Okay, folks!! That's a wrap!!!

As the yellow exporting bar finally reached it's render goal of 100%, I got that feeling that I believe that all creators get when they finnish one of their works. They take a deep, proud breath and breathe a sigh of relief mixed with a sigh of accomplishment. That was me tonight. Seeing that bar fill up and then ding was like music to my ears.

After a month and a half of planning, writing, filming, editing, designing, printing, more editing and waiting, I have finally completed my final product. My film, "Living Life Offline," is finally complete!!
I feel very proud of this accomplishment given the amount of time and the resources I had to work with which was a sparse portion of each as my time was also being shared with other projects and my equipment and financial situation was minimal.

The process to get here though was very difficult and was sometimes, sorry, most of the time very frustrating as there are always unexpected bumps in the progress followed by redoing something that you thought was good but wasn't, to forgetting where certain files were and then staying up all night fixing it and so on and so forth...

But, I still had a great time making this film and if anything, it has confirmed that even though this field isn't easy it is a great feeling to make your vision come true and that makes it all worth it. Plus I actually enjoy shooting and editing so that helps a lot too! I look forward to a future full of creation, inspiration and sharing my visions with the world.

If you're interested in seeing the film, I will write a blog with a link to the Youtube link or you can view it soon on my film's Facebook page

The home stretch

As the date for showcasing our projects nears, I scramble to get everything in order for presentation.

Most of it is assembly work. 98% of the shooting is done along with the editing, audio, motion graphics  and the poster for the film is done.

I plan on doing just one or two more interviews before I wrap this whole thing up since I only have interviews given by younger college aged people and a teenager. I wanted to cover a larger range of age so hopefully my older interviewee has time to answer a few questions for me.

Other than that, I feel like the bulk of the project is done.    
My attention now turns toward working on blogs and and getting things ready for show.

I'm working on organizing my deliverables like my interviewee's signatures and information all filled out and getting ready to work on an online portfolio in a few days. I also will have to set aside some time to get some research information ready for the show.  
Here's where it would have payed to not put them off so long but I'm confident in my abilities to have everything ready for the show.
