The hatred of the macs begin.

So today, we entered the Mac room at school for the first time this project, its own little electric heater, keeping us warm from the freezing weather, but that's where the positives stop.

OK so right there surely must of been an easier way than how we did it. But we plugged in Patricks Camera, clicked import videos from camera.. But NOO, it has to bring up every single video on Patricks camera, what dates back to filming our opening 2 minutes last year. So OK wait for a several minutes, while it gets thumbnails for all the pointless videos we don't need, then when it finally lets us chose the videos we want to import, but then thumbnail images weren't even created!! So we had to manually find the videos we wanted. THEN we had to check box each clip we wanted imported, which took ages, then Import them what took even longer, fair dos' we did have 22 minutes HD of footage.. but STILL!..
tut Imovie TUT.

Anyway I thought that rant might interest you, but the main point of this post was to explain what we did, so today we mainly just wanted to check out our footage, on a screen different to the cameras 4 inch screen, Which doesn't show the whole picture (quite literally) it cuts part of what the lens actually captures and you only find out you have extra stuff when it comes down to editing but also it does not show the full extent of any shake, reflections etc ( like what we found when looking at the phonebox shots.) Yes so we looked at them and had a look at editing the shots we did on Saturday with Jonny (the chase and push against wall)

So yeah that is all, seemed to have some good shots, we could use, but I'll stick to the WINDOWS programs, I know.
