(25) Production and General Progress

Folks, the day has finally arrived! 

Today I finally got the chance to begin on getting some shots in and producing! >:D It's been a long time coming so I'm very relieved. Today I was able to get around 2 minutes of footage (which I'm estimating is around 1:30 minutes of usable footage). Although it is slow start, it's definitely better than nothing! ^^;

I thought that I was really familiar with my camera and how it worked, but unfortunately I don't feel like I really have it down. The viewfinder was really small and it made it very hard for me to see the footage that I was capturing. I also filmed my brother to get any moving shots with me in them and none of them turned out so great (which was sort of expected, he's never held any camera before).  Judging from all of the things that have happened today, I am going to need some more time to arrange my schedule so I can give myself more filming days. 

After talking with my dad I was able to get a subscription to Adobe Aftereffects since they have software which can help with the shakiness of my footage and it has more tools that I can use for later. Tomorrow I'm planning to take the time to learn about it a little more and hopefully get comfortable enough to use it! :D Oh and one more thing, I got around to making a Twitter account for my film! >:0 There's nothing on there yet but Im hoping that with the footage that I got today I can make some promotional tweets and maybe take some of the information that I have on my website. 

(I think the profile looks pretty cool!)

My apologies if this post was a little stale, but since I'm moving along with production I can't think of a lot to talk about since I'm just doing instead of planning or brainstorming. I hope that my next post will have a little more sustenance to it, wish me luck!
