Dead From It

My filmmaking class is killing me slowly. I just finished a project and I have 2 more back-to-back. I have had little time for anything else. I am doing a film shoot this saturday and possibly sunday too. The sad thing is, shooting the film is the easy/fun part. Then comes the editing. Enter Final Cut Pro. A total mystery to me because our TEACHER has never used it before. I have been blindly muddling my way through the damn system the entire time I have been using it and just hoping things turn out looking okay. Last night, when I was trying to burn my projects on DVD to bring to thanksgiving I discovered that I never saved the final version of ANY of my projects correctly. I could scream and cry and throw tantrums!! So tonight I have to go back to school, and spend most of the night in the editing room making things okay. Then I have to meet with the girl I am working with on the next project so that we don't fuck everything up on Saturday. AHHHHHHHHH!!! Then I have to begin the editing process (the longest, most complex one yet because it's a MUSIC VIDEO) and start preparation for my final project. AHHHHHHHHHH!! The only thing that's keeping me sane is the thought that it will all be over in mid-December one way or the other and I NEVER have to take another production class again.
