Knock on Wood

Posted by pianowow on March 15, 2009

My first video in the style I wrote about on Friday.

I suppose I’ll get better at this, but these two minutes of video represent about 10 hours of work. More than that, if you include the time I took learning to use Final Cut Pro. I watched a few tutorial videos on youtube randomly, trying to pick up things I thought might be related to the project I was working on.

I think I’ll wait on my next attempt until after I move at the end of this month. Right now I don’t have access to a good microphone or any other audio equipment. I used my MacBook’s built-in camera and microphone to capture this. Next time I’ll step up the quality.
