Week Eight Thoughts

Tuesday's Episode

The proudest episode to date of ION is that of this past Tuesday. The story's were all interesting, and engaging, and Gino exceeded my expectations with the edit.

But it did not come without hardship. I received a text from Gino, our editor at 9:30am asking if he could skip editing this week. Jeremy had work and I had class, so it wasn't really going to work. SInce Gino starts editing at 10:30, it was short notice to scramble to make a plan. Since we were just finished shooting, I started to sync the footage and I did a rough edit on the first story. I left for class and Jeremy reedited the first and completely edited the second story. He then was able to pass it off to Gino who finished the stories and added assets. But that was just half the battle.

I needed to leave at 3:00pm. first cut of the episode was not ready from Gino until 3:15 pm. Without watching, I uploaded it and added the description, title, thumbnail, tags, etc. I left at 3:35pm and then got a text from Jeremy that there were mistakes in the edit. I was gone, but GIno was able to re-upload and take the info from my first upload. It all worked out and just so happens to be my favourite episode. 

Mini-Reflection

ION has come so far from the first episode. If you go to our channel and scroll down and watch the first episode compared to Episode 14, it is so much better now. I think I have grown a lot in front of the camera in the past eight weeks and am grateful for it all. We have one more week of episodes for this project, and I am excited to see what note we end it on.
