Done and Dusted!

The first draft of the Holmes vid is DONE!


Last night went something like this:

Me: Damn. I've got 7 seconds that I just can't find footage for.
Sweetie: ::non-verbal equivalent of "That's nice dear."::
(twenty minutes later)
Me: I'm done!
Sweetie: Done? You mean you're done that 7 seconds.
Me: No, I'm done the vid.
Sweetie: The vid!? O_O

He had reason to be skeptical. It's been years since I've finished a vid this quickly. (What can I say? Holmes and Watson are...inspiring.)

Now I'm just waiting for beta comments before I tweak the colour and add an effect or two.

It's a thing of joy and beauty. *g* Oooh colour tweaking. Do you mean overall or the other idea you had?

You are too kind. *g*

I'm going to try the idea I mentioned. But I also want to try and lighten up all those bloody dark shots so they're a bit more legible.

It's done!

The colour correcting worked. The sepia idea never quite did. But I have a complete, tweaked, and encoded version.

Which unfortunately is going to have to wait until tomorrow for uploading and posting, for now I must collapse in a heap. (Getting up at 6 to hit the big farmer's market seemed like such a good idea this morning.)

In your own time petal. It's just exciting how fast it came together. ♥

6:00am for the Farmer's Market eh? How very industrious of you. I'm thinking 11:00am for brunch tomorrow. *g*

It was a stupidly busy day:

6:00am: Get up for farmer's market
9:00am: Ballet lessons for Ros
10:45am: Mandarin lessons for whole family
Early Afternoon: Massive housework whilst Ros naps
3:30pm: Play date with friend of Ros (and reason for massive housework)
6:00pm: Skating, which ended with me getting pulled down to ice by Ros and leading with my cheekbone; was rescued by rink guards
7:00pm: Dinner out with another friend of Ros and her family

It's no bleeding wonder I'm ready to drop.

11:00am for brunch sounds eminently civilized.

I'm tired just from reading your list. Egads woman!

Yes, 11:00am brunch in which I'll skip the Buck's Fizz and the Bloody Marys and go straight to the blood orange margaritas. Well, someone has to do it. *g*

Hope the margaritas came through for you.

Me, I'm just waiting to see if YouTube puts the audio back up on the vid. (Stupid copyright disputes.) Now that it's done, I JUST WANT TO POST THE VID!

Well brunch and margaritas turned in to dinner and margaritas instead but it's all good. *g*

Oooh *crosses fingers*

Looking forward to it.
