Entering into this project I can't say I wasn't aware of my problem. I procrastinate.
This is a very frightening problem to me. It shouldn't be, sadly it is causing some problems. The only thing I can truly be happy about is that I did in fact make some progress. I should be glad that I am typing this. I should be glad that I have edited the video. I should be glad that I have a girlfriend who would spend a Saturday with me going downtown and shoot San Antonio landmarks. These are things that should help to offset the amount of work left.
Mr. Malaquias, the gentleman in the interview, is one of those men who have really come to know how they operate and are able to use that system effectively. It is a trait I seriously envy. Sadly I am still developing so I am nowhere close to a sanguine level of living. At least that means I can learn about more and more things easily.
Speaking of learning, editing this work was quite educating. I found out how much work I had to do in order to make the cut down final piece be coherent, all the while, eliminating parts of the conversation that were unfit for whatever reason (including “um's” and politically incorrect phrases) and using B roll to cover up my edits. It works out fine for now. I only hope I can finish this before the spring break.
This week my focus is on completing all my B Roll shots which include:
Malaquias teaching
Malaquias Working in lab
Student on the computer
Student working in lab.
General shots of the Campus.
All this before Luminaria... so...
I better get to it.
