My final video cut is ready!!!!!
I had so much fun making this video even though there were a lot of technical difficulties. I learned a new video editing software, and I know it was very unnecessary but I loved learning how to use the scary beast that is DaVinci Resolve. I also got to
After my rough-cut viewing party, I went to work adding all the feedback I received. I changed the fonts to make them more legible because, even though they looked cool, no one knew what was happening. I shortened the intro text on the screen and added narration so that anyone who hasn’t been staring at it for hours and memorized it (just me) can also know what’s happening. I also made some general changes so that the theme of the video was more obvious. I moved the interviewee’s name under the actual person being interviewed and fixed the timing of the font changes so that it’s clear that Oli’s part was an “accident.”
A major obstacle I had to tackle (among the many others) was the weird audio. We had originally recorded it with an audio kit. But my quick check failed to notice the loud buzzing noise that somehow materialized in the quiet podcast studio that we couldn’t hear recorded anywhere else. Luckily I was already using the most overly complex editing software already! While I hadn’t managed to fix it before the rough cut was watched, the audio is now (hopefully) fixed and very easy to listen to.
I also feel the need to say that I did not script the interview responses. They are just truly talented actors, give them their Oscars.
