I need to go back and try to recreate that.  Also something happened to to first 30 seconds or so in the beginning so i need to find that.

Progress this week

completed a rough edit of the first page of the storyboard.
Taking longer and longer to render out examples so now I am holding off on rendering every class.

GOALS: I want to work on completing a rough edit of the whole video by the end of the week.
NEXT week I want to continue refining the effects and making them look better
2 WEEKS: I want to have a finished product to be critiqued so I can make proper adjustments before the end of the semester.
