The Stress of Editing

Where did time go? I can't believe there is less than a week left until we have to submit everything! Isa and I are currently in the process of editing and we have encountered some stressful situations. First of all the lighting is so inconsistent it's driving us crazy. The day of the music video we used the stage light for the lighting effect we wanted, we kept them the same throughout the shoot, but the videos show otherwise. At some parts of the video the lighting is blue, which is what we want, but then in another part of the same video it changes to yellow. This is something we definitely did not plan for so we are trying to change the saturation to make them all look similar. 

Also, I think Isa and I underestimated how hard it was going to be to match the words and the mouthing. During the shoot we had the song playing, however, some parts Em is signing faster than the track. Because of the timing and getting everything coordinated it has been hard to make the cuts flow. Since we need the mouthing to go with the words we can't just cut the part we don't like because then the words don't match up. We are currently trying to figure out a solution, most likely we will have to place dance inserts, but we will see.

It's not all bad though... we have the finished cover for the digipack! We are almost done putting it together since we were just waiting on that. As for the website we have everything, but we just have to finish putting everything together. Isa is going to edit some of the pictures while I create some merchandise and then we should be about done with the website.

Although it is a stressful time right now I am really excited with the way things are turning out. I can't wait for you all to see it!
