MDU R1 Video Build: Entry #2

As a matter of fact rendering is one of my most favourite parts of editing. The computer does all the work while I play GT3 or surf the web. Altho smooth cam can be quite a bitch when it comes to drifting. It works awesome for skating and people and shit. I guess drifting is too fast and it doesn't know what the hell to stabilize half the time. Sometimes it gives good results, but most of the time it makes it worse than the normal shot. It's always best (for me at least) to manually stabilize in AE, but that's a big pain. I appreciate everyone's support, which is unfortunate because I became rather akin to my somber disposition.

Tonight was a short night, but I managed to capture 50 more clips over a couple of beers between doing some cleaning. Being the procrastinator that I am, I allotted myself 15 minutes to produce a quick edit and escape from regular responsibilities. Basically just having fun with music and time with basic editing. In retrospect it kinda makes me wanna puke, but perhaps it may be acceptable to some sort of audience, somewhere, sometime. There is always the possibility of spitting out a video in one night and it still probably being accepted just as well as spending weeks on, but that's just not what I do. Well, see the 15 minute edit here:

In starting this build, I feel it will become one more for those who follow this rather than one for the video itself. I will be doing and adding things that I basically would not normally do. I myself am probably not exactly a prime example of how video production works, but hopefully can offer some insight into what goes on behind putting a video together. Maybe it will give you a better eye for this shit, or maybe a worse one. I am open to any suggestions, or inquiries, or criticisms, or hateful racial slurs, or beef jerky, or whatever over the course of this project. Just remember tho, the editor has total control of what the audience sees or doesn't see...
