video project #2
Mar. 25th, 2008 10:27 pmThis video project (the 2nd for this class) has been totally kicking my ass. Its due tomorrow so of course today was major work day. And it's just been...ugh...so insanely stressful and I'm so tired and I don't want to work on it anymore. But I have to.
Its a group project so most of the problem was us not finding good times to meet up to do the work. And there were several times of us being like "yeah, thats a good time" and then I go...and I'm the only one that shows up and can't even do anything 'cause I don't have the camera or harddrive for the project. I've wasted quite a bit of time waiting for no one too.
And it almost ruined my weekend due to me being so stressed out about whether we could get it done or not as I had talked to our subject on Friday and I was all "oh good, we can get awesome footage on Sat morning!" as he told me where he'd be and what he was doing. And...aparantly the other two didn't realize we were doing anything (despite all the e-mails I sent, which one never responded to x_x;;). Then on Sunday I worked in the costume shop and managed to find one of them and finally figure out times.
Then there's today. So since there wasn't any classes today, we decided yesterday to try to get the footage we really need and had arranged with our subject for him to come into work early just for us so we could get the shots we need. Well...so I get up much earlier than I would've liked to for this. I get there...no one is there! I get the equipment...wait...no one. I can't do anything without the camera. I start freaking out 'cause we're totally wasting his time, run around the place trying to get in contact, eventually manage to call them...and the girl with the camera was woken up by my call. She wasn't up yet! And the other girl I guess thought we were meeting later or something as she showed up after that, an hour after the time we said we'd meet. -_-;;; So I felt soooo bad for the guy but he still seemed in good spirits for us.
But yeah, after that, I basically spent the entire day editing the project. And we're not done yet. Just taking a break since all of us had something to go to in the range of 7:30/8-9/10ish. But I really don't know if I'll be much help now as my brain usually stops working (for school related things) around 11 and we probably won't be starting until then. *sigh*
I'm so ready for this stupid project to be done (and hopefully in time). Though then I gotta start panicking about the final project....argh. At least that one is a solo project so I don't have to worry about relying on anyone this time.
