California Road Trip

It’s been five months since our road trip and I finally have the video completed. It took longer than I had planned. I decided to try iMovie to cut the whole thing together and ran into some complications when I upgraded to Snow Leopard before finishing the video. I thought I lost everything I’d done, but turned out I had to update all my thumbnails in iPhoto and iMovie. I think I’ll stick with Premiere from now on.

By the time I’ve published these videos, I’ve probably viewed them a few dozen times during the editing process that I’m so ready to post it and be done with it. I can’t watch it again until much much later when I’ve sort of forgotten parts of it that I can almost see it like the first time. These videos are an aid for my memory and though it doesn’t capture every single moment, at least it captures the essence of my experiences.

It’s fun putting them together and I still have a few more that I haven’t done yet. The hardest part is finding the music. Sometimes I think it would be so much easier to make your own music (if I only had the musical talent.)
