Almost forgot to write
on here.
It's always late night when I get the chance to finally relax
and have time to myself. Everyone is asleep, so I don't get any
distractions from either in person or on the phone.
I ended up going home from the 559mm production studio
around 4:00 a.m. took a nap at home and went back around
7:00 a.m. I was exhausted from that nap. Car was on empty so
I stop at the nearest gas station to pump gas & grabbed a RedBull
(Why are they so expensive??!) well I guess its like cigarettes.
The guys are 559mm production are very generous when I need
something. In this business you have to take care of each other because
everyone has their own speciality to offer when its needed. Almost like
family, when your car needs to get fixed you go the family mechanic.
Same thing applies to given the stuff that I'm involved with.
I did this poster design for 559mm productions for their hip hop group name
" iMakENT" which are a rap group of a few local talents that are booming
in the radio air waves. They are the second local acts that have ever made it on
Radio, the group has a hit single called "BOOTY' a party single that caters to
teenagers & hip hop heads. Here is the poster design that I made for them, the feeling
of actually holding something you've created is an unbelievable feeling.
One thing that I've came in conclusion is to not have anyone wait
on me. I'll rather wait on them instead of someone waiting on a response
from ME.
**NOTE FOR THE READER**
you might notice I get a little jumpy on my stuff
I really don't got back & correct grammar & all because this
is something I'm writing off the top of my head.
It's late night right now & I'm almost done burning this Quinceanera
project. All it is in the post production world is a bunch of waiting around
until it gets completed. Almost like downloading a movie online, takes a long time
but when I actually edit & cut the footage of a project it's fun to play back & see
it in real time.
The way it looks on my computer, a bunch of confusing numbers & images right?
Sure did take me a while to get use to this screen. Usually when I'm done making a video
I drop it on this program called "Adobe Encore" I have total control on how I want something
to look like. For example I have a main menu, you'll have to press play, then it goes to the movie
and soon as the video is done it goes straight back to the main menu. PLUS I add a music track in the menu so it can add some flavor to it.
Almost done with this,
Good thing is that I'm already making
copies of the Quinceanera video. I usually burn
the families about 4 copies, only because it's a one-of-a-life-time
experience that they will forever remember. In that manner
they'll have enough copies to give to their family members & friends
I'm on my last DVD copie, but not done YET.
Still have to design a CD label for its cover, I wouldn't dare
give my clinet a blank cover front to them.
I'll post the rest of the process on the next blog.
Thanks for reading my blog, and
will like to hear from you.
