Editing IV: Total Meltdown (4.12.08)

(Long Sigh)

The Last Crash
We edited for a few hours, got up to a whole minute and 30 seconds. The same problem kept occuring, but we were managing to build momentum. Unfortunately, the last time the program crashed.. it took everything with it. We were no longer able to open our project, and so we began recapturing..

Back to Capture
We only had time to capture one tape. This time though, we wrote the timecodes*, which we forgot to do the first time we captured it. It is simply writing down the time of the beginning and end of the shots you want to use. This makes it much easier to edit since you already know the location of the shots you want to use. If there is any bright side to the situation, this would be it.

Conclusion
We came to the decision that it might be the song we were using for the introduction, quite appropropriately named "Hell on Earth." It was a downloaded song sent by one of Joe's friends and as soon as it was put onto Chris's hard drive, his computer detected a trojan, and the hard drive didn't work properly after that. So, due to this song, all of our files were corrupted. In response to this, we will use a different song and only use my hard drive to store all of the files. Oh yea, and the song we are going to use will definitely not be downloaded.
