Okay, so my problems have been solved! No, I haven’t gotten a life…but I have a brand-spanking new MacBook Pro, courtesy of my grandma…the silent partner of NGS Media. Okay, well it’s not so silent anymore since I spread it all over the internet…but yes, my grandma saved the day. After my PC went kaput last week, I was slightly irritated. I had all these things to do and didn’t quite know how I was going to get them done. Now I can do all that…and more.
I took to editing a video for the Simple Glam Girls calendar release party next week. We had shot about an hour or so of footage from our shoot a couple weeks ago..and needless to say, I cut, transitioned, and edited everything in about 30 minutes. I took an hour of video down to about 6 minutes. Granted, I was using iMovie…and I’m used to more complex editors…but I have to tell you, for a simple movie with one video source, iMovie is definitely the way to go. I have never clipped video that fast before in my life. And this computer not only clips, but renders as I go…and it renders faster than I can blink my eyes. Well, that’s a slight exaggeration…but it’s pretty damn fast. I am seriously still amazed that I was able to procrastinate and get this video edited in the time it takes to watch a sitcom. Ridiculous.
I will be getting the CS3 production suite on this machine too and my life will be even sweeter. I can’t wait!
So yeah, definitely good news to blog about. I also have some fun shoots planned, so stay tuned! I headed out to Hooters tonight and hung out with Emilie, who is only one of the coolest chicks in the world. She was definitely rockin’ the orange shorts tonight! But we’ve got some schemes in the works, so that’ll be fun. Saw Stevie too…and it’s pretty much awesome every time I see her too. And the fried pickles were divine.
Hope everyone is staying cool! Summer is actually winding down…and it’s sad to see it go.
I can’t believe you went to see the Hooters girls instead of coming to my party last night! you suck, and you missed a good time.
