Gather round, SINNERS, cuz I put off 4 weeks worth of editing until just now, 2 AM on a Saturday morning, little more than 24 hours before the next Cwarantine Series, not realizing that this assignment required me to watch hours of footage and make actual (1/who the fuck knows)
choices, so you better believe that I'll be live tweeting my experience with this bullshit here on my only twitter account that my parents don't know about and can't see. The good news is that all the footage is of animals and shit, so get hyped (2/this is gonna go all night)
1 minute in and I've already been baited as there is one shot of a beetle emerging from the sand. I hate bugs.(3/I hate my life)
Yo what the fuck, all this footage is watermarked. My professor really out here just pirating our education. (4/is this a crime?)
Kitty. (5/kitty.)
It's occurring to me now that I don't actually know how long I'm supposed to make this project. In fact, the only parameter of this assignment I can remember is "Make a montage." And yet my parents have insisted for years that I didn't inherit my mom's ADHD (6/funny parentheses)
THERE'S THREE DIFFERENT SHOTS IN THIS CLIP. My professor really just gave us some footage that was already edited. This is madness. (7/I'm out of funny things to put here)
Kitty.
This one clip is labelled "just sitting" and I have to agree, the kitty is just sittin
It's becoming increasingly clear to me that this man just took an already existing montage, cut all the individual shots up, and gave them to us to re-edit. There's dissolves still in here. What am I learning from this?
I now know that snakes and sand are a cursed combination.
This music is some advanced level of vaguely tribal yet futuristic synth wave that we as a society were supposed to have moved on from after Africa by Toto dropped. This is what the Papyrus font sounds like.
He gave us the same song twice...
Why are there 6 wind sound effects? I know you won't know the difference, Gaucher.
Song #2 was "intense" and by that I mean they might've played it in a more serious scene in a made for TV kids fantasy movie. Up next more shitty wind sound effects.
Sound effect reviews: The thunder sounds like someone sneezing 2 miles away through a 10 foot aluminum wall. The Hawk Caw, on the other hand, Fucks.
Update: There is exactly 1 thunder sound that is pretty dope, straight up felt like the "damn...that shit was bright-" tiktok hearing that.
Yes I did just waste 2 hours not doing any edits. Don't judge me.
So apparently there's narration? Do I have to use those? I sure don't want to.
Guess who finally read the assignment and has spent the last 4 hours looking at the wrong footage? I'm not deleting this thread, it will stand as a monument to my failures in life.
