No longer on the back burner

Hey again guys. Sorry I disappeared from this for a while. Things were getting a bit overwhelming over here, so this project had to go on the back burner for a while. Everything's settling down now. That's not to say I'm totally in the clear, but I definitely have some time freeing up to complete this thing. Sorry for the massive delays and I'm happy to say I'm back in the swing of things.

Going to start updating with videos again

So I was trying to refrain from posting the second edit videos until the project was done, but I think that's boring! And now that the whole thing's beginning to come together (i.e., why didn't I do this earlier!) I'm going to start posting final (or close to final videos). Here's Terrible Lie:



There's some blotchy color patches that I noticed on youtube, but not on the original, so I still need to try this on another monitor to make sure it's not the video. Other than that, here it is! :) I'm going to go back through the one's I have finished and post some while I work on finishing everything up here.

Still working!

Sorry about the delays, I'm still working on the project. I'm still aiming for early April! I'll update via Twitter :) ---->

In This Twilight first edit

As promised, here's In This Twilight:

Video edits nearing completion

So I'm wrapping up the video edits and I'm working on menus, artwork and extras. I'm waiting on one extra because it so happens that someone else asked for the same thing at the same time. The entity we had asked for the footage got confused, thought it was for the same project, bah! But all of that got sorted out and someone is working on getting authorization to see if we can use that footage, then he'll send it to me, it'll go on the DVD and we will have ourselves an extra!

Again, I'm sorry for the delays. But I'm getting there. I've been up too many hours to bring up my timeline, but I'll re-edit this post with all that goodness :) If the artwork/menus/extras take too long and goes past april, I'll just throw up a torrent of the video edits only. Don't worry, I'm still burning the dvds/blurays for all those interested, but I want to get this out there!

A note on the "due date"

Currently in: Phase 2: Second Round Edit, sound and picture refining (Week 2 of 2)

I've been getting a lot of emails recently, asking for updates on the project and what day it will be done. I'm happy people are interested in what I'm working on and that you are excited to obtain what I've done. I'm still working on editing. I'm still in second edits, third portion of the show. I've put the little things that I said I would get done aside (megaupload gifts, youtube uploads) to better focus on the editing and project itself.

In the meantime, thank you for your support and interest and your patience is greatly appreciated. I somehow manage to find some kind of time to do this entire project on my own in between going to work and school, trying to have some semblance of a social life, keeping house with my boyfriend and spending time with my family. I know everyone is getting antsy, but please bear with me. Life causes delays that I can't always control, but this entire project will get finished and when it's done, it will be done right. I'm sorry I can't specify an exact date, but just keep an eye on this blog, my twitter, youtube channel, the threads on the NIN boards, all the means of communication that I have created to try and keep you guys in the loop and on top of my progress/time.

Thank you,

Jessica

I'm still here!

I haven't posted in quite a while, I've been busy in my batcave, working on getting all this stuff together. It's coming along nicely. I should finish the footage by middle of next week. It would have been this weekend, but a few unforeseen events happened and interrupted my flow.

I should also have a little something posted tomorrow that I put on the back burner for a while. Also, I'll have a full download of another song/video ready to go by tomorrow as well.

1,000,000 2nd edit

I'm working my way through part 2 of 3 of the show right now, but I wanted to share some of the stuff I've worked on so far. I know I said I wouldn't post one by one, but I couldn't resist! So I uploaded 1,000,000 to YouTube.



I'm still working on the color for this one. That side camera on Justin's side is the hardest to blend into the rest of the footage. What do you guys think of the flow of the edit? I think it may have lost some of its chaos, but runs smoother. I think this video, Letting You and The Wretched are the most drastically changed edits out of all the ones I've done so far. The latter two are definitely changed for the better. 1,000,000 might need a couple of crazy cuts for the hell of it :P

And for comparison, the original:
